it`s not a question of becoming big and strong,it`s about learning to look after yourself and getting to grips with becoming harder to knock off the ball,being loaned to preston helped beckham come to terms with the ugly side of the game ,he came back to utd a changed player physically,buckley at the moment is`nt ready for 1st team action imo,he is far to lightweight

it`s all about the clique with tony,if any prospective signing shows attitude,spirit or a bit of bedevilment in their meeting he sees them out the door faster than a jehovas witness

As far as I’m aware, the real hold up comes from Suhail. He’s the one that the Ewood staff think is responsible for things going to shit. The policy seems to be Venus identifies targets, Mowbray puts them to Waggot (affectionally known as Swag internally), Swag does the negotiation then refers it up to Suhail. Theoretically all that work can be done and then it can be kiboshed at the top. It shouldn’t get to that level and then have anything but an approval. no self respecting manager can or would operate under those conditions,to me it`s further proof that mowbray does`nt give a hoot and is topping up his pension,if he had anything left in the managerial locker he`d walk away from the situation,mind you he did get the go ahead to blow 12 million quid where it was`nt needed,maybe suhail is`nt so keen on wasting another load of cash and is keeping the vault locked up

and seven million for a fragile,so called centre forward who can`t do anything,iv`e given up on waggot and mowbray,they don`t exist in my world anymore

with the wisdom of ben benson kaminski will be ousting courtois from the no 1 jersey very soon

lol that can`t be true surely,mind you,we don`t know if he`s any good because he never gets a game

a bag of sasparella tablets and some pickled onion monster munch

when garner smashed in that volley i was right at the back of the blackburn end with mates but finished halfway down terrace pinned to a crush barrier?only thing i can say about the end is jimmy hill was a **** for blaming that ballgirl?

agree,he should flash his knickers at mowbray

the big mistake is shuffling him around,give him one position and see how he does though i i also don`t know what you can do with him,rothwell is the same,the biggest **** up of all though was signing both of them without knowing what they offer,the recruitment side of our club is a joke tbh,it looks to me like they don`t have any active scouts and agents are sending tony videos from which he decides on who to sign

or wants to!!!!!

tony is highly likely to set up a defensive formation for bournemouth,ironic when we`ve got a **** left back ,a couple of inexperienced centre backs and a goalkeeper who will have had 5 days with his team mates?,that said i`ve got a feeling we`ll snatch a victory

not sure that he can`t head the ball,from what iv`e seen he can`t jump and get up for it,in any form of competetive football thats a serious handicap for a centre back,wharton can`t pass water but he certainly can get up to head a ball

i was there,terrible performance that was so bad the blackburn end started cheering for oxford,apparently also the match where jack walker started serious intentions to buy the club

will ted mcdougall be playing?

bournemouth 0-3 rovers brereton starts to fulfil his potential when he smashes in a hatrick,right foot,left foot and towering header☺️

eric dier is a shocking footballer,if he`s an international then im`e lionel messi,shows how far the national side has fallen when you`re picking stiffs like him,i was very impressed by ward prowse last year,maybe him and rice were lacking match fitness,bloody stupid time to be playing international football though

it`s only a friendly but it appears to me that mowbray has`nt the faintest idea of his best side and formation,it`s like musical chairs ffs

ray charles and stevie wonder can also see our defensive frailties!!!!!

aint going to happen is it,not going to pass the mowbray niceness test and wages out of our reach

he used to live on buckshaw village during his rovers time and you are quite right,he did used to go out a lot on the razz,he was quite obnoxious as well after a few pints,still think he`s a good defender though,bar lenihan he`s miles better than anyone we`ve got now

he`s exactly the kind of centre back we need,no nonsense,big,physical and good header of the ball,everything williams is`nt,cannot see it happening though?

i would`nt like to be behind him at the breakfast buffet

mowbray,waggot,the coaching staff and half the team are in their cosy little enviroment,no pressure on them to achieve anything but a mid table finish,once you start buying better players the job becomes a bit harder,because they are ambitious and the fans will start expecting as well,i suspect that is why we keep missing out on targets,mowbray is contented in his own bubble,he does`nt want to try for promotion imo

getting on a bit now is gordon lee!!!!!!he must be nearly 90?,i don`t rate mowbray as a manager,his man management is terrible and the treatment of harrison reed was a turning point in my opinion of him,everyone could see his potential in the middle of the park apart from mowbray,kendal,saxton and mackay were far better managers on an absolute shoestring budget,i would`nt be to bothered if he ***** off tommorow tbh
