2-1 QPR They'll have too much about them. Who knows what side/formation Mogga will go with. No doubt it will be some esoteric concoction that only he understands.

If true, I'd suggest there's better ways to spend 85k.

I'm not sure what his position is. Too weak to play central Too slow to play in a wide position. No ability to score from a forward position.

How do you know that is factually correct?

Why not get rid of him now and give a new guy the remainder of the season to assess what is needed? Waiting any longer just delays things.

True, but otherwise he did't do a great deal. As I said though, probably says as much about the rest of the team a sit does him.

Mowbray is just not a good enough manager. It's as simple as that for me.

I thought it was just me thinking that. I said to may daughter, just prior to the first goal, that Rothwell had hardly touched the ball. How he got MOM I'll never know. Perhaps that says more about the rest of the team. Also, I see people giving Edun plaudits. He looked lackadaisical at times to me, giving the ball away with uncommitted passing a la Bell.

I keep saying this, but he can't win football matches with any consistency at all. It's just not in him, he's not capable. His substitutions and in-game awareness were atrocious yet again today.

Buckley/Dolan/Poveda is my bet, with Johnson replacing Buckley in midfield.

I think it's a bit of a stretch to overly credit the Chilean coaches. Brereton has been with them for what, 4 weeks or so in total? If we're crediting them, then we have to credit Mowbray et al more so.

I'm with you here @rigger, he's getting over hyped based on a handful of games. The bubble may burst as soon as it inflated. Hopefully it doesn't burst though, for Rovers sake. I don't give two hoots what he does for Chile.

If he did that at Ewood tomorrow, we'd be in raptures. Poor goalkeeping, mind you.

Exactly this.

Sorry, but that's all ifs, buts and maybes. Anyway, it's best to agree to disagree!

We didn't sign him for £6m last year though, that's totally irrelvant. We did sign him for 7 million 4 years ago- which was a lot of money at the time - and for 3+ of those he's been attrocious. That's fact. His stats over 4 years show that he's a 5 goal a season man. That's fact.

You're happy to label the signing as 'working out', based on a dozen or so improved performances, despite him costing £7m (that's 7 MILLION), and being absolutely attrocious for 3 years. I call that a bad deal.

I'll ask the question again, this time with a caveat, How has this deal worked out - as it currently stands - with no ifs and maybes - for Blackburn Rovers?

How has it paid off? We might sell him for a few million profit. that's it. Looking at it holistically, the team is no better off as a result of this 'project'. We're still the same mid table plodders we were 4 years ago. I'd argue that the money should have been spent on a number of players who could have improved the team in more than one area.

I made the mistake of reading the comments. Wow.

Spending £7m on 'projects' is a massive gamble thiough. Brereton could quite easily regress or get injured a la Dack. In our financial situation, I'd rather that we spent the money across the board on proven players who can make an instant difference.

It takes at least 2 goals for us to win a game. We're hardly good at keeping clean sheets!

I genuinely don't see why you think he was good at Blackpool. I was there. The whole team was awful and as bad as each other.

Without Brereton, just exactly where are these goals going to come from? Who is going to surprise us and step up? Brereton has scored something like 8 out of our last 10 goals.

One good cross does not maketh a winger, @chaddyrovers
