As long as we keep clean sheets then that's all that matters.

Yes I've been especially impressed by what I've seen from Dolan. The good thing about the pressing is that it doesn't require mega talent to do. Just hard graft and a bit of nous to close down the space. Mowbray must be given some credit for drilling it into the players to do that. I've seen us concede too many times over the years because players are too lazy to go and win the ball back after losing it, especially the forwards.

It's best to reserve judgement until much later in the season. However us football fans tend to be an all or nothing bunch ploughing all our emotions into either red or black on the weekly roulette wheel that is club football.

Yes, all united together saying the same thing. "Venkys out!"

If the team is willing to work hard together then there is always a chance of getting a good result no matter who the opposition is.

Wow! We managed another clean sheet. Hopefully we will keep that trend up.

If he wasn't moaning about this he'd find something else believe me. Haha

I whole heartedly agree

Mine used to be a barking dog. I was reprimanded for that.

To me it feels as though the family home you loved and grew up in has been sold off to some slum landlord who have allowed it to be turned it into a meth lab and let the whole place fall into a state of disrepair.

My Father in law is a Preston fan and he's still spewing about Preston letting him go to Rovers for nowt.

Reports are conflicting and Wikipedia is not the most reliable source at times. I don't think there are many contemporary reports discussing this. All the things I've ever seen about this are after the fact. Fact is we've played in the famous blue and white for a lot longer than most clubs have existed.

Unfortunately those types of player are not encouraged in the game any more. I think the way they coach players now there is no tolerance of players taking someone on and beating them. Heavens forbid that might lose possession. As effective as pressing and passing is, I find it quite tedious and boring. As in all facets of life now, individuality has been eradicated in favour of homogenised mediocrity.

Whatever happened to good old 442 getting it down the channels and banging it into the box? Those were the days.

So anyway, Tony Mowbray......

How wrong I was. 😀

That is a belter. I wish I could have been around to see Rovers back then.

He is the holy one after all

We will be beaten.

I do miss the good old long sleeve shirts. I am quite fond of the shirts we have this season. A little bit different with all the blue and whit on one side each but they are nice. The Arte Et Labore on the back just below the collar is a nice touch too. The yellow away shirt is a belter also. Cudos to Macron.

I actually LOLd at this.

Excellent. People really do get carried away with the Tony Mowbray bashing. He's not been that bad really. Is he the man to take us forward? I would say no. He’s taken things as far as he can and although he's made some great signings the only way we will stand a chance of keeping hold of any of them is if we are seriously challenging for a top four finish at the very least. I think it's time to roll the dice at the end of the season, unless of course we go up.

I can still remember people shouting BEAMO whenever someone boomed it over the bar. I always wondered what that was all about.
