The comparison between pre and post match Gallagher comments makes for great reading ?
-
I meant between him and Mowbray
-
Well we needed that. Clean sheet AND 3 points eh. And suddenly Woodgate must be the bookies fave to get the chop first now. Wasn't impressed with them at all. Now tempted to drive up to Hull after work on Tuesday ?

Championship season 2019-20
Ossydave replied to arbitro's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Aye true! I hadn't realised just how bad they'd been tbh till I was reading Huddersfield fans comments, none of them seem particularly bothered he's gone... -
Really looking forward to this. I also suffered near fatal head injuries, also at the fault of a taxi driver funnily enough in Darwen. The recovery process is so mentally difficult and I bet I can relate to much of what Matt says. I read Richard Hammond's book after his accident and i suspect theres many similarities.

Getting a pint at half time means going downstairs about 3.30pm it's a joke. Pouring pints of Fosters one at a time on a pump when they have a machine that does about 6 at once? I'd say we're one of, if not the worst grounds in the league for it. Best is easily Bristol City. The bar/food setup there is brilliant and the choice something else too! Against Charlton I did clock that in the smoking area they open up at the Bburn end there's someone pouring pints though so if you head out there as soon as the doors open you get served straightaway. Perhaps shouldn't be telling everyone that ?♂️?

I'd say playing as a full back is one of the easiest positions to master on a football pitch. In fact at school and growing up it was always usually the least talented lads who got made to play there (kinda where we're at with Bennett I guess). There's basic fundamentals you learn like getting staying goal side, adjusting your position to allow for pace and jockeying your man to the touchline/byline out of play. Get them basics right then you can't go far wrong, when you've spent your career as a winger the over lapping part of the game should be an absolute doddle and you should really have an insight into how a winger thinks as well and have the upper hand on them already. In fairness Bennett actually played well against Fulham, but then the second goal happened. He was slightly unlucky there though in that he slipped. I think part of the problem with our full backs, all of them, is confidence. It helps to have a centre half barking orders at you and it also helps to have a settled back 4. Neither of which we've had for donkeys years. Hopefully Tosin can bring that, surely it's been coached into him at City to be vocal. It's easy to ask for Nyambe over Bennett but he doesn't fill me with any more confidence whatsoever to be honest.

Championship season 2019-20

Quick? They've won 1 game in 7 months ....... Regardless of what level you're at, that's pathetic -
No chance of that He's a young boy as TM says More likely to go out on loan
-
Well I said on Tuesday I was leaning towards the Mowbray out side of the fence and he had 2 games to change my mind. We somehow won one of them albeit in slightly fortunate circumstances so I'll let him dazzle me tomorrow...... I think scoring a few goals will help, hopefully all them 3 men will start the game tomorrow. Literally no idea what to expect though in all honesty, in fact I feel like that almost every game these days. I know we have players capable of winning but we seem to be either dreadful or surprisingly impressive in spells. Might just be blind optimism but I think we'll win 3-1 tomorrow.
-
We've filled a 32 seater and more after getting involved. Worth going for the Vine alone ?
-
Well that COULD be the catalyst to a decent run, or it could of course be a false dawn, who knows. Had we got beat though you'd be scrambling round to find a positive fan. I dare see we will see Danny Graham start Saturday now
-
We're playing with 2 at the back. Absolutely desperate times. Sick to death of this season already ????

European Champions League 2019/20

Like who? Porto? -
Score? Hell fire a shot on target would be a start!!!!
-
I'm on the verge of signing up as a Mowbray out member now, this second half and Boro game to change my mind Tony?
-
I agree 100% Mowbray himself had noticeably changed, he looks a stressed, disheveled mess at the moment. He seems snappy and quite frankly rude in some interviews. Man under pressure maybe? Or man who's stressed up to the eyeballs and on the verge of losing it?
-
Yeah was gonna say his last visible tweet is a positive one about a pre season win. Its a shame its come to that, but to be honest a team captain needs to be able to take a bit of bloody criticism from a fan.
-
So Mowbray said post match that if he was fit yesterday Nyambe would have been 'involved'. Not sure whether to take that as though he would have started or if he just means he would have been in the squad. I guess by making Bennett captain it strengthens his case to stay in the team though, unless of course he was actually planning for Lenihan to be captain. I wouldn't usually be particularly bothered about the league cup but Tuesday serves an important purpose now. Go out there and bang some goals in for christ's sake, a clean sheet would be nice too. Oldham incidentally have had almost an identical shite start to the season as us and sit joint bottom on 0 points, looks like they didn't fare much better pre season either! If we can't notch a few goals against them then it really is time to get worried.
-
And? We all had an opportunity to watch it super fan ?
-
He's fucking useless, every bet he posts loses emphatically ?
-
You can blame the strikers all you want, where the hell is the service though? Its surely time Chapman got a run out now. Not a single player in that team today frightened their defence, Chapman and his pace DOES, he creates things, he wins free kicks, he is a nuisance
-
What do we do against Oldham then? Mix it up a bit or stick with what we think is our best team? Personally I'd go with the latter. Too much tinkering goes on and we just need to knuckle down now and let the same players gel.
-
I was probably going to give Bennett and William's some credit up until a few minutes ago, then it happens again ? Far from a complete disaster some predicted today but some way to go.
