Blackburn v Doncaster, FA Cup, Sat 9th Jan
Exiled_Rover replied to JPTSwindon's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
He's been floundering for a while, trying to get us to play 4-2-3-1. He stumbled across 4-3-3 in the lockdown, but now this has been found out too. He doesn't have any more answers. He's lost. -

He had a shot blocked from a corner, otherwise no. -

He's the only one who holds the ball up in our front 3. He needs to work on his finishing for sure, but he's still a work in progress. Most importantly he fucking runs his socks off for 90 minutes and provides a constant outlet. He's the least of our problems. -

Fair enough. In Dolan I see a talented (albeit physically limited - he's small and is never going to be anything more than 'quick') player who needs to seriously refine his game before he's ready to start for the first team. That said I'd have him in ahead of Gallagher as a RAM any day of the week. -

His lack of effort chasing back for a Doncaster attack - when he's playing RB - would have resulted in me dragging him off if I was in charge. -

So is Dolan if that's your standard. -

LOL you can tell commentators only look at the stats. "Armstrong has been in the type of form where if he gets one chance today he's likely to take it". -

Stonewall pen that, based off the one Toney got. -

I watched the Coventry iFollow feed against them earlier in the season. They had a novel approach of reading out fan tweets / messages during the game. Good lord does that fan base hate Mowbray. I can see why. -

Nothing wrong with the back 4 there, they kept their shape. The fact we've got 3 sitting CMs and their player was running free at the back 4 (with said 3 CMs all in picture jogging back) says everything about Mowbray as a tactical genius and man manager. -

He was lucky that wasn't a red. -

Lot of low squad numbers and loanees for this to be their reserves. -

He was wrong footed by Lenihan's deflection. He was there to tap it in. -

In our 4-3-3 formation you have to play Dack in the Holtby / Buckley creative role in the middle 3. He's just too slow to play in the front 3 and playing him as a False 9 is self defeating. -

Dolan needs to release the ball earlier - he wants too many touches. Downing slows everything down - like he did last year. He retains possession, yes, but he allows the other team to get into their defensive shape. -

I can't understand the Dolan love - people definitely watch him through blue and white tinted glasses. -

Well obviously we'd be 3-0 down already if Whiteman was playing. How's his move to Real Madrid going btw? Just haggling on the goal bonus now, right? -

This midfield is so disjointed - everyone wants to sit. -

He wants to get Pears a game - nothing wrong with that. Personally I'd have rested Johnson too and given a few of the U23s a game, but I'm not a tactical genius like Mowbray so what do I know. -

Big win that. Playoffs have gone, but we were in danger of getting dragged into a relegation struggle with our form. -

Mowbray has shoved him wide left. He proved he couldn't play there for two seasons.
