We have only scored more than 2 goals in a game at this level 4 times under Mowbray in 71 league games. Hit plenty of 3's and a couple of 4's in league one though.

Danny Graham got one last season, before that I imagine it must have been Rhodes.

So your answer to us scoring no goals, is to play no strikers? Going off what i have seen from our strikers so far that actually could work! I'd personally like to see Nyambe at right back, Rothwell right mid, Downing left mid with Travis & Holtby in the middle.

I said it a few days ago, but it certainly looks like we have gone back to the 2013-2015 period of "stop moaning, we're only x amount of points from the play offs etc etc" Winning one, lose one, draw one. I see this kind of ratio happening for the rest of the season to be honest, we'll be x amount of points away from the play offs until the end of time. Still,better than the 16-17 period under Coyle I suppose.

At the risk of derailing the thread, with him stating that the entire midfield was out with injury I reckon it was the one the year after. https://www.11v11.com/matches/tottenham-hotspur-v-blackburn-rovers-12-february-1994-21550/ Mark Atkins also assisted Gallachers goal in this game with the fine through ball mentioned in the original post I didn't get on the highlights but I remember going down on the train to this one with my mum, I'd have to see the goals again but I think they were both down our end in front of a really big away following. Anyway, Brereton....

I think he is thinking of the 2-0 win at WHL in 93-94.

If I was Rothwell, I wouldn't want to tie myself down here. I always felt Mowbray was playing Rothwell at the end of last season through gritted teeth, and only did so IMO because them last 6 or 7 games were like glorified friendlies, if there was something on them there is no way Rothwell would have been starting, as shown this season, one start in nine. I'd say already that our squad for next season looks worrying, we are still going to need a Goalkeeper, two new full backs, two new central defenders, a winger that is actually a winger, and maybe two forwards to replace Graham and maybe Dack.

I wouldn't read too much into it, he needs to get used to the "intensity" of this team apparently.

Yeah, only Dack would get close, but I wouldn't swap a front two of Newell & Speedie to accommodate him.

I saw Rich Sharpe point out a couple of interesting stats over the weekend, and after some digging found some of my own that show the "Character" of Rovers since Tony Mowbray took charge. Rovers haven't scored an injury time equaliser/winner in a league game since Fulham away in March 2017, the only other one in Mowbray's tenure is against Cardiff at Ewood in the same month We are yet to score an injury time winner in the league since Mowbray took charge (Last one being in February 2017, under Coyle, against QPR at Ewood) We haven't come from behind to win a game since April 2018 against Peterborough We have only come from behind to win a game in the league 3 times since Mowbray was appointed, Bristol Rovers home, Peterborough home & away in 17/18. In the 58 games since we came from behind to win a game, we have conceded the first goal 25 times, losing 19 of them. We haven't come from behind to win a game at this level since November 2016 which was under Coyle, against Brentford. The last time we conceded at Ewood park and won was New Years Day last season. Pretty damning stuff I would say, it generally means that if we go a goal behind, you might aswell go home as this lot aren't getting back into it. The signings of Cunningham, Downing and Johnson have no doubt helped the side to see games out when we are in front, but the lack of response when we go behind is really concerning and something that needs addressing if we are ever going to improve beyond a lower mid table side.

In years to come "that 15 minutes against Luton" will be as fondly remembered as "that tackle by Myles Anderson"

I really hate the argument that "Huddersfield relegated us single handedly". Proper shifting the blame, loser talk. They looked after themselves and I hope we would be in a position to do the same to someone else one day. I blame Venkys, Coyle, and even under Mowbray we had enough opportunities to get ourselves out of it, I'm thinking rotten performances against Barnsley & Bristol City at home, Gallagher not keeping the ball in the corner against preston, not attacking a poor Wolves side with 3 games to go etc etc. I'd completely forgot about what Huddersfield did until I just read it, and couldn't care less what they do this season.

Difference being Hughton has won promotions at this level, kept teams in the premier league, and has probably had a better managerial career than Mowbray. Hurst has done nothing.

Games last longer than 15 minutes Chaddy. What about the 75 minutes after that? Hughton has previous recent promotions at this level, whether he is good enough for the top flight is another debate entirely, but he would be more than good enough for us, and probably a step up from Mowbray.

I feel like we have gone back to 2014.

When you say Hughton plays negative/boring football, what brand do you think Mowbrays is? Hardly scintillating is it. It's just a load of slow, mundane passing until either Lenihan lumps it out of play or until Bennett plays a horrible overhit cross.

Take out that 15 min debacle at WBA, the other four games we have scored in first we have won, and all four games we have lost we have conceded first. We seem to be a very different side when we get in front, the likes of Cunningham, Downing, Johnson have definitely improved us in seeing games out, we just have very few ideas of how to get back into games when we go behind. No idea how this game will go, the only thing for certain is that there will be changes.

Didn't see anything about the £10,000 draw today ? Presume that one has been swept under the carpet like it never happened.

If Rovers are losing/drawing when the board goes up you might aswell go home. We never threaten in injury time, March 2017 last time we scored an injury time equaliser/winner in the league.

Ah right, so we're still none the wiser then?! "Some guy on Twitter" isn't a good source, as it was "some guy on twitter" that started the Bradley Johnson rumour. Glad to hear Johnson wasn't involved in that nonsense though, although I did notice that he didn't actually deny that he was there, just that he wasn't part of the incident.

If you listen to the start of the video though, the guy in question clearly says "Bradley Johnson, who is with us now and he was with Derby last year"

It does sound like Dack to be honest.

That statement is baffling. We were 7th come the end of January last season after 4 straight wins and our only business was to sign a player that Mowbray never had any intention of playing!

Without a doubt. I think we must have been able to secure the Chapman deal really cheap, with the intention of making a small profit on him at some point, I just can't see that he was bought here to be a regular in the side, Mowbray didn't fancy him in league one to start games, so he wasn't all of a sudden going to throw him in the side a level higher. Ironically I think if he had stayed at Middlesbrough that Woodgate would have given him more first team opportunities than he will get here, he must be absolutely kicking himself for signing for another under 23 side.

If our first team has Magloire, Grayson, Buckley & Butterworth as regular starters next season then I think it will be a right old struggle. Early days, but the signings of Cunningham, Johnson & Downing, and you might be able to put Holtby in there too have shown that a bit of experience and knowhow is exactly what this side has been missing.
