Watford v Rovers Wed 21st Oct 7.45pm
islander200 replied to darrenrover's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
On another day we don't miss as many chances.We created an awful lot of chances. We also won't come across a 50 million forward line many times either. Yes the result is what matters and the last few games the results have not been good enough. But it is absolutely ridiculous to be saying things like "out of the play off race already" ,"we will be closer to relegation than the top 6" etc so early in the season. We signed 4 players 6 days ago 3 of those players will be first team regulars. Against Forest we had multiple players unavailable. In spells we did look good last night. -

How was it absolutely awful? Poor result and that is what matters and defensively we were bad but we won't be the only team to fail to stop Sarr and Pedro. Some of our build up play was excellent and we created numerous chances. We were not absolutely awful,don't know what game you where watching -

Douglas has an injury hit past couple of seasons last thing we want is him picking up an injury and we have another Cunningham situation. I'm as anxious as the next man to see him in the side in place of Bell but he has had one match this season in the caraboa cup so can understand the manager holding back on giving him a start, he will be in the side soon enough -

Is that a fact that Brereton is the highest paid player as the club?Find that hard to believe Not that it's any better but Gallagher joined from a premier league club and was on a lucrative contract.Brererton wouldn't have been on such a deal at Forest . And Brereton will play every week? Nonsense statement Mowbray has left him on the bench more often than not since he arrived at the club?Up until this season he hardly made any starts -

Dack had a set back don't think he has even started contact training yet and if he has now started it will have only been the past week. Will have a couple of under 23 or behind closed doors games before he is even considered -

Yes and he has had some time with his family now it's time to come back .He really shouldn't be missing the game on Wednesday -
Elliot wasn't eligible. Is it Mowbray's fault Williams and Rothwell got tested positive for Covid now? There was one new injury during the international break in Bennett. Will say he deserves criticism for allowing Holtby such a long time off though and talk he won't even be back for Wednesday.
-
I can't trust you as a judge of player. You said Dack was a crap signing and rubbish player.Now our best player You said Mols was an exceptional talent.Now at some Spanish Fourth division side
-
Well considering he played an absolute peach of a ball to Armstrong for his assist he must hit some forward passes
-
What totally unthreatining? Hitting the post led to a goal not a threat?Playing Rothwell In after a great run that led to an assist from Rothwell and goal isn't a threat?Bs
-
When the stat man comes back on Joe h he might be able tell us but I'm sure I'd seen him involved in 4 or 5 moves that led to goals this season maybe chaddy knows?
-
Ok my mistake but wasn't making shit up has he been involved in 4 of the goals over the Wycombe and Derby match or 4 or 5 of the goals over the 2 game
-
I'm not saying he set them all up but he was involved in the moves leading up to it.Im not lieing either if I'm wrong im mistaken,but I was sure he had involvement in all the moves leading to goals at Derby
-
Yeah ok you accept useless is harsh and you don't think quoting my post about Bradley Johnson and going on a rant about Brereton isn't obsessive?.IV seen you do this before with chaddy making out it's a myth when it clearly isn't.Some players get irrational negativity...even when said player plays well .You responding to mine the way you did is my case in point my quoted post had absolutely nothing to do with Brereton it was about Johnson. And you are also making out that I'm saying Brereton is brilliant which I'm not but he was better in those 3 games than you suggest.Did you play at all? The runs Brereton was making in those games dragging players out of position etc are an important side of the game again not earth shattering,he played a part in all the goals we scored at Derby.Im just saying he has been better,last 2 games everyone been shit apart from the defence and I thought Brereton played the best of the 3 today all poor tho
-
It's not a myth he responded to one of my posts where Brereton wasn't even mentioned had nothing to do with Brereton and gave me a rant of how poor Brereton is, that's pretty obsessive in my book.So not sure what you on about?He also said Brereton has done nothing again this season which clearly isn't true so that's not saying it how it is it? I know you will say not many assists and no goals true, but Brereton has played a role in our good performances this season.He had a hand in all the goals against Derby, and his drive and run set Rothwell away to assist against Wycombe.Im not claiming that's groundbreaking stuff and nor am I saying he has been amazing but he did do well in those 3 games last 2 games so have the rest been shit apart from defence.So your telling me him saying Brereton has been useless this season isn't BS?
-
Yes Mowbray does in terms of tactics,like you say the way he used Evans and Johnson the point you made, Gallagher again out wide etc but my posts are in response to people saying things like "no chance of the play offs", "same old useless shite we always lose this sort of game" We were missing 5 starters a 6th when Dack comes back.Johnson and Evans midfield ,why he didn't loan out Davenport or sell him is beyond me.He did ok in his spell at Burton Albion in the championship granted a few year ago,surely a league one club would have at least loaned him. The 3 new signings come with a different mentality .

The majority of us spent yesterday on the transfer thread drooling over the business we have done. We discussed their attributes and how they would improve the team.Douglas solid left back excellent at set pieces,Trybull defensive midfielder not seen an awful lot of him but in the few games IV seen I think he will come into the side, Elliot yes only 17 but the fact he is with the first team and playing in some cup games and on for two league games last season already at that age tells you he is a bit special. Those 3 come here with winning mentality,2 have got out of the division in recent times and Elliot is around the Liverpool squad. Those 3, Rothwell, Holtby didn't play can't blame Mowbray for that . That's 5 starters from the team missing today imo and in the shorter term Dack to come back and longer term Travis. It will be a totally different team to today for the majority of season injurys aside.Hopefully Elliot will live up to what Klopp thinks about him and hopefully that will put an end to Gallagher coming on and Dolan used later when defences tire.I do think the lad looks a talent and although his standard has dropped a little last two games the whole team especially the midfield 3 have been much poorer aswell just think he could be a great impact sub and think he will go with Armstrong Dack Elliot Today was a terrible result and performance but in a few weeks time we will have a totally different team practically and Douglas, Elliot and Trybull bring a different mindset I do blame Tony for Holtby not playing today .Surely he back Wednesday?I can understand the birth and a few days after but back now surely
-
Did you watch the match? I wouldn't say they were ultra defensive but their 16 shots I'd say 1 or 2 troubled the keeper. It was a poor game and both sides were bad.We were absolute dogshit today but a draw still would have been a fair result
-
Brereton had a hand in all the goals we scored against Derby and that's a fact you only have to watch the highlights to see it for yourself Buckley looked overawed today and a little out of his depth but the way senior players at Ewood and management talk about him and iv seen glimpses with my own eyes I think he has something. Johnson and Evans shouldn't line up together again.
-
It is classed as an assist he also made a very good run and played Rothwell in who put it on a plate for Armstrong. I do not think Ben Brereton is a world beater,has he been poor for the majority of the time he has been here,yes. When everyone is available he wouldn't be in my starting 11. But did he play well in the first 3 games of this season he did play well and your overall opinion of him is blinding you to that fact imo.He ok first game ,good v Wycombe and he was excellent against Derby.Last two games he has been poor but so have all our other attackers. And on Buckley didn't realize he finished his career today.
-
Ffs you are saying he has done nothing this season when he did play well in the first 3 matches only someone with an agenda or doesn't have a clue about how the game is played would suggest otherwise. You also keep calling him a striker when he never plays up front.He was involved in goals in our first 3 matches,his runs opened space for others and he does have an assist when he Unfortunately hit the post. IV said he is never a 7 million man but he played well in the first 3 games has been shit in the last 2 games but so have the majority of the rest of the team including Armstrong and Dolan
-
Ridiculous response.So missing about 6 players that potentially start doesn't make a difference. You think other clubs wouldn't struggle with that amount out? Ok so we might aswell forget about the rest of the season so because you are basically saying the players returning and due to come into the side won't make a difference
