Lambert rated him enough to give him a three year deal. It was the only time that Evans was consistant while he has been at Ewood. It is the annoying thing about him is that there is potential there. Still think there is a question about his core fitness as he always looks knackered after an hour.

or trying to flog him.

Because he and his mates had acheived what they set out to do. FLeece Rovers and save Rangers with the cash. Never was going to stay.

Edwards wasn't it.

Oddly probably not RW where IMO he is frustrating. The crosses he put accross from RW are usually floated to the back post and are very easy to defend. Even last season he was the one that got the team going like against PNE at home with a supercharged tackle.

I think he was mentioned earlier in this thread but the worst has to be Paul McKinnon. Rumours were Bobby Saxton went to watch Andy Mutch at Southport before he became part of the Bull/Mutch partnership at Wolves. Saxton was more impressed with McKinnon so bought him with our very limited budget. Much went on to be successful at Wolves in the old Div. 1. McKinnon made Chis Brown look like Harry Kane and I think is the only forward who has a worse scoring record than Brown. I think the only goal he scored in Blue and white was an own goal in a reserve game so has a record of -1. I maybe wrong there but he was still the worse I've seen.

but not while wee Owen is there....I'd wait a couple of weeks and that won't be a problem

Signed a contract extension last week

If that was the case he'd have give him a proper warm up, not brought him on instantly

oh....I forgot......Antonsson down the middle

Caddis...down the right.....Hart .......down the left Attack..Attack....Attack

Agree totally. It was clear it was hamstring even to an amateur like me. Shouldn't mess get them off

This is a massive blow to Mowbray. It looked serious on Saturday.

Daughter was Rovers mascot that day. Tugay was great that day before the game as well

"We need to make sure our best young talent is secured and he thinks he’s in the best place for his career." The above quote I'm sure is aimed at Senior so I think it's probably aimed at both sides, so both sides' power brokers need to get their act together.

I think its more a message to the Senior and above to get CM tied down and get his contract sorted. It's obvious that TM sees Mahoney as the future of the club, even it is to sell him for a large fee. Letting him walk for next to nothing to save a wage is very short sighted even by this club's standards.

Every manager has black spots on his CV and even wee Owen has a plus on his CV A manager/coach can be good for one club whilst being absolutely awful at another. TM did not fill me with confidence when I heard his appoint but since then everything he has done since, bar wearing a claret and blue tie has got me enjoying football again. He has earned the support the crowd and has given them something to believe in.

Dont care what colour he wears so long as he does not turn up in shorts and knee length socks.

He'll get back to you, once he check whats being said on Twitter lol

Normally I'd agree with you but with the management and coaching of the previous regime even players who we know are better were performing at a league one level. Its unfair to expect a youth team player to come in and be premiership level from day one, especially in a team playing as poorly as we were. The new manager has started to rebuild confidence. Fitness will surely follow and hopefully performance levels will increase of all the team. A couple of weeks ago Championship level players would have been an improvement on what ww were watching. The four young players who have featured could with the right coaching could hold their heads in the Championship. If one or two can kick on and play premiership standard then all the better.

At this moment in time, the question should be is he Championship material? Rovers are no where near the premiership lets not judge our players above the station they are it. Next season we may need to judge if his league one standard.

Still think PL thought he'd get the celtic gig. All he had to do was walk.

Hopefully it means everyone going in the same direction unlike previous regimes

Lambert came in, he saw that we weren't fit enough worked on fitness which was a plus but whether he was a good manager I still undecided. He came in with grand ideas about Marshall about him having a clear defined role rather than moving around then promptly moved him around until he ended up back at right back. He had a clear defined style of play which did not suit Rhodes. Whether that was because he knew Rhodes was going in Janurary only he will know. For one series of games he got the team playing, we should of beaten the Dingles, we murdered Fulham and Boro but lets not forget we went on long runs without winning as well. After his first choice 11 the rest of the squad could not play the style he wanted but he refused to alter the system. His signings were debatable at best. Ward, Bennet and Jackson were hardly inspiring even with the limits on funding. All three had played under him previously so this hardly showed a wide range of scouting or a wide range of player knowledge. The fact that he took Marshall and was rumoured to after Hanley suggests this still an issue for him. Boywer strong point that he seemed to pick up a sound player from somewhere so did that scouting leave with him, I know it could have been his dad as rumoured, so probably yes. Lambert's season at Wolves seems to echo his time at Rovers so a pre-season and next season will show if he is a good manager or a fraud because at this stage I genuinely don't know especially after his time at Rovers. My cousins who are both Villa fans have a clear view on him and it points to the negative. Mowbray does need time. He has spoken a good game, he has quickly already pointed out this season's weaknesses in defence. Fitness levels will take time but I genuinely feel that if he shows one ounce of football knowledge our beloved Rovers will survive. It looks like by the end of next week injured players will be returning which will be needed for the run in. We are well aware of the stench of certain agents around the club so I'm afraid Jal's question is a resonable one Chaddy and Parsons, but we are now stuck with Mowbray so for the good of this great club we all have to get behind him. As soon as our fate is sealed this season then questions about whose behind Mowbray can be asked. Senior is a worry though and he fans need to get him to Q and A to grill him because the local media are in the club's pocket.

It should of been after the Norwich game
