Wouldn't surprise me if that is already in the pipeline and they'll get a minimal fee plus add ons and his wages off the books.

100% they are trying to force Dack out.

Not when we are so skint we haven't and not on the back of 3 others walking for free either. We'll survive but it's an absolute travesty and it's a 7 million quid of young talent that'll be replaced by someone a lot cheaper.

That was just a rerun of the old Lancs Cup pre season games over there which were always fun.

Typical back tracking again i swear these lot take their prompting from the Govt, say something then do the opposite but it doesn't matter because you're only crunching numbers. Sun'land will bring 4 or 5k at least

That's because the onus seems completely on finding young rough diamonds to maybe buy and polish up to sell rather than actually building a promotion side. He does look like a player who would be better suited on loan in the lower leagues building himself up rather than competing to start in an upper table championship outfit. I suspect we aren't contributing much to his wages that's why he's here, a cheap squad filler.

Abbs is currently veering between the odd suspension on twitter/facebook 🤣 About time he got himself back on here he just needs to do as i do and keep out of the echo chamber !

The win lose scenario to continue ? Probably but i'll go ... Cardiff 2 Rovers 2 in a surprisingly entertaining ding dong.

Having been able to replace Lenihen and Nyambe with good cash buys plus the good young players we and still holding onto the likes of Dack and BBD imo we really need to be having a go this season. A load more will probably leave in summer and they'll need replacing with little or no money so i'd be aiming for the top 6 this season. JDT is a young ambitious coach and he's come into a club finishing 8th last season and been backed to replace some of those who left. They need to put top 6 aspirations before the need to get mins and value into players otherwise we'll never get near it.

It was an odd one but someone at Ewood wanted him badly enough to bid 5 times.

I think we had over 60% possession stats in the first half but were dire and barely registered a shot or corner, neither did they but they weren't looking for it. More even from the start of the second and we were a bit better so it's the same old story the less possession based game suits us more. Have a go, concede a bit more possession, score first, win. Possession won't translate into goals when most of it is between keeper and defenders.

Got to accept that Millwall come just to frustrate and focus on stopping any game plan first and foremost so that contributed to the shockingly poor aspect. His subs for the sake of it though are making Mowbrays seem sensible. I'm constantly stuck with JDTs system wondering which way it's going to pan out. Are we going to click and get a bit more fluid and balanced or are teams going to start benefiting from the fannying about at the back, disjointed team selections are risky subs. But we keep winning every other game and picking up 3 points so maybe he has a midas touch in there somewhere.

On a skateboard by the sounds of it.

The Yoof will have them and the Treatment on their toes 🤣

Bushwackers giving it a miss today then.

0-0 We are about due one and this type of opposition alongside our traditional sluggish emergence from international breaks, this could be it. 10.833

Oh you would have been and so would i 😉

I never went with the theory they gave him 6 million and said he had to sign an investment player only rather than buy a couple of oven ready players. That was him and his gang looking for projects to carry on their journey rather than heap pressure on themselves putting together a squad for the top 6.

Only reason i comment is there's a Sunderland news thing keeps popping up on my facebook and on a daily basis i see Mowbrays comments identical to here just different names inserted. Every other day he mentions Rovers one way or another so it's hard to avoid attention still being drawn to him. I keep waiting for the odd skeleton or snippet to pop up from his time here which they already have and will again. I had his card marked all along here as in him being a very crafty old sod who knew how to work the room. There's an edge to him that isn't humble at all he just has a good way of covering it whilst sliding in the odd veiled digs and insults. He was hurt by the way things panned out here which in a way is understandable but at the end of the day that was down to him and the owners, not the fans or the club. His ego must be the most brittle in football though and if things turned sour up there he'd walk not sit it out like he did at little old Rovers because he could get away with it.

I'd suggest now it's the room in the budget the AA money freed up that has been spent recently. I'm not sure Mowbrays word is gospel on these subjects all for some reason he'd lost their backing in transfer money a long time ago. Still hard to accept they didn't back him in Jan for a real promotion tilt but he was still able to bring in 4 decent players on paper and look what happened with them. If he'd been given a couple of million instead he'd probably not have gone for it himself we'd have had 2 signining like the Spurs lad instead of 1. Mowbray himself was never about promotion.

But he doesn't need to keep dropping in the 1995 line and there's only 12k there that's pathetic and sums him up to a tee.

In other words 'i'm a great manager but had no backing so couldn't push them on' Still full of shit he's going through his full repertoire up there now on a daily basis but doesn't explain why he was on the scrapheap when Rovers plucked him up. He's right about reinvestment but the other side of the coin is he had great backing from the owners under the circumstances. And he was NEVER forced to sell one player so you can't have it all ways when working under tight conditions.

I think there'll be a few more yet as TM was here 5 years and he had carte blanche to build his own staff. There will be more loyalty to him than BRFC and i'd expect a player or two to follow. This is how Mowbray always works. Hopefully they are brassic so can't pull any of our good players.

Shore up the middle and add a bit of muscle and it would limit them strolling back through us. We need a Bradley Johnson type again from somewhere who has a bit left in his legs imo

He said he wasn't speaking in the window and he didn't, he said he'd speak after it closed and he has so he's broken a trait of lies and ignorance already in this ownership era. He kept his word, that's rare around Rovers so fair play to him.
