Negative or abusive?

What did he say that has you so riled up?

Just give him until the end of the season. Too many posters are basing their opinions on what has happened in the past and disregarding the fact that we are having a really good season so far with a lot of players finally fulfilling their potential and TM himself much improved with his selections and tactical decisions. In TM’s 5 season with us so far he has neither overachieved or underachieved. 1st season - the form under him was excellent and we were very unfortunate to go down in the end. 2nd season - promoted on first time of asking 3rd season - comfortably avoided relegation zone and started the rebuild of the squad in the Championship 4th season - top half finish 5th season - this was the only major disappointment for me. We had a squad that was capable of promotion but we let it slip. Although I think a ridiculous number of injuries were the main contributor to our loss of form, TM didn’t make things better with a lot of baffling decisions 6th season - currently challenging for a playoff spot with a squad that’s got the 3rd most goals in the league playing some really great football at times He’s basically made steady progress with us every season other than last season. You shouldn’t sack someone when they’re hitting their targets. If he still fails to achieve anything this season, bring someone new in and start fresh.

I think whether he stays or go will be conditional on his performance in the next 3 matches. There’s about 7-9 clubs vying for the last 2 playoff spots atm. We could easily find ourselves in one of those spots by the time the international break comes around. We’re facing bottom of the league Derby and an underperform Sheff Utd at home. It would be outrageous to sack him when we have the 4th best GD in the league and 1 point away from top 6.

1 of them is in the starting lineup?

Bereft of creativity this side, completely unbalanced. Other than Rothwell who's capable of creating any chances?

FFS, finally a decent attacking move... comes to Clarkson and he fluffs it.

Clarkson is not good enough. It's like playing with 10 men.

That was the most shambolic defending of a free kick I've ever seen. Don't think anyone knew where their man was.

This board was whinging and moaning about the money “wasted” on Brero and Gally not too long ago. Now it’s all about Venky’s turning the taps off. Its like goldilocks and the three bears on here.

I posted the same at half time. Buckley should have been taken off as he was being targeted by Coventry and was shirking out of challenges since he was on a yellow. Tbf to Mowbray, his subs did change the game back into our favour again but they came too late. One of my biggest qualms with Mowbray is he makes subs too late and it's cost us a lot of points in the past. Sad to say, but I think the crowd numbers affected our performance. All you could hear was the Coventry fans in the second half and the were spurred on to get back into the game on the back of that, while we started to lose our nerve. It feels like this team could actually finish in the playoff places this season, but if the fans can't unite behind (or despite) the manager/owners I don't see it happening.

Personally I don't get it. I'm stuck in the world's most locked down city unable to even leave my apartment without a mask. I would love to have the chance to go down to Ewood to see this team potentially break into the top 6 again. If it's just a matter of ticket prices or people struggling financially at the minute then I understand, but otherwise why not get out there to support your team?

I think Buckley needs to come off at the break. Nearly conceded one there because he had to shirk out of a challenge in case he got a second yellow. 2-0 up we can afford to lose some of his creativity to have Johnson or Davenport come on instead.

Champagne football that - beautiful goal. Liking the look of Van Hecke and Edun as well.

Yes

That’s actually a pretty strong team. Feeling more confident we might win tonight. Big test for us as we showed last season we struggled beating teams above us in the table.

I have no idea what he would want to do but staying at Rovers and taking the former Premier League champions back to where they belong after over a decade absence would be some story and only add to the growing legend of Brereton Diaz!

Lenihan and Nyambe have both been at the club for 10+ years. They've had at least 5 senior campaigns with us in that time. I love both players and would happily have them stay at the club to the end of their careers, but they both have a history of being injury prone and if they are offered better opportunities elsewhere that they want to take in the future then all the best to them. It's a bit ridiculous to suggest that the management of the club is driving us to lose them when they've been here this long. Rothwell looks to be on the radar of clubs like Rangers with who he'd be playing in Europe. He's given us 3 good seasons, and now into his 4th with us - if he has offers from higher up the footballing pyramid you can't really fault anyone for that.

I find it absolutely incredible people are looking at the likes of Portsmouth, Bolton & Wigan in envy. I would never want to trade our fantastic team of academy graduates and young breakthrough strikers like Brero, Gally & Dolan for their teams of journeymen. Bolton have Rovers' rejects Delfonueso and Baptiste playing for them for god's sake. Wigan have been yo-yoing between the Championship and League One for years, their highest finish in the Championship since the 1st season has been 18th.

I feel nauseous watching this

We've had some awful performances in the past, but this is easily one of the worst.

What is actually going on?? This is absolutely shocking all around. Not having a sub ready for Gallagher and then finally replacing him with a LB is outrageous.

Gallagher off for a LB, 2-0 down.

Fuckn hell... 2 corners now have gone straight out of play. It's like we're playing football for the first time.

This is pretty abject. Losing every 50/50 at the moment.
