its a pity TM did not have faith in Rankin Castello the other night we all know what Bennett brings to the party,not very much.

I was surprised by that Waggy. Everyone expected R-C to be coming on but our hopes were dashed when TM played his pal.

Personally given the injury to Rothwell and us in the lead I'd have put Johnson on next to Trav and shoved Downing out wide left. Least disruption all round.
However we mustn't crib when TM brings home the bacon must we?

 

[Old Darwen Blue]

I suspect JRC will become a regular in the first team squad now, we have got some promising young players coming through now.

'Quite simple' - Mowbray explains Rovers captaincy situation

Tony Mowbray says the captaincy situation at the club is ‘pretty clear’ despite the return of Charlie Mulgrew.

Nothing like knowing the lads personally and seeing their interactions with their teammates but am I the only one to see Captain potential in Travis? Such a strong influence in the middle and constantly verbal to the other players around him.

3 years today since TM was appointed. Not been a bad three years overall have they?

It's been FUN again - ups and downs but it's reignited the love affair that the previous 4 years had killed off

We need to spread the word. Glory hunters have all dropped off and the club needs some of em back.

I am really hoping there’s a good take up on the six match deal.

Particularly impressed in the way TM’s Rovers have improved defensively. I felt the defence of last year would have crumbled against an impressive Brentford yesterday . Tosin is a big improvement on Williams and/or Mulgrew , Lenihan is maturing although his distribution could be better and Nyambe has been a revelation this season ( always thought he had the basics to make a good full back ) . Left full back is up for grabs but I think Bell hasn’t done himself any harm recently . Walton did well yesterday and seems to be establishing himself as a competent and reliable stopper . A defence always performs better if it has a ‘solid’ keeper . Raya made a decent save from Armstrong late on , but the hash he made in challenging Buckley for the penalty , convinced me TM was right to off load him . I also think the emerging impressive Travis helps the defensive stability .

At this stage of the season my assessment of TM is performing well above my expectations.

I have always been liking him more as time goes by. If he is here for another 3 years i will be happy and i am sure we will be doing well. I always rated him in his previous jobs. Carry on in the same way i say.

 

[Smells Like Kean Spirit]

Always liked the way Mowbray conducted himself in interviews before he came here, and I haven't seen too much to make me change my mind. His old school attitude, combined with an innovative (perhaps too theoretical at times) approach to how the game should be played, is a breath of fresh air after the chancers and dollopers we've had to put up with since Pune posse fired Allardyce.

 

[Barmitzvah Boy]

TM is also a gentleman; we could do with more of those in today’s World.

If ever TM gets the flick, here's the guy I'd like to give a chance to:

He's as honest as the day is long, and when he gets to his objective, he's likely to up and leave.
Conversely, he knows when it's time to go on the wrong end.

[Old Darwen Blue]

I thought Roy Keane was getting the job?

 

[Drog]

Crikey ODB.... Would you hire Roy Keane after his managerial record?

 

[Old Darwen Blue]

No probably not but I thought he was nailed on to get the job though.

I heard Stewart Downing on Radio Lancs on Monday evening.

He was very critical of Mowbray.
