“ Please be aware that due to a road traffic accident on the M65, the motorway is closed in both directions between J5 & J6 with no scheduled reopening time.

Please allow extra time for your journey to today's game vs Norwich City and consider alternative routes.”

Just received this via text from the Rovers . Apparently a lorry has gone through the central reservation .

Sorry meant to post it in the match thread !

Uninspiring lineup from TM.
I can see a defeat looming, with any one (or more) of 3 ex Rovers on The Canaries bench to rub salt in the wounds in the second half.

 

[Wilpshire Blue]

So, if away fans are all in the upper tier, why are a few spread around in the lower tier??

 

[Drog]

Ht 0-0
Neat and tidy Norwich with forwards that press opposing defenders much quicker than ours. It's called defending from the front and something TM might concentrate on instilling in our lot.

Apart from that Norwich are play acting for all they are worth to get our players cautioned. Our two central men Evans and Smallwood already yellowed and walking on eggshells.

2nd half and Williams on for mulgrew

 

[Drog]

A Williams special.... headed over from two yards out. Easier to score

 

[Drog]

Palmer and brereton for Evans and Armstrong and we have gone worse as a result. I have a feeling that Ben is Tm's love child!

 

[Drog]

0-1 nyambe looked at fault but the entire attack began with brereton giving possession away weakly with dg in the clear. I'm trying to be patient with brereton but it's fast running out! He's aboutbon a par with Nuttall

Ft.
Any blame can be laid squarely at tony Mowbrays feet imo

No idea

A draw might have been a fair result but only one team was likely to win and they weren’t wearing blue and white.
Nyambe dreadful yet again and I really hope and pray that we have a get-out clause in the Brereton agreement.
Norwich’s slick passing and well-worked attacks were a sharp contrast to our predominantly long, high ball approach and showed us how far we need to develop to even start to think about getting the top of this division.
A disappointing end to 2018 at Ewood but it’s been a great year overall.

Brereton.......7M pesos worth......which is about £1-75p.

As for Mowbray he needs to take a good look in the mirror. He seems to be unable to take us any further, our form is relegation form and I am starting to worry about our wimp performances.
