    One minute you're saying most of our players are crap; the next, you claim we should be challenging for the top six.
    What else?
    Well, suddenly Graham has become totally inept and useless.
    Same with Downing (who actually has impressive statistics for pass-completion, etc).
    Williams? He has had two poor games. Otherwise, he has looked very sound.
    And you are making the classic error of saying everything on the pitch is down to the manager. It makes no sense to say that Travis is being made to play "defensively". He is in central midfield. Once the game starts, he (like all the others) has to react to what is going on. He doesn't think, "Oh, I'll have to hang back, because the boss told me to"!!
    In the end, the manager carries the can, and I doubt that Mowbray can survive much longer, but your complete dismissal of anything connected with him is excessive and shameful.
    We are in midtable - not rooted to the bottom!
    We haven't won in over a month. We aren't scoring. We aren't keeping clean sheets. We aren't playing well. We aren't creating chances. We aren't really missing them.
    We aren't Mid table. We are 4 points from the bottom 4. Separated by 4 points. Utter rubbish Auks.
    And if you think that Danny Graham will be the answer then I give up.
    It makes no sense to tell Travis ti play defensively. That's the exact message TM gave him the other night. Then told him to push on in the 2nd half. Mowbray said so afterwards.

    And please stop putting words in my mouth. I thought at the start of the season we looked to have a good squad. And felt like many others, including everyone at Blackburn Rovers that a realistic aim would be to try and go for the play offs. That's exactly what TM and Waggott told Venkys a few weeks ago in Pune. They responded by saying they would back him again in Jan if we where around the play off places. And I've paid close attention to that story.
    I also was very vocal in the first game. And stated the areas of huge concern. You told me i was talking rubbish. And we wo8ld soon pick up and push on. We did, for a couple of games. And now it's getting worse by the week. And the issues I brought up vrs Charlton on game one ate all affecting us now.

    But yeah, every week I say we should be going up. Apart from I can't find anywhere where I've said that. I can find plenty of you telling me I'm wrong. And why I think we aren't pushing on. And you keep telling me how wrong I am. As week by week we drop futher down the table closer to the bottom 3. It's only 5 points now. Maybe only 2 after Sat
    But yeah, all going really well other than that.

    How many times???!!!!!!!!
    I'm not saying Danby Graham is inept now. I was saying this vrs Charlton. And pretty much every match he's played since. But your going to tell me he is playing well?
