Lay Off Gary Bowyer!!

 My name is Michael, Blackburn Rovers keen supporter and I'm just getting into this blogging lark.  See below for my first blog entry and let me know what you think.... if you think that I'm talking tripe then let me know! All (clean) feedback welcome!

Ok, I know performances have not been good, tactics have been tooooo defensive, and the defence has had more holes in it than Swiss cheese, but it really is time to lay off Gary Bowyer.  Let's remember that he has had to sort out the choas that Steve Kean and a succession of disastrous management appointments have created.  Lets remember too, that we were heading for Divison One faster than green grass through a goose!  We need to show a bit of loyalty!!

Ok, I understand that we have got used to be certain standard of football but we have to remember that we have a young team who are still learning and the recent booing for sub par performances is just not acceptable.  As, fans we need to be supporting the team once we are in the stadium.  Fair enough, if you are thoughly naffed off with a performance, go back to the pub afterwards and have a good gripe and moan.  But we will never have the ground as Fortress Ewood again if we can't get everyone onside while the players are playing!  So my advice is that the next time someone starts booing near where you are sitting is tell them to shut up!  We have to realize that the days of Steve Kean et al are past and we need to all start pulling together.

Gary Bowyer is a good man and a good coach.  The tactics recently against Stoke and Liverpool are proof of that.  The way he used the pace of  King against a nervous, slow Stoke defence and the way he used the height of Gestede against Liverpool were spot on.  He is still quite a new manager and still learning his trade so let's give him a bit of time.  Let's face it anyway with debts of £80 million it is not as though we are going to have a queue of world class managers ready to take over!

Anyway enough of me gassing, lets hope that the lads can endorse what I'm saying tonight (Wednesday) when it is Blackburn Rovers vs Bolton Wanderers at Ewood 19:45 KO.  We need to get revenge for the earlier loss at the Macron Stadium when Blackburn Rovers completely outplayed Wanderers only for them to hit us with a sucker punch.

Wait for my full review of the game in my next update....
