Mowbray, whether people like him or not, is at least twice the manager / coach that Ismael is. I would have him back for the rest of the season in a heartbeat. At any other club, Ismael would be under intense pressure.

I'm talking about prestige history. They're old, great. They got in Europe by winning the prestigious Welsh Cup, oooh. They've never even been in the top flight and barely been in this one. Compared to Blackburn Rovers, they're a chihuahua next to a husky, historically speaking. That's the point I was making. I'm actually pleased for their underdog story and watch their documentary. I'm not knocking what they've done or trying to diss them, I'm pointing out they had precisely zero natural advantages over us. Shitter ground, shitter history, smaller fanbase, worse facilities, lesser finances even after their owners came in. Yet they've managed to jump from 3 leagues below us in a fraction of the time we have gone from Prem to League One and then treaded water in the Championship with zero playoff appearances. And that it's all because of one thing - better owners who let football people run the club, back those people, and only intervene when it's useful.

Rudy couldn’t pick his nose let alone a player. This window will do nothing but cement our relegation to league one.

Some thoughts. They have a dodgy keeper who has made a couple of bad mistakes in recent matches and we failed to get a shot on target at home. Our first choice keeper was sat on the bench whilst we were seemingly just waiting for Pears to mess up so that he can be replaced in the next match. Seeing as we have no goals in the team, a solid keeper is essential and we actually have one sat on the bench!! The team is so weak and there is nobody on the bench who can come on and change things. There was basically no way back once the first goal went in. Realistically we need 5 decent experienced signings across multiple areas of the pitch to actually be competitive. We won't spend enough money to do that and I doubt any decent players would want to join....if any prospective signings were at the match today I suspect they left at half time. Without the signings we are going to be relying on 3 other teams being worse than us and us managing to scrape together a few scrappy draws and lucky wins. 2026 is going to be another good one folks. .

It should say VENKYS OUT, but at least it’s some form of protest, good effort.

Yes. Nothing. A good manager wouldn’t entertain him.

This is a massive thing for me to say but get Tony Mowbray on the phone asap. Ismael has tried his best with the crap hes been given but his flaws are obvious now and it's time for something a bit more solid.

This club keeps dropping to new depths. Absolutely woeful, shameful and embarassing performance. One of the biggest things to show how desperate we are is the suggestion that we need to put Gueye back in the squad. That anyone is even suggesting that such a clown could improve us shows how bad things are. We need to totally gut this squad and it wont happen. Miller and McLaughlin were both terrible. A proper defender was outstanding at the other end. We do need a left wing back. Baradji looks like another dud. Cantwell was awful. Ohashi again rubbish, not a very good player. Henriksson I think has won a competition to play.

Only part of the bigger problem but definitely taking us down..awful Manager with an awful record.

Sometimes you can accept getting beat by a better side , which they were. What you can't accept is being outfought, outrun and worse I'm all the basic football "givens" There have been some dire performance at home this season but that was as bad as it gets. Going to need to go back to a back 4 on Monday as no option with no wing backs available.

Not wanting to have a go, but have you only just sussed that out?

Get this clown gone spend some money urgently how we have so many hamstrings seemingly go is incredible.. It’s clear they’re freezing Gueye out but surely he offers more than Henrikson and another option leaving changes til 80th minute to bring Dlamini on not good enough when chasing a game AT HOME

5-3-2 and with 10 mins to go the 2 'attacking' midfielders in that formation were trading passes in our own half. How are you supposed to play forward when your slow wing backs are marked out wide and there are 2 cb and 2 dm blocking all space for the front 2. Surely your cb or holding midfielder has to be brave enough to bring the ball out and get the midfielders up the pitch. Tactically inept from a clueless manager, under a clueless hierarchy and clueless owners. It's a shame there are still some clueless fans defending this shit.

Roll on May when this lot can’t ruin any more days for me.

To give Baradji a little bit of credit I thought he was the only one who at least looked like he was trying to make something happen. Albeit without a great deal of success.

Tell you what ladies and gents, we are in big fucking trouble!

Coyle's team would've battered us today. Sure, that team had no defence but it could attack well - now we don't attack at all and can sometimes defend if we put 2/3rds of our team in a defensive position.

Blaming fatigue and lack of depth on SS. ‘Much better’ second half. So no need to worry, guys and girls. Onwards and upwards.

He is crap but he is not worse than Kean or Coyle.

To be fair he’s implied he thinks the manager got it wrong with selection today

No mention of the owners, backroom staff, coach, Chaddy ? It matters not which day “we roll “onto ..nothing will change with this abominable setup . Cant believe to can’t see that …but, hey ho.

Gone from players like Travis, Wharton, Rothwell, Ayari - even Buckley and JRC to the likes of Tavares, Baradji, Foreshaw and Cantwell. Cantwells not fit to lace Rothwells boots- shit!

Millers a committed defender and been significant part of our quite good defensive record. But on the ball he is a total liability. I cant fathom why we put him at RWB.

Worst manager I can remember since Jim Iley. Thought it from the minute he arrived. At least we played some entertaining football at times under the likes of Coyle, Ince and he who shall not be named. Not the absolute bilge we get served up under this fellow. At any normal Club should be gone by tonight. Here however.....................

On his day hes very good imo, but with injuries and his mood those days can be far apart, and not someone you want when things are going against you. And he's on double the money that anyone else is on.
