It’s good to know that Buckley is being recognized as a talent. It Rovers have any current player on the books good enough for the prem, he is one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players moving? No problem, always the way, indeed Waggott has been talking about players contracts, agents etc for months to fans - however, saying a long serving manager is about to get sacked after just delivering a big win? Not sure JW would be saying that at 5.15pm to whoever was listening in the suites… Edited November 7, 2021 by Mattyblue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armchair supporter supremo Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 (edited) unless there's premiere league clubs after them then I'm pretty sure our best players would be more than happy to stick around for at least another season if we offered them good contracts and put a manager in charge that they really get off on.

Another potentially good one missed. Cue Gav to say everyone said the same about Warnock when he first went to Boro and Hughton! Personally I'd rather take the gamble and TRY to be more successful rather than sit there doing nothing because we happened to win the last game. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogerb Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Plenty of barmy army chants yesterday but TM blue and white army didn't seem to have a rendition. At the end in injury time there was a brief up the football league we go but by the time it got to mowbray is our king it had been drowned out by something else.

oldjamfan1 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 2 hours ago, Gav said: I was talking to a Boro fan last night. He told a story about a supporters Q&A where a young lad around 10/12yrs old asked Mowbray why he wasn't playing xxxx player and Mowbray explained he was a good player but didn't fit the formation, the lad was gutted. After the event was over Mowbray spent 30 minutes with the salt and pepper pots explain the formation and why xxxx didn't fit in, which I thought was a great story, a nice touch. Hang on, I thought Mowbray didn’t believe in formations 😉😂 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

History tells us Mowbray will go on a death spiral in the not too distant future, and then the season will be over.

Popular Post Mercer Posted November 7, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 7, 2021 Think some get too hung up about our ownership saying nothing will change whilst Venky's remain in situ. The key question for me is would a new manager get a better tune out of the players currently at Mowbray's disposal and would those players uncertain of committing their future to Rovers be more inclined to stay under the direction of a manager with a clear plan, ambition and who doesn't hang them out to dry (which IMO Mowbray does -it's never his fault). The answer to me is Yes and Yes. We are 7th in the league and have a much better opportunity of selling the club to a new manager than if we were rooted to the bottom of the table. The time for change is now and long overdue. Yesterday's result is irrelevant. What is relevant is Mowbray's 5 years in charge and, IMO, the undefined journey in his football maze of a mind. I think we know another Mowbray death spiral is never far away and who can ever forget last seasons abysmal 2 wins in 17 games. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on Gav, get real. You and I both strongly agree that our owners are an issue. However, that does not change the persona, ambition, drive, tactical awareness, relationship with supporters etc of the manager who is in charge at any point in time. IMO, anyone who thinks Mowbray IS NOT an issue is a fool. Edited November 7, 2021 by Mercer 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, anyone who think Mowbray IS NOT an issue is a fool. We’ve had 8 managers in 10yrs, it’s a strategy that clearly works….. I won’t call anyone a fool, it’s all a matter of opinion, but as I keep saying, changing managers won’t change our current situation for the better, but equally I wouldn’t lose any sleep over the club sacking Mowbray. It’s all about the long game for me, that’s getting rid of these inept and incompetent owners. Edited November 7, 2021 by Gav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
