We've gone up a place to 15th so Tony will be celebrating that.

I think you may be right but that is the problem.

Douglas is utterly SHOCKING. Weak, cluess always going backwards and terrible delivery from set pieces. Branthaite is way of his depth and gives the ball away in dangerous positions. Looked a relegation shambles from start to finish. 

[Wovers]

If any of them bottom 3 go on some kind of run then we are seriously going to be in a relegation battle.

[Ewood Ace]

Absolutely pathetic for the third home game in a row we went in with some momentum but for the third game in a row at home we were second best in the second half.

Branthwatie and Douglas were both horrendous. Branthwaite wouldn't get a game for Carlisle and if he has any sort of a career at Everton then I would be absolutely amazed. Another clean sheet for Carter at Burton today, I'd much rather he was playing for us because at least if he was making mistakes then we would still benefit from him learning from them in the long term. Douglas is just a terrible player who thinks he's rather good, he reminds me of Bradley Orr. 

Rothwell was the stand out player for me the only player to show some urgency and drive us forward, so of course shortly after they went down to 10 he was taken off. It was a case of another game another role for Dack, the manager seems clueless as to where to play him and Dack seems confused as to what he is being asked to do. And that probably sums up the players as a whole they seem completely confused as to what the manager is asking them to do

this mowbray journey is worse than travelling to newquay in an austin allegro(which did happen!!)

[Mr. E]

Surely this is the final end, right? Surely he's gone in the morning?

Softies in Northern Scotland.

I said circa October 2019 that if Mowbray was our manager going into the 2020-2021 season that it would end with relegation...

[Hasta]

I'm glad Wednesday have 6 points deducted.

A health store with an annoying useless twat managing it.

[Wovers]

Scary thing is, if it wasn’t for sheff weds points deduction, we’d be just 6 points off the bottom 3z

He’ll leave us exactly where he found us given enough time I’ve no doubt about that. 

[Hoochie Bloochie Mama]

I didn't watch it but even Beetlejuce is upset. It can't have been good. 

[1864roverite]

The difference was this:

Coventry had a game plan and stuck to it.

Rovers had far better players but are managed by someone who has no idea, no plan a or b and does not know how to get the best out of his team.

Mowbray has gone stale you can easily see this from his body language.

Rovers have no idea how to move the ball around on a midden of a pitch!

No shots on target second half. Pathetic from us

The odd game early season aside, that's been a feature  of the last 18 months.

He was making such reckless decisions it had to translate to the pitch.

Not a chance. Who is going to sit down tonight and decide enough is enough.

The only person in a position to put forward to the owners that a change on manager is needed is Waggot, and do you honestly deep down think he will do it?

The only way I see  Mowbray leaving is If we get closer to the bottom 3 and he walks.

Rothwell was Jekyll and Hyde, first half great second he was non existant, he probably got to to stop the forward thinking shenanigans or he would not be on the Journey.  TM has me wondering if he is messing with us now, giving the fans the middle finger, shiwing us who is boss.  Get him fired.

It is getting to the point that we have got to hope there are 3 worse teams than us.

Looking at that table tonight, surely Mowbray must realise his position is untenable.

If he takes us down - to complete the "journey" - will he wait to be sacked so he can pickup compensation for the last year of his contract?
