I reckon this is mowbray’s next justification of himself. For that for all we’re not winning games we’re mostly only losing narrowly. So really narrow defeats are as good as wins especially when we win the moral battle of pointless possession. 

Oh yeah, he's thrown this one out already. You know someone's utterly useless when this kind of excuse comes out.

Hopefully Dolan has ignored everything Mowbray and Venus have said to him since he's been at the club, and he still has a bit of joie de vivre about his play. 

any individual flair will be noted as a being a flighty winger and you will be sent to a  corner of brockhall with harry chapman(who managed to escape)

[roversfan99]

Totally bizarre team, especially if it genuinely is Dolan down the middle.

Very strange choice of a midfield 2 aswell, and right back.

 

[Fraserkirky]

Should be: 

Dack Trybull Buckley 

Gallagher Brereton Dolan

Think Breo scores today, I’ve backed him. Has the 4-3-3 ever worked without Rothwell?

He really has been Mowbrayed that lad.

Just a shame that while Armstrong is out he has picked a team (deliberately?) not to shine in his absence.

Mowbray appears to care more about young Adam than BRFC.

[RoverDom]

If it is Dolan up front and Gallagher on the wing that has to be up there with the biggest joke in football?

Dack should be behind Brereton looking to pickup the knockdowns. Dack's wasted in a 433

[Mercer]

Wow - what a team selection.

Think this is a selection Mowbray could perhaps hope hastens his departure.

Sods law, we'll go and win.  Therefore, I've gone £25 on Rovers at 11/5 after a nice early win on the nags.

Hes picked a bizarre team, and needs sacking anyway. But picking a team in Armstrongs absence to go out and fail purposely is one of the most laughable conspiracies ever seen on here.

Maybe General Melchett Mowbray has been speaking to one of his underlings and its a cunning plan 

[New Jeru]

Can we just give up?

Do we have to keep going through the motions twice a week?

aye,should 4/4/2 with dack behind the main striker and dropping back into midfield when needed,it`s a simple game but don`t tell tony that!!!!!

[Paul Mellelieu]

Feels like the last days of Souness, selection-wise.  No doubt we will win.

[Darrenbot]

With his interview yesterday to the selection today he's definitely gone completely mad,i expect him to watch the whole game from the dugout  with a pair of Yfronts on his head and pencils stuck out of his nose.

[Ulrich]

Dolan as a striker? Gally out wide? What odds Gally crosses for Dolan to head the winner?

Can't believe he is doing that. I will wait for someone to confirm it on ifollow as surely even TM is not that dumb.....

Millwall are over evens to win the game. May as well make some money on this. 

I got 7/1 for 1-0 Millwall, seems generous. 

If only I could put money on who would be the best 'performance based' team every week I'd be a millionaire

Mowbray watching the game

Breaking that line up down. 

JRC straight back in after 4 months out. Millwall are going to be physical. Not a time or position for him to come back in

Dack does not work in a 3. He has to be in and around the opposition penalty area. 

Buckley randomly starting against Millwall. The absolute last player I'd be throwing in. 

Dolan simply can't be central. The only justification for Gallagher and Brereton playing where they play is Arma scores. If this is how he lines up then I just don't understand.

It looks like he's just randomly made changes and lobbed different players into his system. It does not occur that maybe the system is the major issue. It's one of the worst line ups I've seen. I'm really panicking we are on our way down.

[RevidgeBlue]

You put your right back in

your right back out

You do the Tony Cokey and you shake 'em all about

You do the Tony Cokey and you swap em all around

That's what it's all about

Nyambe out!

[Mr. E]

To the people who think there would be any hope left if/when we sell Arma in the summer - welcome to your line-up without him. 

[RTM08]

We need to get rid of the clown ASAP. After all the whining the other week about people pushing him to play players who weren't fit he throws Gallagher and JRC straight in for Millwall away?

Out of interest have we won a single game with the "winger as a false 9" formation he keeps trying? Even Barcelona don't play that formation anymore and they're the only team on the planet who has a player good enough to be pulled into that role. 

Completely bonkers, I'm incredibly tempted to throw a fiver on us going down just to soften the blow when the inevitable happens. 

[Al]

What is it with Nyambe. Has he been with Tony's wife.

Some of us have already for that reason. Took it at 100/1 but was 66 last I saw

This team selection has to be Tony begging to be sacked for the pay off.

No other possible explanation.

 

Nothing he can possibly do selection wise to try and get the sack could possibly ever top hooking Nyambe, putting a CF in his place, then hooking him after 10 mins and putting yet another player ( a CB) out of position there.

But yes, I agree it seems from his recent interviews he wants paying off and judging by the latest pre match interview he has completely lost interest and isn't afraid of showing it.
