Are you sure of this?As even going back as far as Mowbrays West Brom days he spoke of playing a possession game?And it was him repeatedly saying he wanted to change from knocking it long into Graham to a more possesion based game?

That’s obvious for anyone to see, but of course the fans matter very little in this project, so carry on regardless.

it`s not against the laws of the game to mix it up now and again,even the great liverpool sides of the 80`s and fergusons man utd went direct when it suited them,i feel like going to brockhall and shouting through a megaphone at the isolating idiot "your tactics are ****"

[WacoRover]

Is it over? Mighty Bradford, the football juggernaut, prevail? 

[dallydally]

What a pitiful result. Wonder if there's any chance of a season ticket refund

[OldEwoodBlue]

so our strongest available side just got stuffed 2-0 by a 4th division side.... looks like we are the deep shit this season.

[martonrover]

I would happily take Bradford’s manager over ours. Must have something about you if you can get a minnow like Morecambe promoted.

I wonder if there will be a run on renewals , before the claim your seat deadline ?

[JHRover]

Few pennies will be dropping over the next few days as to what a mess this club is in. 

 

[WacoRover]

Megadeth wasn’t there today, right?

so, as Tony returns, all is well 😆

Read my posts in the Tony Mowbray thread. From a senior coach at the Rovers. There’s possession for possessions sake and there’s a more direct approach, like Man City.

Not sure they will.  Management, that is top management in India, need to be aware of the situation.  Even if they are aware that we played and lost today, I can hear the excuse to them now, coming from an isolated house in Teeside.  Not me gov, I was isolating, if only I had been there.

Not a mess at all according to Chaddy on the transfer thread :S 

It definitely looks like a mess today. That’s pretty much our strongest line up.

Well apart from Travis, Brereton, Gallagher, Dolan. And when/if they return from injury, Wharton, JRC and Dack.

The result matches the shirt.

Not in Pune, the boardroom or in the managers office it won’t.

Plenty of possession; not a clue what to do with it. Where have we seen that before? And no doubt we’ll be seeing it another 40 odd times this season.

Never felt this flat as a Rovers fan going into a new season.

I’ve never done it before but at 8 to 1 the odds on us going down are very tempting.

Only a friendly but as others have said..I have a bad bad feeling about this season.

feel well be closer to L1 again come summer than the top.

A good pre season doesn’t always count for a lot but a bad pre season rarely ends well.

[1864roverite]

Prelude to a pitiful season ahead of you ask me. Maybe a seriously negative fan reaction at home v Swansea will make the penny drop.

God help us on Wednesday but then again a heavy defeat by Leeds will also help the Mowbray out campaign

[Gav]

The owners have been badly advised according to some posters on here, thankfully I can offer some good advice:

**** *** back under the rock and sell the club.
