You can ignore the reason behind this (a manager who has lost his way) all you want but it's still there.

Curse of the Manager of the Month award.

[Bigdoggsteel]

At least Wigan are losing 1-0 to 10 man Ipswich 

Sheffield Wednesday winning 3-0. Does anyone remember our biggest win under Mowbray? It was against Carlisle. Every fucking league game is a slog 

[skous18]

Okay, this ref is bloody pathetic!!! I am getting irritated now

We know what you think.  You've told us 26 times in two weeks.

What the feck do you expect from fans when our performances and results are bombing?

Perhaps you think we should extend Mowbray's contract again in order to give him a confidence boost!?

[West Yorks Rover]

As it stands we're now in 17th, dropping like a stone.

[Tugay's Right Foot]

Strange freekick. Mulgrew was still strolling into the box with his back to play and Smallwood took the freekick. Came to nought

[G Somerset Rover]

Another shitter of a half. Sort it out Mowbray FFS.

From on the verge of the playoffs to wondering how we'll even stay up this season based on our form. The manager of the month award is pretty much a one-way ticket straight to hell.

Roughly where we should be with our current team and manager if we are being brutally honest. Still think we've got further to fall, unfortunately. 

[yellowsubmarine]

HT. Horrid first half 25 mins or so from Rovers. Got slightly better after that and sustained pressure on Burm for a period of time, had chances for an equaliser. But still look suspect when defending. If we can't defend, we might as well try to score a few.

If we keep dropping like this it will make it even more difficult for Mowbray to deliver this revolution during the summer. 

I'd say Dack is sick of it now 

[Exiled in Toronto]

Another ludicrous goal: Mulgrew shouldn’t have given it to Bell, Bell fooked up then Mulgrew defended like a girl, turning his back on the shooter. Got back into it but usual story of half chances rather than goal chances.

1-1

1-1?

[Mercer]

We all know football is a funny old game.  Whilst it remains 1-0, anything can happen.  If Brum get an early 2nd then this we could end up with a real spanking.

A friend who is at the match and sees all matters Rovers through the bluest of eyes has texted to say even his 'I've had enough threshhold' has been broken this afternoon!

[Neal]

Well... If there is a positive from these recent performances and results its that it plainly shows the manager how much quality is lacking to match his ambitions. I hope these results are a big reality check for the manager that whilst he's discussing being promoted he shouldn't lose sight of the fact that we don't just need to invest to challenge for promotion but to make sure that we don't go back down... Failing to bring in quality in the summer would see us be one of the favourites for relegation, this crop of players (as the manager has alluded to tbf) are simply not of the standard required. For all the stick people are giving Dack and questioning selling him, many of the players around him are simply not on his level of thinking most of the time. 

[CrouchingNunhiddenCucumber]

This run was inevitable at some point and I'd hoped Mowbray had the nouse/experience to turn it around. Today isn't going to be the day though apparently, trying to pretend I'm apathetic but in truth I'm fuming.

Considering our form for three of the last four months I imagine he'll have one eye on the exit door by now. He won't want to have to put up with a relegation scrap next season. 

[Blue blood]

What gets me is that we seem to have decent players but don't create much and aren't that solid defensively. Something not adding up. 

Really sounds like Mulgrew is finished and with Lenihen out as well that new CB we didn't buy is looking a really big error. 

[Tom Stinny]

I'm sick and tired of professional football players being allowed to put in performances that are shit without consequences. 

 

Should be written into every players contract that if you perform below 60% then your wage is withheld for that week.

 

When Derrick fucking Williams earns more in a week than some people do in a year it is taking the piss and makes a mockery of football.

 

No pride in these players you can get beat by a better team and some of the players are playing a level above what they are capable of but at least give it a go. Try and impose yourself on the game in some way or another.

 

Fuck what the manager says and does. He should be on a contract of 2 years to say earn your next one. He's got his big deal and has failed ever since.

 

The only people who suffer are the supporters of the club. Said back in January that this season was the time to go for it as next season will go downhill quickly and that any of our half decent players will not be here.

 

As for the few who still back this manager to adapt and improve or think Dack and Reed will be here next season get real and see what's happening. Bowyer MK2.

This won't be popular but I think Mulgrew is windy. He strikes me as someone who won't put their head in the way to save a goal. When you look at the likes of Moran, Hendry, Todd, Short and Samba, he doesn't have their bravery. 

I just wonder is he at the stage in his career where he thinks fuck it

Think Bowyer bottled it in the end with his cautiousness and tactics but he did make some very good signings (whoever was scouting with him <maybe his dad>) did a feckin good job.  Bowyer's recruitment was head and shoulders ahead of Mowbray's.

"Derrick fucking Williams" really tickled me, first time I've smiled in relation of anything to do with Rovers for weeks, well done sir.

Some players almost 'go' or 'lose it' overnight.  Very worrying signs with Mulgrew.

Indeed, but he couldn't bloody use them properly! King and Cairney in particular. 

[Husky]

Big club are poor.

Though one wonders if that first half was our good or bad one.

This game is still there for the taking, especially if they try and keep the 1-0.
