Backroom DE. Posted April 30, 2019 Backroom Share Posted April 30, 2019 Not ready to switch my vote yet, but could do if our summer business improves significantly on the last two windows. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree to a certain extent but I'd need more than signing players. We'd need to be playing in a more coherent, consistent manner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacknOry Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Keep with the more attacking lineups of late and the more fluid style of play and FINALLY correcting our defensive needs in the coming window (as well as a new LB, Gk, and striker) and he wins me back I'm kind of on the fence anyway - its a tough call when you consider the good he has done for this club. That run though and the loyalty to players that were hurting the team drove me crazy. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, at the supporters' meeting a couple of months back he made it clear he knew exactly what needed to be done. A huge summer ahead for TM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back to the TM that is endearing to fans. Some of his ramblings in the second half of the season were odd at best. Classics like Reed is not as good as Evans and Smallwood and is why he's not playing centrally spring to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldgregg86 Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Mowbray did come across well last night but so did bowyer and dare I say it coyle when they did there meetings. The old saying is the proof is in the pudding 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He obviously realised that he showed too much loyalty, but contrary to what some think, it's not easy to sort that in January. He didn't exactly say that they are better than Reed, it was more along the lines that they know how to play his system better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure id say he d got his "hammock out" at 47 pts but more maybe "found out" by the opposition that we d major defensive problems that TM was very reluctant to change (old guard etc etc ) Just as its easy to level that he was in his hammock in that 11 game disaster run you could argue he certainly wasn't in it when we upped our game/personnel to go and suddenly win 4 on the bounce .? Unless the opposition where then in their hammocks ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
47er Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 When it mattered we went on that dismal losing streak and were never going to recover. I was pleased we got those 4 wins but I'm disappointed we didn't go on with our earlier form. I don't hold with having 2 or 3 year plans for promotion, you go all out for it and grab any chances that come your way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO we really should have pushed the boat out for a couple of quality players In January and see where it took us, we were in great form at the time so you never know what could have happened, and at worst we would have had two quality players that we wouldn't have had to find this summer that had already integrated with the squad etc. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old saying is the proof is in the pudding Exactly. Talk is cheap (& easy). Turning words into successful actions won't be that simple. The recent upturn in form provides a little more hope that Mowbray can take us forward. All we can do is watch and hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To not do it because "things can go wrong" would lead to no one ever planning anything , in any field. The January window could definitely have been better. Not an easy time to sign players though. Can you think of any Championship teams who made what you would describe as a good signing in January? Mings at Villa comes to mind and possibly Mikel at Boro, both on enormous wages. The biggest mistake was letting Downing leave. Players are notoriously expensive in January. Your example above is the ideal outcome, we could also have spent 10 million and be stuck with a player, or players who aren't worth the money.

That club up the road made a number of sensible signings in January which helped to push them up the league while we went in the opposite direction. What was it, from 7 points ahead of them to 7 points behind them or something? Sure, they've faltered lately and finishing above them is all we have to aim for now. Even if the right players werent available or too expensive, we could have at least brought in a couple on loan - specifically at the back.
