Agreed. Has there been a massive fallout? 

[Exiled_Rover]

I've officially joined the Mowbray Out Brigade.

Nyambe spending more time up front than at RB, Evans and Smallwood pulling on a Rovers shirt ever, Buckley getting brushed off the ball, Graham on the LW - it's a comedy.

As for Brereton, unfortunately I don't think he has what it takes. I've willed him to come good, but he continuously let's himself down.

[Pedro]

Is Chapman playing tonight?

I agree 100%

Mowbray himself had noticeably changed, he looks a stressed, disheveled mess at the moment. He seems snappy and quite frankly rude in some interviews. 

Man under pressure maybe? Or man who's stressed up to the eyeballs and on the verge of losing it?

Seriously Graham at LW? Christ.

I am totally ranked off I was going to says its wank but a wank can come in handy at times

It’s exactly like a wank only we’ve had the good bit now it’s just trying to clean up the mess with a constant felling of shame and embarrassment

No, played for Under 23s last night!

For anyone lamenting Nyambe being out well tonight he is as poor as Smallwood and that’s bad

 

He's done nothing wrong. He's not lining up next to Graham and Brereton when we have the ball of his own accord.

Mental tactics.

[1864roverite]

Can’t see him from my seat but i agree with the observations something is amiss at the club this is not the Rovers we have seen over the majority of the past 2 seasons

For so long Graham was the one striker we had who had avoided being shunted out to the wing. Now he too has fallen. Tragic.

In the bench

[CambridgeRover]

The whole club, team and manager has the all too familiar stench around it. No communication, no passion, no effort. Mowbray head down, looking depressed. 

[jim mk2]

Everyone is confused over what Mowbray is trying to do so I'm sure the players are confused.  

I've no doubt that were Mowbray to be sacked this week, results would improve.

Sheff Wed are doing very well without a manager

He didn’t, he’s on the bench tonight

Done nothing wrong apart from stand still like a concrete statue right backs are supposed to fly forward and create a bit like Hird Price Bailey and the like instead the great lummox stands still like like the statues of Greek mythology he has pace to burn but doesn’t use it

Thanks.  That seems daft.

Again perhaps these words should be direct at Mowbray. I am sure Nyambe knows what he is good at

Managers under pressure tend to get tunnel vision, become stubborn and continue to make the same mistakes even though they are blindingly obvious to everybody else. They stop using common sense and plough ahead, usually over a cliff to their doom. A fresh pair of eyes would be able to easily locate a fair few major issues and get them sorted relatively quickly. Our squad isn't so bad that nobody could help, like Ipswich last season, so I'm sure an upturn in form would follow. It may not last but it would be better than what we're seeing now, as Mowbray is steering Rovers off the ledge and has lost control of the vehicle.

Not sure whether I have a foot in the Mowbray out camp yet but if this continues tonight I am sure my left foot will be. Summary poor players graham Brereton Smallwood nyambe evans Cunningham liuetwieler  that’s 7/11! Needs a huge improvement just not sure where it is coming from 

[Oldgregg86]

Boro 2 down against Crewe. Battle of the clueless geordies (if that’s offensive to people from Middlesbrough, good) Saturday 

[AllRoverAsia]

I think we will win. There Ive said it.

[Theaxe15]

Do we think TM has lost the players? This has the feeling of a team that doesn't want to play for their manager anymore. Defeat against a poor Boro team on Saturday and you wonder if something might happen

Football is not rocket science it’s pass and move it’s as simple as that. He just stands still gives himself no chance of getting forward and is always chasing back because of poor positioning
