  1. Credit to Mowbray this last week, he's effectively rotated the team to maximize points over the 3 game week. Fresh faces today made a difference.
  2. I genuinely do think he listened to fans and other people round him when he was on the brink a few weeks ago. (Not saying he reads this board). I'm not giving him unreserved credit yet when the only reason he played Graham, Nyambe, Rothwell and dropped Bennett, Gallagher etc was because his job was at risk- due to his own poor team selections. I'd still take a replacement, because on balance (transfers/ team selections/tactics) I think we can do better.
  3. Did he play on the left of Lennihan? Something Mowbray said he wouldn't do earlier in the season.
  4. Great to be moving in the right direction in the league, shame that it took 3 months of Mowbray tinkering to get to this point. If we have a solid Christmas, let's see what happens in January. Have lessons been learnt since the shambles of Jan/Summer windows last year?
  5. Chance for Brereton if he can do any better in the Armstrong role second half?
  6. Great news about the team! Let's play to OUR strengths, forget about tinkering about with it every week. COYB
  7. Yep hanging Nyambe out to dry with the expectation that Brentford will score a load
  8. Mowbray saying that people don't mention all the Brentford signings playing in their B-team (ie first team failures) is one of the least self aware comments I've seen for a while, when he's got Brereton, Samual, Chapman, Davenport running out for our U23s and others that should be joining them.
  9. Wasn’t that the game that Venkys had all their mates round to watch, Alladyce knew Kean was going to get him sacked anyway, so put out a crap team?
  10. He doesn’t make chances for other people either, which is his job on the wing.
  11. If we lost Dack we'd struggle, but at least we might see some strikers playing in the right positions, and GLADWIN could always step in to the No10 role
  12. After reading the Mowbray quotes earlier this week, I think it will be a split camp before too long. There will be those that will be dragged into the video booth to analyse every pass they misplaced: Travis, Rothwell, Downing (?), Nyambe, Johnson. Get dropped for one poor game or not tracking a player back. The other camp will be free to carry on in the team regardless, no pressure whatsoever on their starting place: Bennett, Armstrong, Gallagher, Williams.
  13. Tactics, formation and team really is a complete lottery. There's not even any attempt to hide it any more.
  14. In a normal world, JRC and maybe even Butterworth would be worthy of a first team chance on form for the U23s. But we know Mowbray doesn't work like that. The frustration is that he's so inconsistent. Last season Brereton was so bad in every game he played (including U23s I seem to remember) yet he gets chances in the first team. Why Chapman isn't treated the same I don't know, because at least he's shown some promise in the appearances he made in League One.
  15. Nyambe thrown under the bus yet again despite being a young lad playing out of position. Pathetic and cowardly from Mowbray. Don't think i've ever heard him criticise Bennett, Armstrong, Gallagher, Williams in the numerous games they have been poor.
  16. Would love to see Butterworth get a run of 5 games in place of Armstrong, wouldn't be surprised if he was a big improvement.
  17. In the LT, an insight in the overthinking from Mowbray that happens before every game. He's talking about number of passes Leeds make in the final third, and how we should pass first time to Armstrong/Gallagher etc. God forbid we play to our strengths and not just come up with a new game plan every week depending on who we're playing.
  18. Williams at LB according to Sharpe. Unbelievable if true.
  19. £48 for JW plus £10 for parking plus £7.50 for a pie and pint. Over £65 for that product is insane pricing.
  20. Team selection is basically a scan through who’s been on Dack’s Instagram for the week. Coincidence that you never see Rothwell or Nyambe on there?
  21. Yes you don’t always know whether signings are leaders or not. But it’s not rocket science that a 21 year old inexperienced kid on loan isn’t exactly going to come in and be a leader. He’s basically making Tosin a scapegoat for the poor run whilst Lennihan is out injured. This lad wouldn’t still be a Man City player if he wasn’t better than Lennihan. And if he’s not better then why the hell did we splash £1m on him. Time to go Tony.
  22. Off the pitch incident aside, Keogh is exactly the type of no-nonsense defender we should have signed in summer. Is he available now?
  23. I can’t see Mowbray being sacked. I think he’d be safe even if we got relegated. Him and Waggot will continue to go over to India with their PowerPoint presentation and the owners will turn a blind eye.
  24. I said it a few games back, there's no doubt we are in a relegation battle this season. A poor league one defence. Non scoring strikers and a manager tinkering with formation and tactics. All the ingredients are there. Mowbray needs to resign.
