Last week we lost and couldn’t watch efl on quest. This week I’m already in front of the telly COYB

While criticism of individual players for their performance in specific games is valid. The generic criticism of a player seems harsh . We are on 50 points with Gallagher playing the majority of those. Samuel plays one and its better and that is the answer. While it may or not be correct Samuels performance shouldn’t be a stick to beat another player for. Gallagher players in Mowbray selected position for him not to long ago that was Armstrong’s. Maybe sometimes the team is more important than the individual.

Those stats just show what a wide open league this is.

Sorry unfathomable reason still respect him

I deliberately avoided Mowbray because it is message board dynamite and causes immediate polarisation. I criticise him endlessly yet for some in fathomable reason still respect. Go figure

Trust me I’m has guilty has everyone else.

In summary we don’t like Bennett, bell,Gallagher, Walton , Johnston and Bremerton. Armstrong appears to be doing ok but the jury’s out because he may be in a purple patch. Rothwell is good when he doesn’t play but flatters to deceive when he does. We like tosin by virtue of the fact he plays for us but doesn’t belong to us. Nyambe was no good but now he’s ok and Travis is good along with lenihan who depending on your take is either worth £15 million or is bang average and worth £5 because tosin is making him look good. The under 23s who we wanted to be given more game time are now no good and need sending somewhere else to play football. Chapman who hasnt played should along with mols and Thompson the left back.

Bennett probably but to be fair as tomphil says he gives it everything and is sometimes a victim of his willingness to play anywhere for the team and Mowbray that attracts the criticism. Has an observation if he’d stuck to playing the position he’s suited to the criticism would have been less but that’s the value of hindsight.

I thought he looked good but he’s always injured and I don’t think we can cope with any more in the treatment room.

The best I can say on this is it’s attritional

In fact today in honour of our smoggie leader every pub I go in today I’m going to ask the price of a pint and when they say £3 .I’m going to say those are ridiculous numbers what about a quid I’m not being held to ransome. Let’s see how many pints I get

Let’s hope the failure to sign anyone is the trigger for the appearance of our under 23 players. Real ale in the Issac Wilson and the Resolution coupled with a 2 v1 win for the mighty blues.COYB

Why do people endless down play us like we are some little minnow trying hard to get by. We are more successful club historically than most if not all of the clubs in this league. I’m not going to go through a list because facts are facts. I will not downgrade my expectations. Will he take us up no but not for the reasons you give but because of a total lack of ambition. We are top of the current form league which suggests we can compete but that had to be built on but again like last season the opportunity will pass us by. Let me just repeat this we are not a small shit club lucky to be sat at the same table has the big boys we are equal if not better and pretending differently does not excuse management.

I completely agree but unfortunately we don’t cease opportunity and our actions in this window also show we don’t learn from our mistakes either ( see last season for details). We now enter the last 17 games thin on the ground without Dack and an injury away from the return of Mulgrew. So yes I feel mid table is were we will end because with an ounce of ambition we could do far better in a mediocre league.

Well although disappointed I think this is the best thing that has happened. We are destined for mid table full stop. Mowbray has wasted no more money on projects and bench warmers. We can use the under 23s and give them experience. hopefully in summer we can revamp the squad and have a new man at the helm with a bit of freedom to do this without being hindered by Mowbray signings.
