Many teams have exceeded in this league without the financial might that other teams have... Due to exceptional management. Tony Mowbray is a nice fella but by no means is he an exceptional manager at this level. If you can't see the points return from the last available 30 points and know that there needs to be a change then its just blind loyalty, pure ignorance or both.

Just watched Rothwell scream away from 2 Villa players like they didn't exist, Tony you are a complete imbecile.

Goal, Bell. Rebound from a Mulgrew free kick, which will no doubt ensure another start for a player who can kick a dead ball but do f*ck all else.

Hope he's not saying that because its more correct to say he has a plant based diet, veganism is not a diet, contrary to what people think. He should be nowhere near the first team anymore, along with Conway, Raya and Smallwood.

Poor team selection, poor man management resulting in poor morale and performances. I didn't expect us to get anything today to be honest but I've not seen any improvement from the the players and the manager. This one has run its course and the man needs to go or else we're going down.

Surprised I still have hair left when it comes to this topic. What on earth does the lad have to do to get a run of games? Every time he's played he's arguably been MOM and yet the next game he's straight back on the bench. What does that do to the lad's morale? Especially having to sit there whilst Conway and Bennett comically run around the pitch, not effecting the game. Does it show poor man management skills from our manager? I think so. Why sign him if he's not going to play him? Why critisise him after clearly being our best player against Wednesday? Can he not see that he's clearly the player with the most ability at Rovers? I see it like this, he's put together such a poor defense that he's too sh*t scared of playing more attacking players because they will give his awful back 4 less protection. To sum up, it's a complete waste of talent, not on the players behalf but on the managers because he doesn't have the ability to address our defensive issues. Combine that with blind favouritism and you have a sh*t show of poor team selection, poor performances and poor results. In my opinion the lad is one of the best naturally gifted footballers I've seen at Rovers for some time, the sort of player you should probably build a midfield around. Just goes to show that throwing obscene amounts of money around on players to get quality is not always the way to do it. It helps though, when you realise that you have unearthed a real gem of player that you have manager capable of seeing that talent and getting the best out of him rather than being useless on the bench. I wanted to keep this post on the topic of the player rather than the manager but when he's playing such an integral role in ruining a player of this quality's career it's simply too hard to ignore. Do us all a favour and play the man for christ sake. Your long ball, tepid, methodless football does not work in this league anymore and it won't work next season. Play some players in midfield who we can actually play through rather than miss out. I really don't know how this one is going to turn out but at the moment it's the manager I'd rather see leave than a player like Joe Rothwell. What's your thoughts on this one? I'm frustrated, p*ssed off and mostly confused by the manager.

Raya is clown shoes.

Does he do half time subs?

Just retire Mulgrew, bloody liability.

How is Conway playing ahead of Rothwell, just embarrassing. Conway dribbling out of his own half and falling over... After we all watched Rothwell beet man after man all afternoon against Sheff Wednesday. Really starting to get p*ssed off with him now.

1-0 down already. Good play from them, piss poor from us. Giving us the run around in midfield already. Bennett looks like a little boy on the pitch, back 4 are soft as shite, full backs.. as they have been all season... Are far too narrow. Probably because the centre halves are so shit but it just allows too many crosses in. Been saying it all season, same old issues that the manager seemingly doesn't have the ability to correct.

Rothwell on the bench, the bloke has lost the plot.

3-1 Villa. They'll walk over us like we don't exist.

Animal rights is a big issue these days due to the rise in veganism, therefore the media is just following current trends by covering more animal rights issues. I do always find it amazing that people get up in arms when a dog is killed like this despite the fact that pigs are asphyxiated and male chicks are ground up alive in macerators... Speciesism at its finest.

Was best player on the pitch for us against Brentford out wide. I somewhat agree though, I think the manager needs to use him more wisely, needs to pick his moments when to play him through the middle and when to put him out wide. Often he puts him out wide in the wrong situations when he would have been better bringing him on in the last 30 up top.

Disagree.

Really? The lad has had a pretty decent season on the whole and was unplayable not so long ago. There is tons of crap I'd get rid of before I'd consider selling Arma.

Or he is simply trying to create and make things happen. I've seen it before with Josh King. Bowyer wasted him away on the bench only for him to simply move to another club under a better manager and perform. I genuinely think he's just on another level of thinking than the rest of the players around him. Would TM accuse other more well known footballers at bigger clubs of being like "little kids" for expressing themselves? Why has he not said the same about Dack? That fella's first touch was bloody awful yesterday. Trying to beat the man before he'd even touched the ball. He's talking absolute cobblers.

What's his problem with Rothwell? The man hasn't a clue. Give the lad some credit for f*ck sake. You picked him, he was clearly the best man on the pitch. If everyone can see it and you can't then we have our answer about what type of players you want at this club. 11 Richie Smallwood's will get you no where Tony... Except straight to the dole queue.

No diresepct but that's a pretty old fashioned way of looking at the modern day player. Would you say the same of Kante, Coutinho, Bernardo/David Silva, Iniesta and Xavi?

He's been given the credit, he was given the time to get us back out of the league after overseeing us go down. That was then and this is now and unfortunately his decision making is beyond shocking. We all watch Joe Rothwell for 15 minutes a game every other week and can all see he's out best player... He watches him every bloody day and can't see it! If a manager like Jokanovic is available then you don't mess about. He's clearly a better manager than the one we have.

Some answers. Joe Rothwell should be playing, Raya, Bennett and Williams should be nowhere near the first team. Manager needs to go I think. If he doesn't then he needs to massively sort out the defence but I just don't think he has the skill set to address it.

F*ck off Dack... First touch has been shyte all bloody day man, earn your wage you silly prick.

Not under this manager.

What on earth am I watching? If this man doesn't seriously renovate the back 4 then he's just asking to be sacked.
