Coil averaged 1 point per game. After the last three games we would have to lose the next four on the trot to be as bad as coil. Coil was a disgrace. 

So far at least Mowbray seems to be a football manager which coil was not. Let's hope he keeps it going.

Of course every manager is judged by results and that is what ultimately we will judge Tony Mowbray.   Have to say though after hearing the claptrap that Owen Coyle has come out with from day one it is refreshing to hear Mowbray.  I liked what I heard and now it fingers crossed that he can get some results. 

 

Coyle should have been sacked weeks ago but it is yet another failing of those running the club and now it leaves Mowbray in a position where he is very little room for error.  I think 6 wins will be enough to keep us up. 

 

Agree the most refreshing thing was just listening to him and not having to listen to captain spout, good job coil put a 'platform' in place so we can go and get those six wins

An article worth reading (apologies if it's already been posted).

Good read. You could switch coventry for rovers and reprint it ☺. Let's see what he says.

Maybe he can persuade Venkys to @#/? off then

Sadly it looks like they are going nowhere.

Can anyone imagine coil or kean coming out with this:

"The table doesn't lie," Mowbray, 52, told BBC Sport, following Wednesday's 2-2 home draw with AFC Wimbledon, which proved his final game in charge.

"It's embarrassing to go 10 games without a win. I'm an honourable guy."

Mowbray, who had City at the top of the table just 10 months ago, told BBC Coventry & Warwickshire: "I won't be a burden to this club. I know this club needs every penny.

"I see some shoots of hope. The players work extremely hard, but it's a man's game," added the Yorkshireman. "They're babies in a man's league.

"I probably let them down by not getting in the big 6ft 4in centre-half we were after, who could have been a man and help us keep clean sheets.

It seems that I am in the minority here but I think under the catastrophic circumstances our club are in, this is not too bad an appointment.

I think it gives us a better chance of surviving than we had a couple of days ago. Even if Mowbray gets an initial response and positive results for the next few games, that may be enough to save us.

A good guy and hope he proves his doubters wrong.

Just pleased I won't have to listen to motormouth babbling on anymore.

This is the conculsion I am coming to.

Thanks for that. He seems to be liked where ever he has been and it is good to read other fans understanding we have crazy owners.

General consensus seems to be decent bloke, not much of a football manager. So basically Bowyer Mk II, but with a much worse squad. 

That sounds alright for now. I really hated coil, I could not look at his face or listen to him, the fact he was rovers manager really got to me . At least this guy seems decent.

He was a defender - Rovers defence needs sorting out.

He brought Marvin Emes into the Boro squad.

He is not Kean, Not coyle.

One of a few idiots willing to work under those ruining the club.

Having Dunn in the management team, hopefully will be good for both Rovers and Dunn.

 

 

 

Thanks. We were going down with coil so let's see.

Any positives at all, 'he's not Kean'? Come on there must be someone that can tell us something good about him.

That table makes grim reading this morning. Too many have acted and will see dead cat bounce and too many 'big' clubs above us. Not a whisper about coyle seems like we are on kean mark 2. At this point we are going down 100%. Crying shame.

You may have an email for pre sale 'sale'. I just got two tickets, can't wait. Would make in better if the V's have gone by then.

Roses damn good on sat. Met folks from Sweden, Dublin, Belfast, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Newcastle, Leeds, Notts, Leics, Derby, London, Bristol, Brum. Hope its not another 27 years.

I was there, it was superb everyone going mad singing.

Hello,

Life long fan that lived in the area until 2000.

Season ticket from 1987 until 2003.

I plan my trips back to the UK around rovers games.

Taking son to first ever game against Forest next week, wish me luck.

Thanks Ian
