Just been reading on Twitter, a number of supporters are saying sell Armstrong, sell Brereton and build back.

one problem with that, Mowbray.  He hasn’t a clue about building a team even if he is allowed any funds to do it.   Mowbray must go!

If they run their core business in India the same way that they run Rovers, I can only conclude that it must be very easy to do business in India.

So the latest rumour is Brereton to Leeds.  No doubt many who post on here will be extremely happy but I for one will be extremely upset.  There has always been a footballer there, but was never handled right from the word go.  Shows what he can do when played in his correct position under a proper manager.

Mowbray is utterly useless and needs to go, NOW.

Just an observation.  Why would Yates come to us?  Sure we are a bigger club than Blackpool but at the moment we are a mess due to rank poor management both boardroom and football.  At Blackpool he is working under a first class manager who uses him excellently.  If he came here he is likely to be playing wing back.

Mowbray does not like Chapman.  Mowbray does not like Rothwell.  He does however like Johnson and Bennett.

I think I can feel a relegation coming on.

Youngsters will get their chance.  Defenders are coming.

Arrogant, small minded stupid old fart.

Mowbray go now. It doesn’t even matter what the result is.

Nastiest fans in football in my personal experience.

Not quite.  Chelsea, Leeds, Cardiff and Millwall just in front of them.

Problem here is Mowbray.  He doesn’t know what he wants.  Buys 2 big forwards and plays them out of position.  Everyone and his dog knows we need strengthening in defence but no we rely on loans.  Buys a winger, then refuses to play him.  Brings in a second choice keeper simply because he is a mate who would have been out of work otherwise, and we didn’t need him anyway.

Before any transfer activity, Mowbray needs to be replaced.

I'm led to believe that the game versus Derby will be on Friday night, kick off 6pm.

Shite:  just been called in for my COVID-19 vaccination at 18:10 on Friday.

By 18:15 I will have a sore arm and we will be 2 down.

What's a better use of time - paying £10 for another 90 minutes of agony or mowing the grass?

Gallagher on the wing again - mowing it is 

You have just talked me into it.  Off we go to the shed.

see you later.

My dad actually admitted to me today that he should've listened to me 2 years ago when I wanted Mowbray out - first time in almost 46 years!!

Wish Venky’s would listen to you Windy

Mowbray, Pasha and Waggott might just be locked in a room as we speak..................!

Mercer my friend.  I have always admired optimism.

Why am I not surprised?  More worryingly, why am I not upset?

This guy just cannot go on, it’s pitiful to watch.

In truth with TM i think most of those who want change have wanted it for a while and made their own minds up over the last 18 months.

The glass ceiling was hit with some force a long time ago.  However last summer and the unexpected backing he received allowed a bit of breathing space and presented him with his best opportunity to back up his talk.

He's failed miserably on all fronts sadly, so a few victories in end of season dead rubbers and more bold talk aren't going to alter much opinion. We know what we are dealing with now and expect bucket loads of the same, great backing or not.

In short nothing will change he is what he is but all this 'integrity' and the rest of it veneer is wearing very thin now. Only the most head in the sands or manager over club lovers will remain his staunchest allies. 

Good post and I agree, but IMO there are no dead rubbers as teams below us pick up momentum.  I think we will be relying on 3 teams to have less points than us and it will be too close for comfort.

Hoping it doesn’t come down to last match with big club because we will lose judging by their efforts and our efforts yesterday.

MOWBRAY MUST GO

Just watching Big club v Swansea hoping Big club get murdered but they are playing quite well.  What struck me is that they are obviously motivated and the body language coming from the dug out couldn’t have been more different from what I saw earlier at Wycombe.

Mowbray needs to go and now, or relegation is a certainty if not this year then next.

Back to watching Big club who by now I am expecting to be at least competitive.

7 points from the last 39.

Even Coyle had 10 points.

 

Bournemouth and Cardiff up next.

Coyle had 16 points from his last 15 games which makes both Must Win games for that reason alone.

 

If he doesn't go tonight then either Monday or next Saturday have to be his last games.

He needs to go tonight along with his assistant.  Johnson appointed as caretaker till end of season along with an assistant who will provide enthusiasm.  Players told, give it everything or your on your way.  Dare I suggest Bennett in this role.

Then assess at end of season?

New head of recruitment.

Who is on the Middlesbrough staff doing that role?  We needn’t look any further.

I see Chapman is getting rave reviews at Shrewsbury.

He is due back at the end of the season and could be a ready made replacement foe Elliott when he goes back to Liverpool. The lad just needed games.  However, fear not because Tony will have him playing left defence mid field then drop him because he is not good enough.

Who picks the team, Mowbray or Balaji ?

Think you are on the wrong horse here.  Think Mowbray has just basically lost it.

Awful display.  Don’t think we have won a second ball all half

We play a Mowbray weekend drinking game from his post match quotes. A double measure for each one of the following. Journey, frustrated, highlighting pointless stats like possession, we go again, the better side (in defeat), some reference about what might happen in the future, excuses-injury’s, officials, covid and working class.

Initially started including midweek games into the weekend tally but just couldn’t sup that much rum.

 

Bloody hell Matt.  How are your kidneys?

I'd be very careful about throwing big wages at Trybul but he hasn't looked like he's trying very hard sometimes. Definitely a capable replacement for Evans but needs to be a sensible deal so we don't get lumbered.

Don’t worry.  The boy done good.  It’s taken this long to get into the Tony way.

If you believe that you will believe anything.

Ladies and Gentlemen, prepare for relegation.

It’s the complete lack of pace in midfield that is the worry, or at least to me it is.  Just can’t see us getting the ball forward quickly enough to do any damage.  Of course Brereton will get the blame but the lad needs service and I still think there is a footballer in him.
