Stoke losing 3-0 to Forest. Nice boost for Forest prior to playing us. Wouldn't be surprised to see Rowett get the sack soon.

Nonsense in many ways. On the first point, Mowbray obviously rates him enough to want to sign him. On the next paragraph, I read Travis saw his deal break down for unspecified reason. Where did you see that it was blocked? Perhaps Nutalls was, again didn't see that confirmed, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was. Finally, you are totally wrong on Ward. He went on loan in January, his deal wasn't up until the summer. You had a bit of a mare there

I think thats the reality really. We would have to play at least 2 from the top 6,more than likely in the semi and final. There is a reason teams from the championship don't win the competition. Actually, even the league Cup, when was the last time a team outside the top division won it? Cup runs are nice and can be exciting, but you are better off getting knocked out early when you are a club in our position. We simply cannot focus on more than one front.

Good idea if he did. If he is linked with a club, it's the first place the experts on the message board will look, just like we do

Pulis is a prick. He would stall a young lads career just to have a 5th choice for a position. Mowbray showed with Whittingham, Ward and Caddis, to name 3, that he is a decent man,who looks at the bigger picture outside of football. Players will respect him for it in the long run

Probably been discussed, but what in Gods name was Williams doing? Was he high??

Ya, very lazy from Sharpe. To be chattering about it without knowing what he is taking about. Not a good look

Odd one alright. Just what has Mowbray seen in him that has completely turned him off him?

I think tonight conceding a last minute goal to Premier league opposition after fighting back from 2-0 down is a different situation.

That was my initial reaction too, but in fairness if we won, we would be saying he did the right thing

Is he banned for 3 or 1 games? Could have done without that

So does that mean Williams and Lenihan are out for Saturday?

Could definitely do with more in January!

That's the benefit of having a guy who plays full back in center half, more comfortable/used to running out with it.

I'd say Palmer will start, I would just like Butterworth to get 45 min at least. I have heard he is a talented lad

Saw some interesting quotes from Mowbray today. He was talking about the number of games we are having every week and that when it comes to Christmas and beyond, the teams with the biggest budgets and squads come to the fore. Now in general he is right, but Cardiff got automatic last season with a pretty small squad. They were lucky with injuries in fairness. Now, I just wonder, is Tony planting seeds with Venkys to splash some cash in January. Sounds like it to me

Maybe, but Butterworth is our own player

Butterworth and Grayson are with the squad. Raya shared them singing initiation songs last night. I would like to see Butterworth get a start in Dacks position.

I think Bell may have played himself out the left back spot going off the written feedback...

Exactly, I hope some on here don't get tickets for riding their high horses too fast

Calm down lads, he's not OJ Simpson

You would probably get more replies if you asked a question or put forward an opinion in the OP

Ya, that was sound of Crouch, although if he was our player, I would prefer him to be a bit more annoyed with missing the chance! Apparently the Stoke fans were booing when he was coming on. Not sure what that was about

Beauty

Good shout. I am not saying Conway should start, but in these situations, up to now at least, he has. I would pretty much agree with your team, but I doubt very much Davenport is ready to start and doubt he will. I think this will be the team that Mowbray will start Raya Nyambe Downing Rodwell Bell Reed Travis Conway Palmer Rothwell Brereton
