Unfortunately nobody has a scooby doo

It's very obvious he doesn't have a clue and even when we won under him, he would upet the cart with his stupid tinkering It's gas cos it's exactly what Boro and Coventry fans said he does He's incapable of changing his ways. That's why this will be his last championship job I reckon

Is this on sky? Don't feel like forking out for Ifollow

Still doesn't have the slightest idea of his best 11

We are a very long way from that now

Must be something in him that wants to show he's a purist, even though he was a bread and butter centre half. Which there is absolutely nothing wrong with being Very good documentary. Sad at times, but beautiful. That was the golden age of Irish football really. The long ball game, put em under pressure. They could play other ways too, but that was effective at the time. Most players were at the top English clubs then. Paul McGrath, David O'Leary, Mick McCarthy and Kevin Moran were the centre halves at the time. McGrath and O'Leary could play, but the other 2 were the no nonsense guys. Jack's a legend. I read something in a book, I think Inverting the pyramid, about how he brought his style from Boro. The long ball percentage game. You get it long, try and win the first ball, but absolutely must win the second breaking ball. It really suited the players Ireland had at the time. He kept it simple.

I would wonder what Sunderland saw in him, with our transfer record. The issue is this recruitment could drag on for who knows how long. Honestly, it's amateur from what I can see. They advertise the roles on LinkedIn. Surely they should be head hunting targeted people? It amazes me how reactive they are. I have worked in more proactive organisations. No, you can't blame him. He annoys me, but why would he miss out on all that money? Would make no sense. Most offer the fudgey "mutual" decision stuff. It just shows how detached they are. I don't necessarily mean applying someone for sentimental value, more that he is a proven winner. Ya,it's hard to know what part he plays, but you would imagine he would motivate and inspire players more than some on our bench. It's not the bee all and end all though ,I agree. It's just the coaching set up at rovers doesn't strike me as going for the hungriest and best. Again, all speculation.

Someone there is making the call. You would wonder who is involved in the conversations. How high does it go Surely, at a certain point, the club need them just as much as they need the club? I don't think it's unreasonable to expect more ,I won't say aggressive, but thorough , questioning? I know it's a local paper, but it's almost bordering on dishonest how they are reporting on things? It's head in the sand anyway, no doubt about that.

Stats / data on managers sounds like a needless distraction to me. You know if a manager is doing well by watching performances and results. Stats /data would probably make Mowbray look like less of a disaster, hence why he constantly trots this stuff out.

I think and I'm not making excuses, cos it isn't one, but did/does he find defending so straight forward that he can't teach it or identify issues tactically? I mean ultimately it is simple, but the way he sets us up, makes it difficult for even good defenders. I mean look at his career in management. Let's call a spade a spade here. He has had ongoing issues. Take that WBA promotion out and it's pretty shit. Yet he talks about how he likes his team's to play, as if it's a proven method of gaining success. It isn't. I blame the media for being very inept when it comes to questioning him. At other clubs, managers would feel the pressure via questioning from journalists. Now, granted we aren't on TV often, but when we are it's like they have watched the first 10 games of the season and just discarded what has come since. As for the LT, well I don't understand why they let him off with it. Would it really matter he refused to talk to them? I'm sure many would be impressed my them for putting that pressure on. Grow some balls.

Yep. There is no consistency or anything really to suggest there is a "plan". I agree with everything you say. Then you add in signing players who don't fit how we play, or players for positions they don't play their best in. I mean this is the reality. Our recruitment is a mess. I was thinking about another thing as well. My mate supports villa. You look at them getting Terry in. Look at our coaching set up. It's bargain basement stuff, with no ambition. To be fair he got us out of League 1, but if he hadn't lucked out with Dack and AA, he would be gone and we could still be there. Anyway, a lot of that good will is gone for me. He is incapable of admitting fault. To me in my job, I find that an awful, awful trait. The best can easily accept blame. If he goes at the end of the season, I will give him the credit he deserves, if he stays though.....

They probably regret that decision now. I assume they could have gotten him a club still in the mix for promotion.

All we can go off are recent signings and let's be honest, they haven't been good, have they? We have signed more players from Boro than Europe under Mowbray, way more. So something isn't working. It's either not being done properly,or the manager is rejecting good proposals. Which do you think it is? It appears to me that our recruitment is light years behind other clubs in the division. Night and day.

He's not going to leave him there. He doesn't trust him there. We don't cross the ball in. So many reasons he is destined to fail

Whatever chance Gallagher had is ruined under this manager. Firstly he has shattered his confidence playing him in a position that highlights his weaknesses. Secondly he knows he's far from Mowbrays first choice as centre forward. He's arguably what, 4th choice? 5th? He played Buckley there ahead of him for the love of god!!!

Indeed, that would be very unsatisfactory. I just have a bad feeling we could end up in an unprecedented last day relegation. This is what following Rovers and Ireland will do to a man 🤣

Honestly we would have a better chance accumulating points if we played the under 23s with Barr as manager for the remaining games

And those that could play who have reason to care, are out on loan

True, but lose the next two and other results go against us and things could look far more perilous. I wouldnt fancy us getting a result if pressure was really on.

I have been concerned for a while. Still very concerned now. What really concerns me is the amount of people saying "we will be fine" even though there is no guarantee of that and no reason to suggest that barring other clubs not getting results too,that we will be.

Does anyone know a Phil Gregory? Is he on here? Hi Phil if so He's talking some nonsense on Instagram. Defending the manager in a ludicrously blinkered fashion

Has one player come out to support the manager? Haven't seen it. They barely even acknowledge the defeats on social media, it's always the same regurgitated generic sentence. Actually, has Mowbray once ,at at any time, after any game accepted responsibility or any blame for a defeat? Man of integrity my ass Honestly cannot stomach listening to him anymore.

Where do you want me to start? In a nutshell, the owners are incompetent and even if they put money in, they don't get football, the nuances of it. Corners have been cut in many areas. There is a long list of smaller,but better run club's who are ahead of us. That's the type of club we used to be. Now we look enviously at clubs like Brentford and Barnsley.

Or alternatively you could look at it that it's a lot of shite gone. The only one there I would be upset about would be Nyambe and he has a 1 year option.

I don't buy season tickets due to where I live, but I won't be watching next season or even following what's happening during the summer if he's still here. If we get a different manager I will follow, watch when I can and go over when I can. Having said that, I know he isn't the only or even main issue.
