How can 8 defeats out of 10 not be a 'shocking run'. The drugs are strong in Sheffield.

Nobody said you were clever, just that you might know how the site runs that you do some admin for?

The Mowbray Mantra

It's very odd. Why would the owner of the site object? Maybe @J*B could help?

@K-Hod do the honours with the poll please. Mowbray Out or Let him Rebuild In Summer. It's either a Peoples Vote or you're Theresa May in disguise

Spot on. If we're going to get dicked every week at least have a go and try and play some football from the off. He's just a very average manager stuck in the past who tries to portray himself as progressive.

Bring on Stoke. The games can't come quick enough. They're committed, are you?

Apart from he didn't. He's a number 10 like Rothwell. Tony collects them and plays them on the wing... If they're lucky.

That's like a win for Tony

2-1

The collapse has begun

Our defence is still on it.

According to the BBC we haven't won a Championship game after going behind since 2016. Villa 1 Rovers 2

Mowbray was saying we didn't have any European scouts. It appears the clubs recruitment team Brexited a long time ago. I expect the IoM's reserve team captain.

Looking forward to see Waggotts imaginative pricing structures to attract fans back to the club. I see Forest have kept their £135 ST anywhere in the ground for those aged 18-23 (the age bracket that research has shown is around the time young people stop going to football due to cost). That's a club with a far bigger catchment area than us and a ground the same size. I'm sure Steve's on it...

Not really. Mowbray has a pre-match and a post-match interview. Like all managers he uses them to justify/explain/whatever his team selections/tactics/results etc. The trouble with Mowbray is that he opens himself up to criticism by contradicting himself at every turn in his desperate attempt to deflect attention away from his own poor decisions regarding selections/tactics/results etc. And Souness talked utter shite. My personal favourite was when he said the criticism of Amoruso was because of how he looked i.e. fans were jealous of his physique and gorgeous flowing locks. True story.

good luck

Again, I wouldn’t be sitting here thinking that he’ll be a kingpin in midfield, he’ll be more of a cog in the wheel. He can be one of three, that’s how I see Jacob really." One of 3 what? Stooges, Wise Men, Degrees? And didn't he play well for Burton in a midfield 2? And as Mowbray tends to play a midfield 2 where does that leave Davenport? Answers to @BrockhallBollocks

Bradley looks like a serial killer from the 1970's.

Villa 1 (Cowans) Rovers 2 (Garner, Kennedy) Have some faith you lily-livered surrender monkeys.

Again, not true. Contrary to popular opinion Lambert left because he didn't want to run the club and be it's figurehead. He was caught saying it to a journo at a press conference. It was reported at the time. Something along the lines of 'I'm not doing this again' in reference to absent owners like he had a t Villa. He went on record as saying he hadn't discussed money with Venky's. At no point did he try and shield the owners. Coyle and Kean were just different varieties of liars. Bowyer didn't shield the owners. He just played the game by going out to see them. Mowbray has praised them for the simple fact he's been backed in the transfer market - despite the club losing £17m in the last accounts. He has to say money was available because it has been. It's there in the club accounts.

He had the biggest budget in L1, was allowed to keep all his big earners and added Dack. He then spent £7.6m net in the summer when most clubs in the Championship spend next to nowt because they practically all lose money. Mowbray was then quoted as saying he had money in Jan but couldn't find better players. All this at a club that has just recorded a £17m loss. Its irrelevant that they once said they could bankroll PL football on £5m a year. Mowbray had the money, he said so. He's recently come out and criticised the lack of investment in infrastructure. I don't think there's any party line being toed. Its very Venkys to give him a wedge of cash to buy some players but not have the scouting network/infrastructure in place to make best use of that cash. Hence him bemoaning the lack of European scouts recently. And yes, it was astonishing he didn't strengthen in January. We have seen the fall out from that recently. It's even more astonishing given his 'if you've got it, spend it' quotes when we signed BB.

Mowbray said he had money left in January that he didn't spend. He said he was happy with the squad. You can blame Venkys for many things but not the backing Mowbray has had.

Just how many players are you stalking?
