Nobody else is putting those corners in though. If they were that rank bad defending would be letting corners in from other players too. You're wrong if you think it's a coincidence that he keeps scoring from them. On the wider point he should be dropped. He's a shit defender. My point is we have to replace his goals. He could well finish top scorer.

He's scored 10 goals and his free kicks and corners are our most potent threats at the moment. Of course we'd miss them.

I agree. Trouble is he's also our best attacker these days.

Rothwell is not even close to being a defender.....oh yeah, see your point.

The really tragicomic thing about the team Mowbray has created is that one of our best attackers (Mulgrew 10 goals) is also a very bad defender? So not only do we need a new defence but we also need to replace nearly a quarter of our goals.

The total commitment bullshit really irks. I made the same point a few weeks ago.

Nonsense. The team wasn't right to beat Rotherham if we couldn't deal with their one main weapon--a long throw. Even Mowbray admitted they couldn't deal with it.

Just seen the goals. The 1st and 3rd are truly embarrassing.

What I mean is how will he improve us if his recruitment is so shit? People keep saying 'give him the summer' but why? His record in the transfer market is poor.

I'd agree. What's he going to change when his recruitment is so poor?

Bingo. He also blames everyone but himself for the teams failings. I don't rate him at all and have no faith he will bring in the players needed to make us better. His record in the transfer market is frankly very poor. Trouble is he won't be sacked by the idiots running the club. I include his mate Waggott in that.

That's an awful team. Mulgrew and Rothwell would be funny to watch though trying to defend.

Your predictions are awful. You are a bookie.

A team is a reflection of the manager. The buck always stops with him. If it didn't we might as well have kept every shite manager we've ever had. And those gutless players were either bought by the manager or given contract extensions by him. He 'likes the group', he said so many times. He likes the players you call gutless. Whose fault is that?

Is 'showing them loyalty' a euphemism for being a poor judge of ability?

I'm presuming the thing last week with him. What's hilarious about that interview is that he's making it sound like the defensive problems are a new thing. He's full of shit.

It's never Tony's fault.

Raya was making errors all last season. What's extraordinary is that he's now being made the fall guy. The real fall guy should be Mowbray for not getting a replacement in the summer. Shameful from Mowbray.

Extraordinary comments from Mowbray. He's hung Raya out to dry.

Along with Notts County we've now conceded more goals away from home than every other of the 92 league teams. I'm not sure even Coyle was that shit.

AA 1.75m. Rothwell cost a fee. Chapman too.

Whatever we think I very much doubt Venkys will be happy about committing close to £10m in transfer fees last summer to a team that now loses week after week.

To anyone in particular?

Tony's got his excuse.

To be fair they don't play in the same position. Rothwell isn't a defensive CM and he's apparently playing behind Graham today, which is probably his best position.
