They shouldn't but he should look at himself and his approach to the game. He coaches a team that offers very little threat going forward and is quite capable of capitulating at the back. We only start playing form the 46th minute. Easy to blame the players.

Same nearly every game, Den.

He signs, picks and coaches them.

The bar's been very low in recent years. He's open, but I think he's just like every other manager when under pressure. He blames the players.

So why play Palmer up front and not the striker he paid £7m for. No surprise he's blaming the defence and not mentioning his team selection. He should blame himself, not them.

When Nuttall was being touted last season as a possible 1st teamer when we were having a bad run last season he said 'never'. Two weeks later he was in the team. It's easy being 'honest' when the team is doing well. Let's see if he blames his team selection for today's defeat.

In fairness, when under pressure, he talks some utter shite.

Not for long I'd wager.

Indeed. But the tone is set by the manager. Third time in a row PNE have scored 4 goals at home. They obviously play front-foot football with a bit of bravery and creativity. We rarely score from open play.

I've been saying that all season.

Mowbray should be ashamed of his and his team's performance today.

It we stop being negative on a forum we can still turn this around.

Can we get Elliot Ward back?

I don't disagree.

You were far too optimistic.

Tony Mowbray - Tactical pygmy.

game over 3-1

BB on for Palmer. Palmer's been a shite signing.

first goal coming up.

A midfielder on for a striker. Figures.

Strikers playing as strikers What is this sorcery?

Not you, Mogga's team selection!

12 goals from open play all season. Dack has 7 of those.

Is it fair to say we are very poor in the opening 45 mins of nearly every game? Does this not point to a manger being over-cautious and setting up not to lose and thereby handing the initiative to the opposition pretty much every game?

Raya's fault eh!? Desperate stuff. Riddle me this, why are we always dreadful in the 1st half of nearly every match?
