Agreed. I don't think he truly believes we can get into the play offs, or at least that's how it comes across in most of his interviews. And if he's like that in front of the players that could explain the fact we've been in the play off spots once since he took over.

We're in the middle of a Mowbray run I'm afraid with 4 points from 5 games. The only reason it's been over looked this time is everyone around us is having a shitter as well and we're somehow still 'in the mix' for the play offs (we're not really). That'll change at some point and we'll drop off into mid table mediocrity - which is where this squad will get us with a manager of Mowbray's ability. We need something new in the summer, a fresh manager who is hungry for success who could over achieve with a mid table squad. Unfortunately that'll never happen with the chicken botherers in charge. The Venky loop.

This league is absolute muck. So many average players not just at Rovers. How are players like Bennett getting paid £000's a week, he's non league standard? And just imagine if by some miracle we scrape into the play offs and get promoted. We'd go to Anfield and lose 10-0.

And we still have never been in the play offs under Mowbray.

Agreed. But claiming we're not in the mix is a bit ridiculous. And in truth with our injuries we're far ahead of where I'd expected us to be.

We were in 6th when we were winning at Brentford, if that isn't 'in the mix' then I'd give up on Rovers mate as I don't think it'll get any better than this anytime soon.

Entirely predictable I'm afraid, one step forward two steps back; the Mowbray way.

Which defender is getting injured first?

Didn't see it, having untold dramas at the airport which means we're not going on holiday, going on the result we're the real fucking deal for the play offs surely???

Agreed, they make mistakes. However its usually a pretty good barometer of what'll happen in the game vs someone who has a 'nice feeling' but gets it wrong most of the time.

Have you ever looked at the profit of the gambling companies? They shit money. So when the odds are 5/1 on a one off game its a long shot. I'd snap your hand off for a draw. Which I still can't get my head around when the fact is we're playing Brentford.

Totally agree. Tosin has been the difference, would love to see us buy him in the summer if we get promoted. Highly unlikely I know! On the game I would take a dull 0-0 right now, if we win we are absolutely play off contenders, and I can't believe that is the case.

As will I! Haven't broken the news to my wife as yet, she's looking forward to a pre holiday shop and a bottle of fizz with her husband, I'm looking forward to Armstrong scoring from 45 yards out.

A result at Brentford would be massive. Even a draw would be acceptable with two very winnable games at home to follow. I still don't think we'll make it but fuck me it's exciting to be in the mix.

What a legend!

Cognitive dissonance

His injury has forced Tony to play players that are more suited to that role there. Its not a criticism of the player.

Jesus wept

Stop being so sensitive. Gallagher has contributed very little this season, mostly as he's constantly played out of position. Him being injured has forced Tony's hand in playing players who are much more suited to that role there. If that means we now get in the play offs then i couldn't give a flying fuck about offending you or anyone else in saying his injury is a blessing.

Surely we can't beat Brentford can we?! If we do win there then it'll be the first time this season I'll genuinely believe we can finish in the top 6.

Gallagher getting injured is a blessing as if he's fit he plays.

Today could not have gone better as it stands... Surely that won't still be the case in 15 mins time!

A few have said that Dack's injury forces Tony's hand with regards to how we set up and play.

Get in lad! Love a couple of shit goals, nice bit of football karma after the non penalty & red card

Fucking ref
