Don't get me wrong I don't think he is but....if we are negotiating with Boro for Assombalonga and Southampton find out and hike up the price of Gallagher/Austin then it does us no favours does it?

I will join the lynching

Or he is keeping his powder dry....

You're going to have to use grammar in your posts as I can't tell if you're taking the piss or agreeing with me.

Do you know how many people's Thursday's you are going to ruin?

Nailed it. I'd guess no one at the club wants us to get into the top 6, Mowbray certainly isn't ambitious. Or Waggott. And our dreadful owners certainly wouldn't want the guaranteed payday of the PL either. No ambition anywhere. I guess getting promoted out of League 1 last year must have been a mistake. And being 3 points of play-offs with 1/3 of the season left. Someone needs to remind them all of their lack of ambition. And you'd obviously know our total budget because you work at the club? Nailed. It.

I fear Madon's updates, as appreciated as they are, are going to make today a lot more painful for some than it would have been without knowing about BA. I'm contented either way, nice to be linked with the best players in the league again and we have filled in a hole with a very exciting prospect in Chapman, Blackburn Rovers life is good.

You must dry your v8gina.

Sounds like Gallagher is the main focus with Austin and Assombalonga the backup options if he isn't available, and they'd only come in once Big T has assessed their character to make sure they will fit into the squad personality wise. Unless Waggott is throwing Boro off by lying to the media the scamp ?

Was Dack a misnomer then? And Armstrong? Rodwell? Rothwell? Reed? To make such a sweeping statement that our recruitment strategy is flawed is naive at best.

Yep that's where I'm at with it. Would be a hell of signing but has the potential to upset the apple cart if it's going to break our wage structure.

Out of the loop isn't he!

Nonsense, he's going to get lynched if it doesn't happen

OK so he is signing tomorrow yes?

Well that'd be a turn up! Balaji getting twitchy, can smell the play offs. Would certainly put us in a strong position to give it a good go. Gonna put my negative hat on and say it won't happen though, you've certainly brought this thread to life though buddy.

Not for me, more or less the whole reason for the turn in results since the new year. Big shout out to Armstrong as well who seems to have come of age. Looking positive for a decent run at the play offs albeit I think we'll fall a little short, not least as I think we're fighting four or five other teams for one, possibly two spots in the play offs.

This will get jumped on by the dour

A boring footballer for a boring manager, perfect fit. I'm with others on here that Boro are the one's we are going to pip to the play-offs if we get there. For the record I don't think we will make it.

Fair comment, though I thought Millwall away was a solid victory. Anyway I'm blaming the dullest transfer window in history for me writing bollocks.

To continue my fickle wave of positivity after the last three results I thought I'd work out where we "should" be in the league; Gained Points Derby away +2 Stoke away +2 QPR home +2 Bolton away +2 Lost Points Birmingham @ home -2 Ipswich away - 2 Leeds away - 2 Reading home - 2 Forest home - 2 Villa home - 2 I've therefore got us 4 points worse off than we "should" be which feels about right overall. You could possibly argue Rotherham home and Borough away we didn't get what we deserved either but I didn't want to be silly about it. Obviously. How lovely.

Top statting. Lambert is dour and his teams tend to follow suit bar a lucky run at Norwich. Fully expect to pump this lot tomorrow.

Hard to watch today but I'm putting that on Millwall not us, very much improved in the second half, chuffed for Armstrong and TM and the heroes that were at the game.

Hard to watch that. Millwall lumping it up to the front two and relying in set pieces, us passing it sideways as per, thought Conway and Bell were our worst two as well. We've got the bench to go and win this game, come on Big T.

He is singularly the worst thing about the transfer windows for me; pals with all the wrong people and just continuously throws shit at the wall hoping for something to stick whilst getting paid for it, first class wand.

On the other side of the coin could you not appreciate the fact that Mowbray is arguably the best manager we've had in the chaos that is Rao era?
