Most on here including me want Mowbray out but he ain't going to walk despite implying he would many moons ago if he felt he could do no more. Even without the fans at games he will know to some extent the anger we have but because he doesn't see or hear there is limited fan pressure. Pressure from Venkys is the unknown but I doubt their involvement, but that's only a doubt. But I think you're tomphil. His daft comments, passing on responsibility to players, playing a forward at right back with Gally shaking his head as he was substituted along with his sitting games out suggests something has happened and he doesn't like it.

With the decisions he makes and lack of match contribution whilst he's sitting down, I'm thinking even Mowbray would like the sack. While all this time is precious, if and when he does go we will look back on this season as a season when we could have made the playoffs under proper football management.

So was Mowbray. Gally at right back???

Man of the man for me is Gally, for playing fullback when clearly he didn't want to. After yet another home defeat instead of the "...we move on.." hope to hear ".... I move on..."

I sense a Kaminski blunder.

Excellent post Crimpshrine. You're correct about Charlie Austin. Every team needs a winner but our lot came out as if they where auditioning for "some mother do ave em". On Tony Mowbray, his match day attitude has been questioned before and if you add this to his "let's move on" after match interviews it makes me think what encouragement does he give in the dressing room and at training sessions. Very little judging by what we saw on Saturday. Not good enough Tony for this proud football club. You're a nice chap, got us back into the Championship, but the requirements at this level are more. We need an enthusiastic manager to bring out the best of these young lads including the rising U23 stars. Can't see any change coming in the remaining matches but a new manager will give us hope for next season.

Another poor performance. We are not worthy of a visit to the top 6. Under a new manager next season things will be different.

Always same when we get too close to top 6.

Was up early to watch Root, not disappointed. He's tiring but knows when to score runs like his 6 that took him beyond 200. Channel 4 good but Cook will never be a Bumble. Popes out 473-5

Yet just read "Corry Evans has proven a wise and solid head in the middle of the park for the visitors."

Back in the early 1970's I attended a local sportman's evening with a junior team. Pie and peas including guests Sir Roger Jones, Derek Fazackerley and Dick Mulvaney. Not sure if the Dirty Duck was The Wheatsheaf Bazza. Think that was on Mincing Lane.

Yeap Mecca was as you say. Was the Darwen St pub The Merchants?

Luton are are good team but even though we were poor going forward for most of the game, Branthwaite, Douglas and Kaminski held us together at the back. Superb goal and credit given for quick thinking. Three points off playoff position isn't a bad place to be considering a month ago we were 7 off and played a game more. Would just love to be debating this win in the Blues Bar.

Luton still complaining to the ref!! No u turn today, win stands. Don't know why they are complaining. The drop ball was their own doing. !0 from 12.

Get In! That will teach Luton for their tactics

Bad choice of pass by Gally. Should have pulled it back,

Mowbray needs to change things.

Some might say it was the pitch but Armstrong should be testing keeper with that shot,

Middlesbrough are complaining going off and they have a point. But we have the three points that count!

That miss by Armstrong is why he will never be a premiership player.

Middlesbrough must have instructions to play for free kicks and ref's falling for it.

!00% penalty. How did he miss that. The ref will know now so advantage to Middlesbrough,

The fake free kicks allowed in football today are pathetic to watch.

One question for Tony Mowbray at HT is when are you leaving.

Didn't look offside!
