Broughton, Knutsen, Deila - have to say I'm completely underwhelmed if I'm being honest.

On the other hand you then you think of what has gone before, Mowbray and Venus and it's difficult to think that anyone could be much of a downgrade on that.

Hoping to be pleasantly surprised in due course but not really the calibre of appointments I was hoping for.

Fair enough, you're allowed an opinion, but if you're underwhelmed by the guy who's side utterly dismantled Jose Mourinho's Roma side 6-1, what exactly would it take to excite you?

Whilst I agree with the gamble I'd rather see us go for something a bit out there over some of the proven to be dross options we've discussed over recent weeks.

My thoughts exactly

Another week, another name.

He wouldn’t have been my first choice but he’s much more exciting than Dunc or Unsworth…

I see Rich Sharpe has now committed to his name.

As good as done.

Deila believe in life after love?

I’m not too sure about that. 2 promotions to the prem in the last 4 years vs 1 promotion 15 years ago. Mowbray has 3 poor to middling spells at Celtic, Middlesbrough and Coventry. His win percent at Norwich was 41.8% vs Mowbray’s 40% at rovers but that is somewhat bolstered by our spell in the 3rd division. 

DF in the Championship.

Played: 138, Won: 71. 51%
 

TM in the Championship (with us)

Played: 198, Won: 72. 36%.

Had Tony matched DF, he would’ve won another 30 or so games. Across 4.3 seasons, an extra 20 or so points per season…

He didn't look offside to me it looked like one moment of class play.

Looked like Lenihan completely fucked up a cross once again to me, and it fell luckily to Dack. I wasn’t sure if he was on or off, but to be fair to the linesman, he flagged instantly. So whatever he saw he was certain of.

The officiating today was a complete fucking disgrace - the fact that the foul/free kick at the end took 2 minutes to resolve, and he blew as soon as TK kicked it, was blatant cheating. I can’t believe more aren’t fuming about this. He saved Mowbray a lot of abuse though.

Travis this morning
 

🙈

What?

Could this not work in our favour? 
 

They’ve royally fucked him about, embarrassed him big time, in pursuit of mind games (or maybe it was genuine, who knows), if I was him, I’d want revenge and the best way to get that is give us 110%, get us promoted and subject them to the joys of being screwed by FFP.

All theoretical, but it could have that effect…

What’s the betting he has a knock around April 30th?

I would bring the rest of the squad into the room and ask him the question again.

I’d wait for his answer then get Travis to ask him again, and then Darragh, Johnson, Van Hecke & Nyambe for good measure.

Looks like Hayden Carter is off to Pompey. Don’t have a link but reliable enough information.

 The fans will struggle singing his name......any offers in how you pronounce it?

He's a right back... does that mean Nyambe's going?

At a guess - Say-fike 

Deyovaisio Zeefuik in then it seems… Great signing.

I’d love Everton or Burnley away, I think we’d beat them, they are both so poor at the moment. Everton is a good day out and Burnley is Burnley.

I’d take Kidderminster away for somewhere new to me, Liverpool away as it’s always a great day out or St Albans/Boreham Wood away.

A big club at home would be alright, but I’d prefer to play any of them away.

BBD is becoming a phenomenal player he is like a man possessed at times! Runs his heart out, ball control has improved, positional sense has improved whilst his instinctive finishing is to be admired. I was wondering what his current conversion rate is compared to AA's this time last season ?

According to Infogol:

AA had 189 shots which converted to 28 goals in the league. Interestingly his xG was only 27.74, which indicates an average of 0.14xG per shot.

BBD has so far had 54 shots, which has converted to 16 goals in the league. His xG is 12.49, or 0.23xG per shot.

To me this shows that he is getting shots off from much better positions than AA did, and then scoring them.

I think that much is obvious, he doesn’t take pot shots 4 or 5 times a game like AA did.

At his current trajectory, BBD could hit 38.73 goals this season, which would blow AA out of the water.

Like this is just mad now. It's crazy. Enjoy the money who ever bet on the 20 goals and didn't cash out. Your bravery deserves it, at this rate you'll have the money for Christmas

I took the half and I am kicking myself, but I am also buzzing for him & everyone who’s stuck it out.

It gets said a lot, but this story is incredible. It’s like he’s manifested Leicester 2015-16.

Hope everyone’s mates have ‘shut up’… 

Mowbray out.

Indeed and Carthorse was worse when he came on. He's in the Magloire category. The 2 of them way out of their depth. Ayala is 10 times better that both combined. Lenihan was shite last night too. All wrong from the start

In Mowbrays post match interview the crazy bastard said we started well and were in the game up to the sending off. Obviously no one questioned this. Downing was a bit critical. Look if we were near releagtion and this happened he still wouldn't be fired, let alone if we are close to the play offs 

 

I think he’s talking bollocks too, but had that handball from Johnson’s header been given, at 2-0, with BBD in the form of his life that’s almost a given at 2-1. Could’ve changed the game. We were by no means ‘still in the game’ at that point though, it would’ve got us back in it.

I am totally baffled that there’s still people absolving him of any blame & not agreeing that he needs to go. A very long season to come…

Yeah, I bet they will shunt all the premiership news to one side, to run that story.

To be fair Sky love a dig at us, so they probably would.

Let's see how many of the 24 Championship clubs actually do away with a programme.

Anyone who has purchased a programme at away grounds will know that it is feasible to produce a decent standard product and sell it at £3.

Here however we have a can't do attitude.

Can't have a club shop in the town, can't put season tickets on sale, can't get new kits on sale, can't can't can't.

Rapidly wondering why they even bother opening the doors. Would be easier and cheaper to not bother.

If your penultimate sentence was read out loud by a Londoner, the ending would sound like they’re describing the Coventrio.

Diaz was 500/1 to score 20+ league goals on sky bet a couple of days ago. I've just checked and its tumbled to 80/1. At 500 that's worth a tenner surely

It was 1000/1 to begin with, fingers crossed a few of us are a bit richer in May!

Stay clear of the let comments page.  I needed a sick bucket.  Definition of deluded 

Same applies to the official club Facebook post. It’s genuinely infuriating.

I appreciate the message.

Also believe it is quite important that there was no mention of Tony Mowbray.

Except it’s right there in the final paragraph.

They need to come back to learn they aren’t welcome. Fuck them.
