G Somerset Rover

9 points off the play-offs now (albeit we have one game in hand on sixth).

Amen. Lockdown or no lockdown I’d have made my way up there and packed his bags for him. If anyone comes in with anything remotely acceptable, the club should snap their hands off.

I mentioned a while ago but Stephen Warnock spoke to the athletic recently about Allardyce’s first few days at Rovers. It was straight to set pieces and defending. Who stands where, who marks who etc. At first the players were like ‘what is this guy about?’. However, he said the penny quickly dropped with them and he improved us overnight. Marginal gains and a little something called tactical nous. Mowbray hasn’t improved us one bit defensively... in FOUR years!

Tony’s thought process right now... ’You can’t lose the game if you don’t play it’

Obviously doesn’t fit with the TM narrative.

I think people are underestimating them - they’re 2nd - 4 points clear of 3rd! Agree though, it’ll be a stroll for them.

They can’t be far off being the form team of the league. They’ll want it too much and Mowbray will be outclassed. Can see either 3-1 or 2-0 to the Swans.

From reading between the lines it would need to be Pasha to have a word in the ears of Madame/Blingy. I’d be amazed if Waggott held much sway with them.

I genuinely wouldn’t be surprised if Mowbray makes a dig or two this week about ‘unhelpful outside influences’ and the like, during one of his pressers. Perhaps Sharpe is getting a bit more ballsy as more of his work is done virtually these days!

Jesus Christ does he even think before he speaks? How does nobody call him out on his b*llocks? Surprised a manager or two hasn’t had a pop back yet.

Two wins in ten. Please, please just do the honourable thing Tony. FFS.

This journey feels like some of the bus rides I had in South America. Never ending and constantly having my heart in my mouth.

PROGRESS* *On 18/19.

Finished 1-1. Just so meh. We are crying out for a change.

For all the hard luck stories, that may well have gone out prior to Bucko slotting it in.

Buckooooooooo In TM we trust.

I find it quite ironic that we’ve not had a shot given Mowbray spent most of the week talking about all the ‘shots’ we’ve been having like they equate to points.

This would be Stoke’s second win in ten (all comps). Their other win in that run? Us.

Historically under Mowbray we go on a decent run following a set of poor results. Winless in 5-6, win 2-4, repeat. Something feels different this time. I can’t see us winning 3-4 on the spin again under him. Heck I can’t see us winning one right now to be honest.

‘Don’t be silly we’re only little Blackburn Rovers, good managers won’t come here, we won’t do better than Mowbray’.

I’m at a huge loss as to how anyone can defend Mowbray and believe he should continue in his role.

Mowbray opting for the famed 4-2-2-2 formation.

I think a well drilled League Two side could bring home 3 points from Ewood right now. The game plan for opposing teams is just so blatantly obvious and simple. I have zero faith in Mowbray having a clue as to how to turn this game around too. He never does.

Sharpe and our media team could just copy and paste the same stuff every single week. It’d be laughable if it wasn’t so serious.

Don’t worry, Tony will get that early enthusiasm out of him by next week.
