Only thing going for Samuel is he gets in the right position now and again. Just a shame he has two left feet and the finishing of Ade Akinbiyi (on a bad day). If he gets a new deal then that tells you all you need to know about next season.

Exactly. I just don't understand people's argument against this. You're paid handsomely, given a decent budget for this division, can pretty much do what you want without repercussion. What's not to like?! You just need to bake Madame the odd lemon drizzle here and there.

Amen. Their fans are waxing lyrical about him - say he gets MOM every single week. It’s quite laughable Mowbray’s treatment of him, and as you rightly say, sums up his philosophy.

Agree with most of that, but his end product is pretty woeful - be it crossing or shooting. What does he have, no goals and a couple of assists in 100 odd appearances? He has every other attribute going though, and agreed under a better set up he’d flourish further.

That’s Nyambe off in the summer then.

Couldn’t care less to be honest - I certainly won’t be watching. Just start the kids, FFS.

TM: "The first half wasn't good enough, we lacked energy, ideas. The frustration is the team felt ready. We knew what was at stake. We lacked the quality first half, we kept booting the ball to their centre halves. Second half we didn't work their keeper enough." #Rovers Firstly, if the team kept launching it against your pre match instructions, you could have stepped in. Second, you’re surprised that no strikers and Downing as a false 9 failed to test their keeper. You’re delusional, Tony.

Lost 1-0. Bore off Mowbray and give Johno 2 games to see the season out. Cheers.

Why when we’re 1 behind with ten mins left do we never, ever lay a glove on the opposition?

£7 million man doesn’t get a run out when we need a goal. Says it all.

He’s spinning some yarn to the media and the owners is my bet about this ‘change of style’.

Might be alright if we had Neymar, Coutinho et al.

I guarentee some on here will defend it saying ‘he gets in the right positions’. TM will 100% give him a new deal - a non scoring striker who won’t moan at playing on the wing is Mowbray’s dream.

This 4-2-2-2 with no actual strikers (while losing 1-0 no less) will surely go down as Mowbray’s Matteo moment as somebody above aluded to.

Amen. Thinks he’s Pep.

Downing as a false 9 with nobody up top. Classic Tony.

Of course he is. On the right. God, Mowbray does my fecking head in.

Rest easy lads, goal machine Gally is on.

By odd goal here and there you mean one goal! Agreed though, he’s absolutely trash and if he gets a new contract it’ll sum up our ambitions for next season, that’s for sure.

Funnily he was one of them pre match posting some ‘3 finals, we’ll give it our all rollocks’ like a few of the others. Our lads have always been a tad spineless when it comes down to it.

All this sh*t chatted by manager and players during the build up to this game and they come out of the traps like this. Embarrassing.

If you’re fit enough for the bench, you’re fit enough to start, surely. Another Mowbray clanger.

I’ll put any wager, with anyone, that Palace won’t be in for Sam Gallagher. We’ll struggle to get him off the books given his decent wage here. Who would want him too?

???. Palace interested in Gally. You post some guff but that takes the biscuit pal.

Well I didn’t see that coming, particularly at half time. Brilliant result but makes the Wigan and Barnsley results even more frustrating. Mowbray pulls off another win just as the virtual pressure begins to crank up a notch.
