How many years did we give Johnson? 2? 2 years too many. Never moved from Derby and doesn’t give a toss. Surely some fools would take him off our hands.

Not gonna find me arguing, DS. I’d have played Graham over all striking options bar Arma for the past few matches, but now we’re playing for nothing I’m not so sure (surely we can’t justify another 12 months when he never plays?). We’re going to be up sh!t creek next season - I have no doubt about it. As I say, Arma (IMO) won’t continue to pull worldies out of the hat (and will probably be sold anyway).

Finally. I live in Bristol and he’s been coasting it for far too long. Fan pressure finally got there. What pressure is there on Mowbray? None.

I also saw our 6’0 other multi million pound striker round the keeper and fall ass over tit. If it wasn’t so serious a problem it would be funny. I would say we should try some other lads up top, but who else is there other than a 35 year old Danny Graham?!

As an aside, an Arma wonder goal aside, we just never look like scoring do we. Given what he’s spunked on strikers, it ain’t good enough.

Absolutely terrible. Again. Same issues. Again. Likes of Gallagher and Samuel need never where our famous blue and white halves again. But they will. Samuel is probably having a shiny two year deal prepped as I type. Awful, just awful. I wish Mowbray would do the honourable thing that he keeps talking about.

Biscuit and brew time is it?

What’s the point in investing in goal posts and nets at Brockhall with Samuel, Gallagher and Brereton as our super strikers.

A Mowbray classic death spiral run well and truly underway here.

1-0 Leeds. Great start, lads. Really good to see such a strong response from us.

Gallagher RW again. Words fail me.

#Rovers XI: Walton, Nyambe, Lenihan, Adarabioyo, Bennett, Travis, Johnson, Rothwell, Armstrong, Holtby, Gallagher Bennet still at LB. I said Gallagher would be back in for Samuel. Rinse and repeat. Great to have Travis and Lenihan back.

Don’t even begin to get your hopes up. Even if Bell had returned to fitness like prime Roberto Carlos, he won’t be keeping Bennett out of the side. That or he’ll be shoehorned in somewhere. Expect the headless donkey Gallagher to be back in too.

Tony does not like this. Reckon we’ll see more of the same and a bit of a tonking. Rovers 0 Leeds 3 As an aside, Chaddy you want to go and get your head checked out at the quacks for putting Samuel in your Rovers 11.

He shouldn't be playing RW end of, but he doesn't have a strikers instinct. He's never on the end of crosses - even Samuel showed him up on that yesterday (albeit with woeful finishing).

Not sure of that - will likely mean Gallagher plays.

Not sure of that - will likely mean Gallagher plays.

He’s definitely over playing these ‘chances’. Samuel obviously had a couple glorious ones, we had that goalmouth scramble where Johnson(?) diverted it over. Arma half chance. Can’t think of any more?

Travis likely out for the remainder of the season with medial ligament damage. Night capped off.

https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2020/june/tm-post-barnsley-reaction/ ‘We have an array of strikers but nobody is firing for us at the moment.’ Funny that Tony, when you’ve amassed this ‘array’ of strikers (for a Kings ransom), that are frankly utter horse sh*te.

Someone said on Twitter that he may have stood on his ankle after the swipe when the player was down. Not been able to watch it back since to see if holds any truth.

Nyambe cashed in on, so a backline come August of: Bennet - Mulgrew - Williams - Bell Gulp.

The worst of it is, it’ll be rinse and repeat come the weekend. Samuel was p*ss, so back in comes Gallagher. Armstrong will be back out for Brereton if he has his red turned over. Graham may get a game. There’s just no method to Mowbray’s madness and if I have to see us line up with this wide forward nonsense once more I think I’ll lose the plot. So angry tonight.

In a nut shell. Only word to sum it up is embarrassing.

He’d have slung his hook for me for spunking £12 million up the wall with signing two absolute dollopers in Gallagher and Brereton alone. There’s simply no plan. He doesn’t know his best team, his tactics are muddled at best, he consistently plays 3-4 players out of position per match, the football is largely p*sh despite what the pundits will tell you. He has to go - it’s simply not good enough.
