Tony doesn’t like this.

One of Southend’s players of the year last year wasn’t he?

Not a bad shout. He's obviously a fit lad but that's the most demanding position on the pitch - big ask for a 35(?) year old.

Who is playing left wing back? Bell? He's utter sh*te. I'd prefer we give Hart a go - he really cannot be any worse. Bell is one of the most ponderous footballers I have ever seen.

Agreed and surprised anyone sees it any other way. He wins a lot because he's playing against midget left backs. Put him in the box and he doesn't attack headers whatsoever.

Good point re credit in the bank. I’ve no doubt they’ll put at least a couple past us. Difficult to see where the next win is coming from. A resurgent Hudds at home then Brum and PNE away. Can see 1 point out of that lot. I would hope the fan base would get restless at that point but I won’t hold my breath.

We got tonked there 4-1 last season and it did nothing. Didn’t we follow it up with that Wigan embarrassment too?

Aye. Lenihan always has an injury in him. Which leaves us with Tosin and Williams - guys who have never played together. Also, a youngster who has never played CB at this level and the other who has only just transitioned to be a centre half (and that’s being kind to Del after yesterday). As you say, many of us called this and it’s going to bite Tony on the arse big time. Don’t worry though, defenders are coming.

We’re an ‘attacking team’ lads, Mowbray said as much yesterday. Maybe he’s referring to the under 23s as I haven’t seen much evidence of if at first team level!

Yep. Cue build up to Huddersfield, ‘despite our poor run if we can’t beat this lot then they all need flogging, and I think we will win by 4 goals to 1.’

Never going to make it as anything more than a squad player in this league. Never a first ‘11’ man for a team aspiring for promotion. Not big enough, not strong enough and not quick enough. End of.

Watching the goals again and I was going to liken Lenihan and Williams to Peacock and Dailly - but that’d be harsh to our 90s boys! Williams for their second, Jesus Christ. Seen more strength in a kitten.

Absolutely bang on - especially the last part. I feel like I need a summer break from Rovers and it’s only bloody October! I personally feel our only chance of ridding ourselves of Mowbray is if he walks. Rovers have improved his reputation in the game ten fold after his Cov debacle. He’d clearly be loathe to say goodbye to a decent pay day, but probably knows if we nosedive he’s goosed in the game. Go soon, with his reputation intact and he could still be in with a shout of the Boro job (as an example).

Yep annoyed me too. Also how he said about us being an attacking team - or guff of a similar ilk. We created feck all, all game. Just how are we an ‘attacking team’?!

The Sharpe stand in commented how unusually brief it was too. Definitely a man feeling the heat, even if it’s not from the owners.

Sorry if it’s been posted already: https://t.co/SOThqZzCen ’We could have scored a few more’. 2 shots on target, 2 goals. What game was he watching?! Delusion is usually a sure fire sign of a man feeling the heat. Edit: apologies DE - see you beat me to it above mate.

Disgusting result and performance. Time is up for me, Tony.

Yep, seen a fair few on twitter turn today. They’ll be back onside though as soon as we win the next one.

He’s got too cushty a life with Sky these days. Imagine him on the training ground with Arma, Brereton, Evans, Bell and co poncing around. He’d be behind bars.

I’ve said it loads of times but IMO justifiably he could be deserved of the chop for spunking that £12 million alone.

Sorry to see the boys and TM repay you like this following an expensive day out. I’d avoid his post match presser if I were you as it’ll only compound matters. Get a few more beers down you.

The wheels were beginning to show signs of wear and tear - they’ve absolutely flown off today.

4-1. This thread is gonna be lively tonight.

Social media manager, Benno, will be showing us all some on Twitter tonight. Mowbray wants dragging over hot coals for our record when falling behind. Following football is all about the unknown - not with our boys.

Time up for me. He’s simple incapable of taking us forward. He’s unsure of his best team, has a terrible transfer record when spending any real money and ever since he walked through the door been unable to sort our defensive issues. And now we’re barely scoring. Writing on the wall I’m afraid. This lot are more likely to give him the boot after a winning run though, so I won’t be holding my breath.
