This summer may be the best chance we have to get shot while someone will pay similar to what we did while his stock is still relatively high(ish).

Not quite as bad re Rothwell second time around listening but IMO his digs need to be aimed elsewhere. How some of our ‘men’ have been getting away with it I do not know.

So we’ll get murdered in two weeks at Villa Park then will we Merce?

As we all are! Even Mercer could predict a nailed on relegation for next season unless serious changes are made in the summer.

For all Mowbray’s rollocks about ‘bringing in the right characters’ he hasn’t brought in one leader. Just posted it in the match thread but watch our reactions for each SW goal. Bennett as captain material is laughable. I would say leadership needs to be our number one attribute for signings this summer, but let’s face it would you trust TM to get it right? I wouldn’t.

Yep. Called him a kid, basically said he can’t be trusted and brushed off Bayes’ optimism about him!!! Just seen the goals. Christ on a bike. The lack of marking. Most galling is the players’ reactions to conceding each time. Heads down, shoulders slumped. Watch Bennett’s for their second (believe it’s the second). He’s the captain for feck sake!!!!

Noticed that TM’s latest player dig was at Rothwell (Radio Lancs interview post match). Not for his performance today but still - why the heck did he need to give him a public rollicking when he was probably our best player today? So that’s now Raya and Rothwell, all while the likes of Del Williams keep getting a pat on the back.

All he needs to do is get our lineup set up against a height chart to realise that the opposition will target us aerially time and time again. Piss poor management. We’re not Barcelona who can get away with it. It’s the championship FFS.

Blame squarely at TM’s door for relying on the injury prone Mulgrew and Rodwell (who are both awful defenders anyway). Lenihan’s had a couple of long lay offs too. Rank bad management to let the only lad who likes a header in Downing to leave.

It won’t - I wish people would stop saying this. He’s been sidelined for the odd match but comes back in time and again. Mowbray is as weak as a kitten when it comes to dishing out punishment.

Predicted it earlier - can’t see us winning until Bolton at the end of April. Some very tough fixtures coming. Villa are going to run absolute riot against our powder puff boys.

You can forgive the odd defensive collapse but it’s happening every single fecking week. He simply cannot and will not sort it out so for me has to go. January was simply unforgivable - many of us here warned of it at the time and its bitten him on the arse majorly.

We’re going to be treated to a belter of a Benno tweet after his first goal in donkeys years. Don’t worry about the 4 conceded though, Elliot - or the crap you’ve personally served up all season.

4-1. Great stuff, lads.

I just cannot fathom how Mowbray has allowed us to get in this defensive mess. We’ve never been good defensively under him but to allow what happened in January is beyond rank bad management. It’s so so easy for teams to score against us - don’t worry about scouting us lads, just chuck some big buggers up for set pieces and you’ll be golden.

Sorry to break the news but we’re shite going forward too.

Another 3 conceded. Pitiful defending again. FFS. And repeat.

Can’t see us winning until Bolton late April. Brace yourselves for another shocker of a run and more TM bemoaning our defending without having the foggiest as to what to do about it.

I say it again and again and again but it’s the same shite different week. We just do not learn. He quite clearly cannot organise a defence despite being a centre half himself. Embarrassing. Sick of it.

Yet TM waxing lyrical about him this week. He’ll be in the side next season come what may unfortunately.

Yet you predicted another victory today. Less of the wind up eh?

Be a tough game - Bruce has got them firing as expected. Hopefully Magloire gets another run out - how tall is he incidentally? The big CB we've needed (for now) or is he more of a mobile centre half?

Feck.

Why not let DG go for his hat trick? Let’s see if we can hold on to this.

As I said - Reed and Travis look to actually be an awful partnership.
