Our style of play has rarely been good on the eye under Mowbray. Functional is the best way you could describe it. Flashes of decent play at times, but most of the time attritional football which generally meets expectations over the course of a season but never exceeds them.

I won't be watching it on BT but they might be getting it at a very good time with Raw and Smackdown undergoing a transformation at the moment. If they've built some momentum by January then BT could be in a good position to capitalise.

Yep WWE starts on BT in January 2020. Obviously a step down for them. Probably willing to pay a fair bit more than Sky though even if the ratings are nowhere near what they used to be.

Rothwell is 24 and if he has any ambition will want to be starting games at this stage in his career. He'll undoubtedly be off by next summer unless Mowbray starts giving him more game time. How could anybody be happy being benched for a plank like Armstrong who has one good game in ten?

From what I read the breakdown in UK TV discussions was between ITV and TNT over ad time. The original plan was purportedly for AEW to air live with a replay the following day and the Sunday morning slot. Instead they've now just got the Sunday slot, which is death. I think it will get resolved and they will get a better place in the schedule, but it'll kill the early momentum right out the gate in the UK which is a shame. Smackdown will be very interesting. FOX wanted a more sports-orientated product so we're likely to see something quite different.

Honestly I'd stream it next day anyway so it doesn't affect me.

AEW have released the Dynamite intro video: https://twitter.com/AEWrestling/status/1178701033712820224?s=08 Pretty huge week for wrestling. The new Raw/Smackdown presentations with Smackdown debuting Friday on FOX, plus the debut of AEW Dynamite on TNT on Wednesday and the beginning of the 'Wednesday Night War' with NXT airing opposite on USA.

You can't really argue with those stats. Suggests an extremely fragile and weak mentality. Would suggest these figures are put to Mowbray at the next press conference but more chance of Rothwell being picked as captain than local journalists asking the manager useful questions.

We have a lot of soft lads who can't deal with adversity, hence heads dropping when we concede a goal. They didn't select or buy themselves though. The manager has filled the team with these types of players and got shot of anybody who challenges the status quo. I imagine Rothwell and Nyambe will be the next ones to be pushed out of the club.

10 games in and our second highest scorer is Derrick Williams with two. Dack leads the way with three. None of our recognised strikers have more than one and the £12m duo have zero between them - although at least Brereton has the excuse of being injured at the moment.

Some people never learn I'm afraid.

We've lost almost half of our games so far this season Chaddy, including two home defeats to teams who were in League 1 last season. I don't think we'll even get close to the playoffs, let alone actually promoted.

We've scored less goals than all of the teams above us and a fair amount of the teams below us. Conversely we've conceded less than every team below us except Brentford so whilst defence could be better I'd say scoring goals is one major problem at this juncture.

Graham isn't an impact player. He either needs to start or not play at all. No coincidence that he comes on and we actually manage a shot on target though. Before then it was only Travis' goal. Gallagher has had his chance and I'm sorry but he isn't the answer up top. I'd rather he didn't play on the wing, but right now if it's a choice between him and Graham in the striker's position then it's Graham all day long I'm afraid.

That's not what I said - shots on target. Doesn't matter how many chances you have unless you aim them between the sticks. You can't say it's a one off because it's been highlighted multiple times this season. It's clearly a problem. We don't have anybody other than Dack and Graham who are good at scoring.

We only had 2 shots on target all game so we would only have gotten a draw at best. Same problem we've had most of the season - plenty of shots, can't hit the target.

We've actually lost 4 out of 9 so far but that aside, can't see many people posting to get rid. Just disappointment over the lack of progress thus far.

Because TM always sets us up as the underdog team, no matter who we're playing. Works well against better teams at home and so far this season alright away from home, but it doesn't work when we need to impose ourselves on a lesser team. We fail to impress time and time again. We'll probably look much better on Tuesday against Forest.

Why have a winger play on the wing when you can put a striker there instead... right?

We did have that three or four hours when we were sixth. Heady days.

Sounds like he's been learning from Evans and Smallwood, just like Tony would have wanted.

So it's currently 9 league games without a goal for Gallagher and I barely remember him even having a sniff of a decent chance. When should we be a bit concerned, aerial duel prowess aside?

Are we seriously going to get beaten at home by two newly promoted teams? One was a bit embarrassing but two would be really sad.

Dat header winning ratio though. The lad seriously needs to start scoring. It's nice that he can contribute to other parts of our game but he's a £5m striker and goals are kind of important.

Meanwhile Boro getting demolished 4-1 at home to Sheff Weds.
