Well, at least we didn't have two players and our manager sent off.

A quick reminder that personal attacks aren't allowed. Keep it civil. Not sure I'd call Bowyer recent, but with that said I'm sure Mowbray did something like this and I've just forgotten. I just hated the inevitability of the last ten minutes. So obvious what was coming. Heads just totally went, with Sheff Utd piling forward, summed up by Morton and his nonsense. Ref still the biggest factor in the result though. We should have been playing 10, and I don't think we lose if so.

We got away with not taking our chances against Leicester. We didn't today. JDT meanwhile blew it spectacularly with his subs. Hard to remember a recent game where a manager has so brutally sabotaged his own team. Should be remembered that Sheff Utd should have played most of this match with 10 though. The ref was their 12th man today. Not that they'll care, as we wouldn't. Another sickening day to be a Rovers supporter under Venkys.

A combined bottlejob of epic proportions from the manager and the team.

Same old story. Don't take chances, pay the price.

Make some changes, shore things up and try to nick a third as Sheff Utd flood forward to try and equalise.

Literally anyone else.

Defensively abject since the second half started. It's a matter of time as things stand.

Take Gallagher off, please.

Bloody hell lads, let's not let them start walking through us eh?

Decent half from both sides. Penalty aside we should have at least one more from Hyam's really poor free header attempt. Ref seems a bit overwhelmed by the occasion. Some strange decisions and Sheff Utd should be down to 10.

I love how whenever a corner goes in the box there's always some random bloke yelling "AWAY"... as if the defenders aren't aware they need to get the ball out of their own box.

Got to do better than that.

That's how I remember it as well. Disappointed to see him go, but very happy with what they got for him. All parties satisfied.

Big, big win. Did well to recover from that sucker punch. Our fantastic home form continues.

Meh, Bucko got sent off for bouncing a ball off somebody's head. Let's call it balancing out things and, again, unlucky Incey.

Unlucky Incey. Now just hold on lads, big win if results stay as they are...

Well, at least they aren't beating us 3-0 this time... progress?

Hanley doing us a favour with an OG, still fighting for the cause behind enemy lines. Good lad. Need Bristol City to help us out now.

Boro within 3 points of them now and with equal GD... they may well outdo us for throwing away an automatic spot - we were never as far ahead of 3rd as they were. In terms of the teams around us winning, not really a surprise. WBA playing Cardiff who are horrendous, Norwich playing Huddersfield who seem to have accepted relegation about three months ago, and Luton playing a Bristol City team who have only managed 4 away wins all season (although we only have 6 wins, so can't really say much). Luton most likely to get pegged back as Bristol at least have a few away draws under their belt...

4 now... their bonding session doesn't seem to have had the desired affect.

They've put him in the wrong position anyway. If Mowbray was manager he'd be out on the right wing.

If Stoke are promoted to the Prem again one day and the opportunity arises, I'm sure it could happen. That scenario aside I don't really think there's any chance in the near future, at least not until Brereton's career is winding down and he's potentially entering free agency around the time he hits 32/33. One has to imagine at this point in time he's aiming a lot higher than moving to another team in the same league, who have finished below us in four of the last five seasons.

National League as a bare minimum imo.

You see it quite often in the FB groups too. As soon as we lose a match or our form dips it's "told you all to be careful what you wished for, disgraceful treatment of TM coming back to bite you all now" etc. Still no JDT flags as far as I'm aware. Why exactly did we have those for Mowbray? That was proper cult of personality stuff and I never understood it. Summed up where we were as a club and as a majority fanbase at that point though - all hail our humble lord and saviour. For the record, despite being baffled by the above I don't hate or despise Mowbray. The way his final season ended, combined with his disparaging remarks towards the club since leaving, do leave a very sour taste in my mouth though. Those snidey comments about Dack as well a few months ago, trying to undermine JDT... nice bloke. Yeah, right.
