Sky nearly cut the feed just before the final wicket. Phew!

I wouldn't be surprised to see Trevor Sinclair here.

Christmas Stocking money.

Finally confirmed, the reason why Bess finally got the nod over Parkinson.?

Can I be the first one to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas 2020 ??

Let's pretend Mowbray does the right thing. Which club would take Brereton on loan? I'd say there would have to be favourable terms for them - ie. With Rovers continuing to pay his wages. As a continued viewer of the EFL goals show I note that there are actually some decent finishers in the 3rd and even the 4th division. So I can't see many teams taking a punt unless it's basically a 'freebie'.

So he is STILL here? ? Thanks for the response ?

I don't think they have a clue personally. Though taking the 'they might be sceptical of giving a manager money to spend'. In that case, surely the solution is to find a more trustworthy manager?

Lol. Completely true. England is tiny. When you've been to (or lived in massive country) this really hits home. Try 14 hours on a bus just to reach the next City. ? Far too many snowflakes and excuse monkeys in little England.

When I have time I'm seriously going to make the Tony or Tosh? quiz.

I must say I'm in favour of changing the OT law. Something just doesn't sit right with one offense winning the game with a TD without letting the other have a right of reply.

I think between us we've probably already done more post game analysis than Tony T and the boys.

I don't think they'll have a dodgy 2nd string keeper in against us. But we don't have much of a choice.

I haven't got a clue what's going on most of the time. With all the chopping and changing during the games as well as before I can hardly tell if people are playing out of position or whether Tony T just moved them there for a few minutes to 'see what happens'. ?

"strength is coming".

As it's an FA Cup game there is no coverage on iFollow. The furthest the BBC highlights footage goes back is to the screen-shot here . . . . ?

But Williams came on on 39 minutes and Birmingham's first goal was scored 35 minutes before that. So . . .

There's nothing like a good still. If you freeze frame some of our efforts at defending the 2 goals today the positional play looks shocking ?

What's he been doing out on the right wing? Is that something Tony's been working on in training? If you look back at the first goal we conceded today, Tosin was caught way out of position and was running back towards the goal instead of engaging earlier - it looked like Johnson was covering for him. In the end they both ended up stood on the edge of the penalty box as the goal scorer just waltzed towards them unleashing a free shot.

The game was much more entertaining than Wolves v Man Ure. Help!

Surely the people that are working close with a player several times a week should have a far better idea of any 'mental state' than people that might (or might not) look at his happy photos on social media. Poor effort to blame fans for a bit of a boo.

Mowbray and his team aren't doing a very good job then. Crap players sometimes get booed - even ironically. I don't think anyone checked if Chris Brown was going through anything at the time or even cared.

He was pulling his shirt too. Blatant.

The Player Ratings are in: Leutwiler 2 - Jeez Louise! Stinks like cheese. Did reasonably okay on crosses and punches though looked a bit shaky at times. Went down like Paul Robinson on horse tranquillisers for the first goal (hardly a long range rocket) and we all know about the 2nd which was as bad as anything I've seen. Ultimately lost the game. Bennett 4 (sub off 39) - Nothing special from Captain fantastic, hardly noticed any difference after he went off. Williams 4 (sub on 39) - Derrick is Derrick and gave a normal Derrick like performance. I have no idea what was going on at the end. He ended up more in a left back position diving in as the Brum player ghosted past him before laying it off to Bela to pass back to (and through) The Canadian. Tosin 5 - What's happened to him? Didn't do anything rash in his own half but he made some appalling passes which we didn't see before his 'injury', the worst being when he ended up on the right wing then passed it across the middle of the pitch straight to a Brum player - setting up a break). Ended up making a half hearted attempt to close down for the first goal. Though in his defence the midfield was appalling. Lenihan 5 - Okay defensively.Though Brum were so bad he hardly had anything to do. Bell 4 - Rubbish. We all know he can't defend. Apologies if I missed something with the tactics at the end. But was he supposed to be playing left wing. He certainly wasn't in the left back position as Brum scored the winner from that side. Armstrong 6 - Was all over the game. Scored the pen of course. Would have had 2 if it wasn't for an appalling refereeing decision. Might have even had a hat-trick but unfortunately he had a starring part in The 3 Stooges and The 3 Yards. Johnson 4 - Largely anonymous. Proved me right again as a potential defensive liability. Played his part in giving away the opening goal as he just stood and watched Crowley waltz towards him when in the best position to close down. Downing (sub off 78) 7 - Probably our best player. Put some wicked crosses into the box in the first half though ultimately wasted with Bambi and Bambi's disabled son getting nowhere near them. Bizarrely substituted as he didn't look like he was tiring (as he has done in a few games). Buckley (sub on 78) 4 - We all know he's too lightweight. Got brushed off the ball far too easily so made any pass to him look like a pass straight back to the opposition) Rothwell 5 - Not the worst. Looked lively but as we all know he can't shoot and his end product was again severely lacking when needed. Not defensively sound either, though of course that's not what he's there for. Brereton (sub off 57) 3 - (would have got 1 less, but he didn't give 2 goals away). Like starting with 10 men. No football brain at all - which can help you if you're not gifted in other areas. More than played his part in The 3 Stooges and The 3 Yards which basically summed up his whole time here. Rightly subbed off, though it should have been at half time. Loan him to League 1 now, how long are we going to persist with this nonsense. He is not going to improve at this level. Chapman (sub on 57) 4 - What's up with him? Still has the pace, but you feel he's suffering from all this not playing/rotation bollocks. Tried to do too much in a bid to impress and most of the time he ran fast and ran the ball out of play. He also looks weak and was easily shouldered off the ball. Gallagher 5 - A trier at least (but they used to say the same thing about crap schoolboy players). Had more about him than Brereton and won the penalty. But, hell, his finishing is appalling, he is simply NOT a goal scorer. He missed 4 guilt edged chances - including the 3 Stooges and The 3 Yards scuff. FOUR!!. So his misses ultimately cost the game as much as Leutwiler

There's plenty enough quotes to put together a 'Trump or Hitler style' who said what quiz. Tony or Tripe? You'd have to be a Mastermind expert on Tony T to get anywhere near a good score.
