As much as I am seriously worried about.. a) Our results b) Tony's over loyalty for some players and unfairness on others - Rothwell - today's criticism is criminal c) the fact we dont have a decent scouting network - nothing in Europe - again absolutely criminal I would give him till next season and see how he is progressing as we approach the Jan 20 transfer window.. if he chops the guys who are clearly not up to this league and brings in some quality.. we have some decent youngsters.. we could be play off or above material

Got to agree with this... I do think the self entitlement mentality of fans where they can say what they like just because they have paid their £20 is very unhealthy.. Wouldn't be allowed in any other walk of life.. I mean are people really that unhappy??

Although I'm as miffed as everyone the minimum expectation this season was to keep us up.. and it's likely that he's done that.. I personally believe he should be given the summer to bring in some more players to with a revised minimum target of mid table for next season and the season after that the next step up.. we all know it takes a few windows to build the team to what is required. We clearly need at least 2 x CB's 2 x LB's and 1 x RB to ensure we have a squad that's capable. We will also need reinforcements up front including for Dack as he will inevitably be leaving. There have been times where we have played good football and I do think his mantra of 6 x Defensive players with 3 x attackers (ideally with 2 x speedsters) and strong man up front could be a winning formula for us in this division but right now it's all going wrong as he has been over loyal to league 1 / relegation championship players on the whole!

The only silver lining right now is this should make everyone realise we need an overhaul in the summer!

Where can this be watched?

No Nyambe shocking

I haven't seen anything that means he should be out of favour.. tbh he's been really good when he's played.. Bennett has had his day.. we need to be progressing and Tony needs to be slightly more ruthless in my view

Absolute disgrace this lad didn't come on after his performance last week... the ineffective Conway.. again

Shame on them the chavs.... absolutely no need!!!

Just got home... I thought they were really really impressive... how come they are only 17th in the league?? I thought their no 21 was really good... I think we are a decent mid of the league team.. if we want to progress we need significant improvements in my view.. Having a chunk of league 1 players in the championship just isn't going to work.. we need a few premier league players with a big chunk of championship players if we want to kick on. Please don't play Bennett there again Mowbray also am I the only one who spent rate Lenihan... Also what's the obsession with Conway.. he's had one good game in the last 12 months... typical Mowbray over loyal.. Rothwell should deservedly be gutted

Came very highly rated so be interesting to see how he gets on

Travis sets the tone for the team in my view Reed enhances is.. would be better in cm but is great everywhere tbh Rodwell has brought calm to the defence which was much needed Also really impressed with the effort from Dack Great to see the competition for places increasing... Mulgrew / Nyambe / Rothwell / Nuttal

Agreed Bennett should not be at RB.. Tony really needs to stop being over loyal.. it's a sign of weakness

The turning point was taking Armstrong off in my view.. he was our most potent threat and they were terrified of him.. Personally think terrible decision by Tony.. On the whole I was pleased with out performance

Another really good game.. buy he looked tired towards the end.. credit to the lad for the long busting run when they scored their 4th.. could see the strain on his face.. Today will be a good part of his education Future captain

Travis!!! Made that!!!

Reed and Travis should be our perm CM partnership with 2 x wingers either side.. Ben Danny and Armstrong fighting for the one place unless we go two up top

Bell is way too lethargic

We desperately need some wingers

Ben if you or any of your family or coaching staff are reading this and missed the game... then please take note!

Surprised at how quickly he gives up...That for me is unforgivable...

We have a mindset / mentality issue and it's purely down to the management... The specifics are.. Beginning of last season when we thought we would win the league we were awful and needed a metaphorical kick up the rear to kick on.. Every game where we have had an advantage wether it be a goal up or another factor we have taken our foot off the pedal.. whenever we go a goal up we sit back... Leadership is all about motivation and right now Mowbray and team are falling short

It's a no lose situation... he's expected to lose V this lot.. but sending out a strong message and also an opportunity for the guys he has put in today..

Ben B and Palmer... a total disgrace today!! Tony = championship draw specialist that's it...

Where is Gestede these days? I would take him over Gallagher
