Really wish we had just signed Cunningham
-
For this instance I’d play downing in at lb. bell has never fully convinced and I just think it’s a mistake waiting to happen. Williams is horrible at left back and deserves to be centre after displays. my team would be walton nyambe lenihan williams downing rothwell travis johnson chapman dack gallagher but we all know Bennett will be right back

Was working sadly so didn’t watch live but recorded and watched the full game so thoughts- great 3 points, always love an away victory. I’d say at the moment that was a battle between two mid table champ teams, we aren’t ballsy enough to grab teams by the throat and destroy them racking up a big victory but we can dig deep for 1-0 victories which we couldn’t do last season. We don’t look as flimsy holding onto a lead so mowbray gets some credit for improving the spine. Player thoughts- cunningham, wow, what a difference, sign him up. An ever bigger impact than reed. Bennett- you know what he wasn’t horrible but grosicki has him. He simply isn’t a right back, that’s not his fault it’s mowbrays. For me rb has to be number 1 position for transfer. I don’t think nyambe is the answer and we have seen what a difference Cunningham makes. Walton- I think he is a slight upgrade on rays for calmness alone. I know it’s not a long term answer but yea he will do. Good pen save. Johnson- love his aggression and that he can strike a ball. Hate his sloppiness in our own half, he is going to be the cause of many goals against. Needs to sharpen up. williams- I have slated him so much, but you know what, I’m changing. At centre back, he was brilliant. My mom. Take it back del, your not horrific. Downing- again I was against this signing purely because of his age, always thought he had good ability. His calmness and control is incredible though, so I take it back, I’m glad he is here. I’m a downing fan. travis- I thought he was a bit poor despite others raving. He made an incredible tackle on Bowen but his passing was very sloppy. Gave the ball away a lot and doesn’t look the same travis that burst into the team. I’m critical because I rate him and I think he is better than this showing. Gallagher- thought he was a handful. Needs to get in amongst the goals tho. Should’ve headed at goal. But I like him. Armstrong- frustrating wee bugger. Don’t quite know what I think of him to be honest. Not sure he has ‘it’ upcoming- cardiff, I’m devastated Cunningham can’t play else I’d be pretty confident of making it 3. Would honestly play hart left back as bell is as good as starting -1 goal. Mowbray- you have a long way for me to want you here but that was a effecient performance. Nout better than winning. Keep it up

Nice to get a win, hopefully first of many -

A win and mowbray buys some time, a draw and there is still uncertainty, a loss and the crowd turns and he is on thin ice, a loss by more than two- untenable and has to go tonight -
Few loans out to come
-
More meaning games that I was full of confidence we would win and wanted us to win badly. The Celtic Eufa cup game was the other as I’m from Glasgow and I was wanting bragging rights so bad. Special mention to the Newcastle fa cup defeat replay when Lee Clark broke my heart too

Cannot lose. Quite simply -
Trelleborg, gee thanks for reminding me of that one. One of only two nights I was deeply hurt by a rovers defeat
-
All is not well with Tony, falling out with folk that he used to be loyal too, his inner circle is getting tighter and smaller. Making some quite simply barking decisions in both transfer market and tactics, there is those in the inside that want a change and those who are scared that if he went they would too. Mowbray is getting jumpy tho, despite his strong position with waggot, I think it’s unlikely he is still here in a year
-
That was pretty ill advised that episode to be honest, I think he should stay off it
-
I’d take losing this to can mowbray, he is sucking the enthusiasm from me at the moment. Change needed
-
Not going to lie to you, I was never overly keen on his appointment. I live in Scotland and his reputation up here is of a joke figure after his disaster at Celtic. Not to mention his poor spell at Coventry subsequently. I just don’t see him as an attractive appointment. He in turn took us down- yes it was a big ask but he could’ve pulled it off being a bit braver. He got us up but I would argue any average manager would’ve got our squad up that season- I don’t buy the look at Sunderland , Leeds argument. It’s a poor league and with even a bit of know how and money you can get out it. Last season he blew the transfer windows, having got us in a position to challenge top 6 he threw it away. He has never sorted our defence which has been lacking since early bowyer days. His tactics are defensive and unadventurous. His substitutions never seem to work. For all the nonsense that he likes to play good football I see nothing but hoofball the last few seasons. He shows blind loyalty to players whose talent don’t deserve nor warrant it. He can’t attract players a bigger name would. For some reason he hasn’t started European scouting until recently. Which to me says he is a 90s dinosaur of a manager. If you look at the top teams in the champ and lower end prem, most have a foreign manager with a good background at a top club and bring new methods and ideas or young up and coming managers who are hungry and passionate. Tone just stands by showing no passion and even his voice his monotone, it’s doesnt excite or grab me. So yea that pretty much sums up why I don’t rate him. oh and we have lost our first two games and 2019 has been a disaster in terms of results generally
-
Think it’s a big game next week, simply cannot lose or mowbray might start getting some serious heat. Personally I think his time is up already but for the lovers it might be time

Mulgrew to rangers hahahaha iv heard it all now. No no no way I’m hell would Mulgrew play for rangers , he buys Celtic memorabilia still to this day. -
Is there a thread for horses? I like a flutter on them and will happily take any tips going
-
I like Gallagher but when I see we could’ve got Hugill or Hogan , I think they would’ve been a better option for us
-
Defensive wing backs, between defence and midfield. Where has he played so far for us? Left back. Can’t argue with facts
-
Did I? Don’t think I did mate. I said he will defo play at times at lb or as a defensive left wing more than an attacking element.
-
I take it downing came on as a left back, ha. I mind I got scoffed at for saying that was going to happen
-
Not a chance he will walk, this is his last payday in football. i said I would give it 10 games but after the transfer window debacle and teams/ tactics so far I’m sorry but mowbray would you just F off. Let Johnson to take this team forward. Stagnating and reversing now, the mowbray way
-
Fulham 4 rovers 1 , Tosin to lose confidence after one game. Can see it now
