That's what I'm saying really. I believe a good manager would find his best position, Mowbray uses him badly.

And his best position is.......?

U23s Burnley game at Curzon Ashton??? Tameside.2.00pm on a Thursday. What the bloody ell is going on?

Manager has screwed him up

Yes, when he picks the right team. Let's be fair, our best run coincides with no Del and Ell in the team. He puts Ell back in and we lose or draw. The guy is playing us all

There is so much inconsistency in the top 6, if we would have won another 4 games we would be up there....my view is mowbrays team selections have caused us draws and defeats where a good manager would have won. Wigan at home, etc.....

I'm convinced we've been held back in over 10 games this season with Ell and Del starting. My view is the squad isnt a million miles off, a decent manager would have a better defense and therefore we would be 3rd

Not to mention the right side of the defence being all at sea.positionally at crucial times.....very poor

This and the mulgrew debacle shows how secure he feels in his position. Nobody seems to be checking him and calling into question what everyone on here is asking. Far too powerful and in my opinion nice old Tony is taking the club and fans for a ride.

Which any dumb fecker could predict. For me, Mowbray is in breach of contract and needs sacking. To completely unbalance a team on purpose in the biggest game of the season is unforgivable. Shoehorning Bennett in wherever he can, making him captain for fucks sake.......I've had enough of Mowbray. A good manager would have us 3rd by a long chalk

Yes, Mulgrew should have been in , Ryan in his rightful place and our balance would have been much better. Mowbray is prepared to feck promotion off for his petty little squabbles . Mowbray out!

He knows exactly what he's doing

Would you still start Bennett at right back and shunt the best right back in the league into a position he doesn't like playing?

Why? We owe him nothing, should be sold immediately, not good enough for the bench either

As a defender, Bell is terrible

Yep, if you think about it.....Bennett, Bell and an out of position Nyambe in the back 4. Plus Brereton and SG, which makes 5 outfield players ineffective...50% of the team. Plus the others are having an off day. Mowbray out

Bennett plays we lose, Bennett doesn't play we win.

Defenders are coming

He does have very poor technique for a professional footballer

Benno plays, we will concede, so we will need 2 or 3 today to win.

He must miss a few then

Strange isnt it. His direct managers had him for 2 years and didn't see his potential.....or are they right and he just had a worldie?

Ok, Mowbray has undermined his junior managers then who have seen him for 2 years, on the strength of a game.....

So, Mowbray doesn't look over the scholars and keep across the ins and outs......is he not sitting down with his junior managers and discussing each one in detail. Or, has he given a pro contract on the strength of one U18s game? Just shows his apathy towards young players, Nyambe and Travis perfect examples of him stunting their growth

No Benno!!
