Too early to say, depends how this season ends... If we don't reach the play offs and lose most of our key players because they're either out of contract, loan ending or likely to be sold asap(bbd) then I'd say going into the summer our first team squad will be just as weak as it was when he took over, if not weaker depending on what signings are made in the summer. Other than the run we went on earlier this season there haven't really been any exciting times under Mowbray where I've felt we could seriously be on to something! even getting promoted from league one felt like more of just a relief than an achievement!

Is it Lady luck OR just poor quality training and coaching leading to all these strain injuries

Although I'm concerned that if Mowbray was sacked then his many many fanboys would take their frustrations out on whoever was brought in to replace him and just waiting for any excuse to get on their case.

Bellamy would be interesting!! It would either be great or complete Armageddon😅 Maybe something akin to when Roy Kean first took over Sunderland , Kean was great in his first year, getting the team revved up and super motivated as you'd expect from kean and promoted in his first season, but then I think his ego and old school bully boy style of man management got the better of him and things quickly went off the boil. Honestly though, I'm sick of repeating my self but Mowbray is history and we need a change...

This talk of the owners making no money available!.... We signed 2 left backs in the summer for a total of over a million (plus likely future add ons for pickering) and neither of them have impressed much at this level. Most of mowbrays permanent signings in the championship have been poor, only dack, armstrong, kaminski and Brereton have been good, but the dack, kamiski and armstrong transfers where no brainers really considering what we initially paid for them, Breretons come good for half a season after 4 years of being a kevin dabies esque puncline, but i cant see him being as prolofic next season (when he'll likebe off anyway)

Please don't tempt them 😩😩 I agree though

Roberts at least had some other good qualities, if he'd been a good finisher he would have been top class!

I don't know much about venus tbh, with Johnson i was just thinking more along the lines of him knowing our younger players very well having managed some at under 23 etc... And also having an ex rover in the dugout always gives fans a little boost initially. But honestly I'd have pretty much anyone in the dugout other than fkin Mowbray.

The fact another striker wasn't bought in the summer to replace Armstrong was poor enough! Especially when you think at that point they could never have envisaged the goal scoring run Brereton was about to go on!

The irony is that he's probably been their best managerial appointment! But he's just far over stayed his welcome and should have been potted 2 years ago.

Has to be worth getting shut of mowbray right now and giving the caretaker job to D Johnson for the remainder of the season, He literally couldn't do much worst than tm. I wouldn't trust the venkys to hire a good replacement manager in a short space of time, so best just getting a caretaker for now so we can take our time searching for a more promising replacement manger (although in reality! I'm under no illusions that the owners would just give the caretaker/cheapest option the job permanently should they win a few of the remaining games)

Well at least he's got himself somebody else to blame again. Mowbray out Waggot out Venkys sort it out!

Thanks,yeh sorry just misunderstood your initial post. Wouldn't that have been something to look forward to in the summer 🙄😩😄

Yeah but! SUTTON OR NEWELL, WHICH ONE WAS BETTER? Only kidding, great post and I like im sure many others still remember the huge personal sacrifices you made to help get shut of kean etc... Just a shame that the club and fanbzse has never recovered from everything that went on it's just left a huge void where hope used to be

Ahh get ya, what a waste of money! Even on a free he's still a waste of a salary if he's not going to be used

Hedges was a panic buy!? We seemed to have been chasing him forever and negotiations to bring him in appeared to have started right at the beginning of the transfer window (if not earlier) More like a shady looking poor buy

Errr not really disagreeing with you but just to point out that Jack walker always had big say(and the final say!) in transfer decisions whilst he was owner There's even some pretty infamous examples of potential signings that he vetoed for one reason or another

He's done for here regardless of how the season pans out now. And good riddance. (just my feelings)

Sorry i don't do twitter at all! What was said? Cheers

I think like after the fulham battering it took the fans getting on their case for the team to up their game just as it did today when they came out after half time. Clearly nothing bloody wetwipe mowbray and his cronies say in the dressing room really motivates them

He's been the real break out star this season, never mind Brereton.

Yeah lowe was a different level of awful! He literally just ran back and forth like a headless chicken but never made a real challenge or did anything positive when he had the ball

We'd do better just to stick gallagher up front on his own with just one player behind him then overload the midfield areas, we have to get right back to basics Formation wise.!

Ya dreamin bud. Not even kidding, history has shown that this clown of a manager is far more like to switch to an even more defensive formation
