Displaced Rover

Had a bottle whizzed at my head in the away end whilst celebrating Savage's goal. Think we lost that game in the end.

I'd like us to put out a strong team in this game. So I wouldn't suggest starting a bunch of kids. I'm not really that fussed about the result, but i'd like our club to have some integrity and not do what Huddersfield did to us (when they made a billion changes to play Birmingham). This game is pivotal for Wednesday and Derby. That said, probably doesn't make a lot of sense to start any of the loan signings.

I wouldn't read anything into it. He's hardly likely to say "the club needs to sort out these bad runs but fuck if I care I'm off" is he?

Total random aside for this thread but... I loved Samba, but can't forgive him for ditching us mid relegation battle. We all know that the bald idiot shouldn't have been in charge. However, Samba could have played his heart out for the fans until the summer and then left. P.S. He'd still be more use than Ayala

These clubs should still be subject to sanctions. Hefty points deductions. Ideally you'd punish the owners not the fans but not sure how you'd do that. I do believe these Americans will come again. They don't give a shit about history and sporting integrity and they'll just see this as a temporary setback.

Just for fun I decided to have a look at the last 15 games (league only) of Mowbray and the two previous sacked managers (I've ignored Lambert). Makes grim reading for old Tony. Mowbray - P15 / W2 / D4 / L9 - 0.67 PPG Coyle - P15 / W4 / D4 / L7 - 1.07 PPG Bowyer - P15 / W3 / D8 / L4 - 1.13 PPG Interestingly both Bowyer and Coyle were sacked going into an international break so looks like we missed the boat the other week. I cannot understand how anyone with such a record is still clinging on. Man of integrity...

I might need to stop checking this thread for my own sanity. It genuinely feels like the club are deliberately trying to wind the fans up now. I was speaking to a Chelsea supporting mate earlier, who was aghast that we'd let a manager get to the stage of 1 win in 15 - they'd be on their third manager if they had a run like that! The whole thing just underlines how far this club has fallen. He should have been marched out months ago, perhaps with a little goodwill and a few fond memories for the fans. As it is now, it's starting to feel very parasitic - he's slowly creeping towards the bald dickhead in my eyes (not sure he'll ever surpass him mind...).

There's some real idiots on there. So idiotic that I'm convinced they're either club plants or Burnley fans.

17. Mucked up first first FA cup and league titles (I was convince we'd only won the old First Division once).

To be fair Lingard is playing really well for West Ham. I for one am happy we have a manager picking on form rather than who they play for.

Imagine saying that to someone back in 2010 pre Venkys...

This ref is a joke. Although tbf so are most of our team.

Such a sad indictment of where we have fallen to as a club that fucking Brentford are comfortably outplaying us at home.

Under Hughes I always felt there was accountability. The players would call each other out (in the right way) as would the manager. There was no acceptance of bad performances. I remember we often seemed to be crap in the first half at home but then (after I presume a rocket up the arse) we'd lay seige to the Blackburn End goal in the second. In this team there's no leaders and no one to set the standards. Conceding a goal means almost certain defeat. If we play badly in the first half, we're likely to play badly in the second. There's just no fight and it's so so disappointing to watch.

Absolutely. I'd kill to have Andy Todd in the centre of our defence right now. Bollocking teammates and elbow smashing opponents.

The comments on the Rovers instagram on the full time score are disgusting. The amount of happy clappers. There's one suggesting an extension... I genuinely don't think that's even a troll.

I genuinely think we are in serious trouble here. The players seem disinterested with Mowbray in charge and I just can't see the lunatics in charge getting rid of him. I'd honestly be shocked if we even limped to 50 points.

It's like some cruel torture now. Just please leave and let this nightmare end!

Just watched it. He's just talking shit/lying throughout. This is nothing more than a cash grab, I just wish the facebookers could see that.

This is a new low for the idiots in charge. Not content with dismantling Jack's legacy on the pitch, they're now going after key infrastructure...

Well there's fuck all chance of our owners ever sacking a manager on the back of a win. Sometimes you need to be a little more pragmatic in search of long term success. Anyway no point continuing to argue with someone who's contribution is one word in response to something they disagree with.

Thanks for your insight, solid discussion. I would take Rovers losing tomorrow all day if I was certain it would result in the end of Mowbray. Losing 3 on the bounce followed by a lucky win is no good to anyone. For the long term health of our football club we have to be back in the Premier League, it's the only way we'll be able to rid ourselves of the current owners. The best shot of being back in the Premier League is having a manager in place until the end of the season to assess the squad and what they need for next year. It's quite simple.

Won't be watching. Hope for 5 nil Forest, the end of Mowbray era and the chance for someone new to have the end of the season to work out what they need before a real push next year. I expect 2-1 Forest and we limp on.

Worst thing about this is the total lack of any rumours of him being under the slightest pressure. We're essentially united in wanting him gone but he's here to stay and there's nothing we can do.

Footballers are a bunch of overpaid and over protected bunch of children. They scream and shout at referees with essentially no consequences. I for one am delighted that a 6ft referee has finally put one of the jumped up little pricks in his place.
