12 days ago Wigan got a 1-1 draw against top of the table West Brom

Top class player

At the Xmas period every side is likely to be making some changes. With 5 wins and a draw from 6 games Mowbray does not have to "justify" anything - the standard of his decision making speaks for itself.

Yes - I didn't comment on the team selection either. Whilst everyone is entitled to their opinion, when you are playing again after 3 days it is always worth remembering that the manager and coaching staff will have information available to them regarding fitness and recovery characteristics for each player that we do not have and that will help to drive the selection.

A great win that just underlines how good Tony Mowbray is - the team selection and substitutions were spot on again

No idea but I do know that the two best managers in English football - Guardiola and Klopp - have had players sent off this season. Sendings off happen to everybody.

You can't hold one sending off against a manager. If it was happening a lot then it would be reasonable to say that the manager needs to address it - but the occasional sending off is an occupational hazard

Yes - against 10 men he is much the best bet to open up the opposition

Swansea blow hot and cold but I would have thought that this was a reasonably good result - we are not going to win every game we play

Sad news coming out that Jim Smith has passed away. A good manager and a good football man

Glad to hear that like me you are really happy with the way things are going

But if we lost 4 games in a row - imagine what people would be saying then.

I think the "holier than thou" people took exception to some of the unpleasantness that was directed at the manager and are justifiably taking pleasure in seeing him doing well. At least one poster described Mowbray as "corrupt" - a disgraceful remark - and others claimed he was not a nice person.

Rooney will clearly be the manager at some stage in the next 6 months

Yes - and he kept faith with the likes of Evans and Armstrong because he is his own man.

Do you seriously think that Mowbray - or any other manager - pays any attention to what know - nowts on a messageboard are saying ?

5 wins from 6 now - and every reason to think this can continue. Credit to Tony Mowbray for sticking to his guns.

The club had the good sense to stick with the manager

Another great win. 4 from 5 now as Tony Mowbray continues to work his magic

Good win for the Bills at Dallas. On another note I can't remember ever watching as entertaining a player as Lamar Jackson who is redefining the role of quarterback. MVP. MVP . MVP

Another very good win and nice to see the manager getting credit

Yes - he comes out of the interview very well

What will happen if Walton has a blinder and Raya has a stinker ?

I've seen the league table for starters. We are seven points clear -compared with eight off the playoffs(for which I don't think we have any prospects at all). I go back to the mid 60s as a supporter and so have experienced my fair share of relegations. This team does not "feel" like a relegation side; grabbing late winners as we have done twice this month is what relegation sides just don't do and whilst I take your point that visually we don't look that good an ability to eke out enough good results should keep us away from any serious difficulties.

Yes - good point. The only way realistically it is going to turn is to get back to the Premier League
