Quite. And it all comes to Mogga bugger all.

Well, there you have it, Mogga's pre-match talk must be inspiring! We only get going for the last half hour, probably when we're behind. Suggests we do indeed set out not to lose, rather than set out to win eh @DaveyB

Well Mowbray thinks Hudds style will suit as they will attack us and leave holes. Hopefully he's right.

Why Mowbray feels Huddersfield Town's style will suit Rovers | Lancashire Telegraph If it wasn't for the opposition we'd beat everyone. He's also on about the 'journey' again.

They remind me of Rovers under Venkys in the early days. 5 managers in 18 months for Sheff Weds.

How often do we get to the byeline and cross it into the 6 yard box? We have amongst the highest shots in the Championship but they are rarely clear-cut chances.

7-10 days according to Mogga

Tony Pulis sacked by Sheffield Wednesday after 10 games in charge | Football | The Guardian For being a bit shit.

Tony Pulis sacked by Sheffield Wednesday after 10 games in charge | Football | The Guardian That's what happens if you can't beat Rovers!

There was talk of a 'circuit breaker' on the Quest highlights the other night. Being discussed apparently. A Govt update due on Weds regarding all things Covid, wouldn't be a surprise to see all fixtures postponed for a month or so.

Never chop your end off.

You definitely wanted him sacked last season though, right?

Did you not do that last season?

You've got one to be fair. They just aren't managed very well.

Boro and Watford included. They are clearly no mugs. Tough game which will potentially make it only 1 win from 7 for us. I wonder when/if Venky's will get twitchy...

Is that him with the bouffant of a hair-do? 2nd to the far end with an olive looking jacket? Or is that a woman?

Interesting stat in the LT the other day. Because we have so much possession we don't give away many chances for the opposition to score (which in fairness to Mowbray he did say a while ago that was the reason he wanted to go to a possession-based game), but the ones we do give away they invariably score from. That says everything about his defence.

That's the great unknown really. You'd think at some point they'd realise it's just not going to happen with Mowbray, but it really depends on their ambition. Owning a club, having a nice bloke running the show and not being fleeced by dodgy geezers might be all they aspire to. Who knows?

In their last 13 matches, Rovers have now managed just two goals in the opening half an hour, before a fifth consecutive first half passed them by without a goal. On Dack's day, were Rovers shown respect or been worked out? | Lancashire Telegraph

Watch the games in future and see how many men we get in the box. Invariably the ball goes back to the full-backs from Elliot/BB/ etc because there's just AA in the box so there's no point crossing it in. And we were discussing getting hit on the break - a hoof forward is not that. It also doesn't prove we're putting them under pressure at the other end.

You're right - we've scored in the first 15 minutes in a massive 3 games this season.

In all league games we've scored 14 goals in the 1st half this season. 6 of those came against Wycombe and Derby. That makes it 8 first-half goals in the other 19 games. Hardly 'front-foot'.

Sunderland has 13 players missing yesterday due to Covid.

That's just not true is it. A hoof forward to the chuckle brothers (to me- to you), who inevitably mess it up, is not being hit on the break. right back atcha.

It was what made his 'we always start on the front foot' spiel of the last two seasons so laughable. Mowbray starts with the intention not to lose games, he doesn't start with the intention to win them. Hence the shitty 1st half performances. He's a reactive manager - safety first, men behind the ball, and only change if its going wrong. His plan B is to allow a couple more to get forward. This season we looked like we actually would get on the 'front foot' and attack teams from the off. Maybe the loss of Travis has been a bigger blow than anyone imagines so looking forward to pressing teams high up the pitch again when he's back.
