Allegedly, we parted with a member of the team for disciplinary reasons.

Derek Shaw. Grass seed. 

Suspect we will see

Pears

Pike Lenihan Johnson Bell

Travis Davenport Dack

Brereton Butterworth Dolan

Nixon linking us to Izzy Brown if Wednesday terminate his loan

Ah ok ..so lets forget his skill ..vision and technique to put it in the back of the net from 18yards ...

No that’s the perfect bit, couldn’t have done it better 🤷🏻‍♂️

That’s football for you, opinions.

You say lucky, I say his instinct and technique is why he is who he is. 

He gets lucky with the ball and where it lands prior to striking it is which I meant though I did think that was entirely obvious?

Some really strange comments on here today, some saying what a load of crap and some like Philip with some praise, how fickle fans are and how they see games in a different perspective, however i still think Mr Mowbray needs a kick up the backside.

Dolan for me lost the ball after going past one too many.

Dack got lucky and hit it perfectly

Kipre would be likely I think 

Sam gave us Doneil Henry so it would be reasonable to think he holds no grudge. I’d have thought we’d look at Nathaniel Phillips again

He's injured.

Should still be down at the training ground now and then and as captain in the changing room rallying them? No?

Just now, Silas said:

Oh, I agree on that. All footballers should be banned throughout their career full stop.

"But you can't tell them what to do in their free time!" is the argument. 

Why not? They're stopped from drinking, clubbing, eating bad foods etc etc.

That's all in their free time. what difference is staying off a toxic social media site. I'd have it written into every contract. 

Haha you know what I mean though I’m getting old but I don’t think I’d be going round high fiving a win after watching my team I’m captain of being completely shit for five games? I’d wait to say something till we’ve had a bit of success at least and not a win at a poor Birmingham. Smacks of minimal standards

Tbf he's getting paid a hell of a wage to be the dressing room/social media motivator... I wouldn't be sulking too much either!

Where was his motivation skills over the last six games? I’m jesting here Half heartedly but you get my point. He’s the Club captain in our out of the team he’s partly responsible to get them up and motivated

It shouldn't be. The defence was the problem back then as well, not our two strikers scoring 20+ goals each in a season. We kept a clean sheet today and the goalscorers in the team did their job.  We won. It's not a difficult conundrum. 

No but that’s what I’m saying if lightning strikes twice dacky arma and Elliott score gestede and Rhodes numbers and we’ve not learnt then it’s been a huge wasted effort

Or alternatively..... nice to see a player that has (quite rightly) been booted out the squad, not sulk and spit his dummy out, but show full support to the people that are playing, and genuine joy at their success.

Rare thing I'd say in a modern professional footballer. Good on him.

Not his fault the team that does play has been awful for ages. 

Spit his dummy out he’s a professional? Dosent wash with me. It’s not our fault he’s a poor player at this level. Good ambassador I agree.

I hope they all stay off social media because the performances the last six games have been dire, I wish they were quiet and got on with the game in hand.

I knew it wouldn’t take them long.....

Lads lay off the social networks because you’ve been dogshit the last ten games, now they’re giving it Bertie big bollocks.

Goalscorers cost a lot of money. You'd have to replace them because nobody else scores. That will cost a lot of money. AA top scorer in the Championship and Dack consistently the top scorer from midfield in the division.

It’s another Rhodes Gestede debate if we don’t go up this year

Squad getting fit now. Need a Centre Half on loan ASAP. 
Nice to see some grit today.

Playoffs are not gone yet, that is a miserable take.

Last few years have shown we shit our pmts including this year at the slightest sniff of a PO Spot

Did Rothwell forget to come on ?

Probably part of a clique which has turned would be my bet

1 minute ago, matt83 said:

I would only say he’s lost the dressing room in that they’ve probably lost faith in what he’s saying and doing. But I suspect for the easy life they’d back him to the hilt. 

This the players are gutless and have an ego thinking they’re better than they are

I'd take a loss here to get rid of Mowbray.

IMO, we are truly hopeless and going nowhere but downwards.

I felt the same but didn’t want to say

Lenihan can't pass the ball. Pub league stuff. 

He’s not very good is he?

That's the thing TM has overruled the Physio department on Trav, they didn't want him near this game

Smells of desperation. Must be under pressure

You don't think Holtby and Johnson have done enough, but you think Bell has?

I think Bells a handy back up left back and should be ahead of Douglas. Certainly to be improved upon.

Johnson will be 33 this summer heading 34. Big wages which I’m sure we can put to better uses.

Holtby he can play but dosent do it often enough and the wages dilemma

Rankin Costello, Rothwell

Is certainly keep Them

4 minutes ago, SkipDonoghue said:

I don't know much but from the little I've heard the players are happy with TM, there's always players not happy when not starting but that's all clubs

The other thing I will say is I can't see TM going anytime soon, the reason being more than anything, players out of contract, the club don't need reasons for players to want out and changing managers when so many deals need to be sorted could be used by players to not renew and run contracts down and leave for free especially the so called assets 

Nyambe he’s not signing so let him go this window for whatever we can get.

Holtby I’d release think he’s not done enough

Same with Johnson

Id keep Bell

Not sure there’s anyone else OoC?

That's Tony's genius. He'll be like Cafu at RB. 

Bela will rip him for pace and take him to the byline.
