Barnsley v Rovers, Wed 17th Feb

It would be interesting to know how many £10s Tony Mowbray has lost the club this evening. -
I haven't mentioned set pieces but we definitely have major problems scoring and defending them. That's not solely down to Mowbray but he and his staff undeniably have a part to play. I'm sure there are plenty of average height, well drilled teams in the world that could have handled that cross. Pros know exactly what needs to be done on set plays if they're lacking in height, ours aren't doing it. The poor performances are leading to individual and collective errors.

It was hardly a towering header 😂

The playoffs were a realistic goal this season and we should be putting up more of a challenge. I completely understand why there's a fear amongst fans to change the manager. Ultimately it's because they care about the club, so I'm not sure why you're getting a hard time for that. Do I think we're underachieving in terms of the quality of the squad and performances? Yes, massively and since November. In terms of league position I think we're actually overachieving given the standard of those performances. They've been pretty abysmal since the 3-0 win at Preston. The reality is we're underperforming on a weekly basis, even when we win and because of that we'll fall short come the end of the season. The QPR and Preston losses were coming. If I were the owners I wouldn't back Mowbray with any more funds as he's not getting the basics right. That can only result in one thing and it will come, it's just a matter of when. I'd take someone temporary in charge now and see how all of the players do playing in their best positions from now until the end of the season. I want a manager that overachieves and at the very least gets the best out of his squad.
-
So we should forever accept mediocracy and underachievement because of a greater fear instilled by our owners that "things could be a lot worse"? This seems to be largely the reason some fans have left for keeping Mowbray in charge. Definitely not an idea I can get behind.
-
I have a bit of sympathy for the players, it's a squad with talent that's been let down right from the very top through to the manager and the pitch. They deserved a better manager and a new pitch at Christmas. The decision not to change either right away is proving costly, as expected. Mowbray out but is anyone really listening?

The more I think about Saturday, the more I realise it was a complete tactical screw up with a very strong squad available. It's not looking good for the remainder of the season. March in particular under Mowbray is looking bleak, that said I still don't think there's an obvious replacement out there. We're going to have to accept a mid table finish this year and hope a new manager is brought in right as the season ends. The pitch and non-playing staff should be the main focus of investment this summer. The owners must deliver on that front otherwise we'll never make the grade and our talent will continue to be wasted. Over to you Venky's. -

Correct. We will hear that excuse a lot in the summer, might as well get the ball rolling now. -

@47er We are relaying the pitch in summer 🤠 -
Paul, I'd agree but he isn't leaving the business. Wishful thinking on your part.
-
He now needs to stop talking to the media, we've had two left backs all season. We are short of defensive cover either because you (Tony) failed to sign any defenders last summer and fit ones this summer OR the owner's didn't back you enough. Choose one and walk away or get the owners to back you with some permanent signings.
-
You're better off checking who the manager is, if it's still Mowbray then you know we don't have a chance.
-
That's exactly what it is.

Dig it up!!

It's a new low in recent times.

No we have an issue in Pune. -
It will be a different feel after one bobbles over Kaminski's foot on Tuesday night. We have billionaire owners today, the state of the pitch, the fact it's been allowed to get to this and the length of time it will take for them to replace it is a direct reflection of where Rovers are on their list of priorities. I doubt it will happen any time soon, although I look forward to the club proving me wrong.

Total incompetence by the owners. Maintaining the facilities and playing surface is the least you come to expect at Championship level with billionaire owners; and the management team that is too scared to push for the standards to be maintained you should not be in the positions you are. Good luck to the players on Tuesday, they deserve better. I won't be tuning in. If you don't feel like running the club properly I don't feel like supporting it properly. -

How on earth did Daniel Ayala manage to get a 3 year contract? Are the owners not realising their lack of investment up front is costing them. Spend now in moderation, to save and make money long term. It’s not a difficult business model.
