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.

He's past it. Offers very little going forward or defensively imo. I'm not sure why he is making the starting 11. Then again John Obi Mikel made it look easy enough.

More than likely 10 points off the playoffs now. They are over. Even if we were to get in, how would you win them with this guy in charge?

I struggle with the Buckley not a footballer comments. He's definitely one of our brighter prospects, with good technical ability and can weight a pass very well. If he could learn to shoot I'd be happy enough.

That would be excellent news!

The only reason I understand for not sacking him is the lack of an obvious replacement.

He has lost the fans, something that most club owners respond to naturally by sacking the manger. Not ours.

Got to go. Time for a manager with defensive contacts (coaches and players).

Today was a good example of our league troubles and it's largely because we have a completely one dimensional manager, and a restricted budget. Just like our reserve keeper and seemingly unusable centre back - you get what you pay for, Mowbray was cheap and we've got everything we can out of him. It's no good saying you were simply unable to break down a side a division lower. You should be able to, you have to be able to and if you can't you must be made accountable for why your team can't. He is now repeatedly saying "we were unable to break them down" yet approaches every fixture or style the same way. He is the reason we're not getting results against teams that are worse than ours. It's not down to bad luck and sadly it will continue in the league with or without new defenders. I like the guy and wanted him to take us up but he isn't capable. The failures this season are down to Mowbray and the owners. One of them must take responsibility and make a change.
