£48 if you wanted to turn up today and sit in the Jack Walker, that is utterly, utterly ridiculous for a club like us. The fact a few folk are trying to justify it because you ‘can just save up’ or ‘it’s fine because Sheff Wed charged us £36 last season’ is just as bonkers (though not when you see who it is).

He’s right in one sense, if you’d have asked most folk at half time they wouldn’t have wanted him sacked. Obviously that survey is skewed due to the fact we’d just put in a good first half performance. But for me I still witness a very sizeable constituency of support for TM at games. I can foresee some rows erupting in the stands on Saturday if it looks like another defeat...

‘We have more attacking talent than I can ever remember from a Rovers squad and that is testimony to Mowbray’s signings. There have been flashes and signs of progression and I trust Mowbray to find more consistency. Considering what he has rescued the club from, I believe he deserves the chance to see this project through. Kelvin Wilkins ‘ Kelvin is about 11 years old then, I take it?

Sure that article gets re-released every year...

Almost £500 that would set you back on Saturday

Jim Wilkinson who’s an ex journo himself has tweeted...

£48 (FORTY EIGHT POUNDS) if you turn up on the day and choose the Jack Walker...

Many club’s have a decent infrastructure, often said infrastructure is improved by the manager, fair play to him for the work he has put in, but he isn’t the Sporting Director. The buck stops with him for results on the pitch. If he can no longer get a tune out of the players he has to go. And his record over the last THIRTY games (not 6) is relegation form.

I don’t, he’d be telling us to ‘get real’ first.

Bundles don’t work here, they never have, but the club keeps on with them.

You honestly expect the likes of Dunn or Gallagher, ex players that live locally and work with the club to publicly call for the manager to be sacked?

Going to be a piss poor gate on Saturday you’d wager with any floating fan who simply wants to buy a Sheff Wed ticket being charged up to £48 for the privilege...

Those sessions watching Evans and Smallwood play centre mid properly have obviously paid off...

I’d had a few pints but unless I was mistaken I so ZERO subs warming up second half.

9 wins in 31 since the debacle at Brentford. 32 points in 31 games. Relegation form.

I never pay attention to pundits, at our level nobody ever does a bad job and they protect each other. He gets sacked, and a new guy turns it around, said pundits are the first to agree a change was needed and this new fella is the best thing since sliced bread. Was ever thus.

Possibly, whatever it was, it wasn’t a fan base turning on the manager.

I say a few as there were plenty clapping too. Wigan (Ince), Barnsley (Coyle) away it weren’t, and I don’t think it ever will be for TM, just like it never really was for Bowyer.

Our hard earned reputation went down the plug hole the day Williams et al were forced out. A decade of rubbish on and we are now a small time irrelevance to most in the game.

The players were booed by a few as they tried to come over is all I heard, didn’t hear any anti Mowbray chants...

? That was the point I was making! There are these diamonds out there, blowing £7 million on ‘potential’ is a crazy way to operate for a club like us, Preston’s ‘model’ seems to be working much better from where I’m standing.

Bullied by Stockley, brought in from Exeter. Barkhuisen scores two... from Morecambe. Shows what proper management can achieve at this level...

Very simple, that year in League 1 has lowered expectations to such an extent that 18th in the Championship is good enough for plucky little Rovers. Relegation was a godsend for TM.

Just like with the players, it shows the folly of giving mediocre pros long contracts.
