Rothwell is a big miss for us Today. I don’t mind Johnson, but he’s not Rothwell. Good to see Tony Parks with the league cup, nice touch.

People often say you don't notice the ref when things are going well Dan, but we had some absolute dross even when we we're winning!

I don't think I've seen worse referring, on a consistent basis, as we've seen in this division over the past few years Tony. Maybe it just seems that way, but we've seen some absolute dross working the games.

That is some play on words Mercer, I'm not sure your defence would stand up in court 😉 Anyway, neither me or you can influence these moronic owners, we just have to hope they have actually got this managerial appointment right and he takes us up. I'm sure you'll be happy to dish out the humble pie if that happens.

The club isn't worth its salt, its run by morons. Lets not forget, you wanted managerial heavyweights like Wee Doughie Freedman (who) and Wee Coyley at the club, well you got one of them and look at how that ended up, talk about robbing a living, he almost destroyed the club... Give me Mowbray any day of the week over that idiot and if you're so upset about the wages Mowbray earns, you should have become a football manager, then you too could have topped up the pension on the Venky gravy train.

Of course making the play offs is significant progress, we finished 15th last year, 11th the year before and 15th before that. Above 11th is progress, 6th or above is significant progress.

The lads only 20yrs old and has been injured an ill this season, he's without doubt one of our most exciting prospects from a blossoming academy. Is this another Buckley moment Sparks?

Rover 3 QPR 1 Promotion push back on track.

We're talking about Mowbray cocker.

Better placed and out performing all that dross.

I saw the highlights of the game earlier today for the first time, if that would have been a Premiership game the penalty wouldn't have stood, the keep was off his line and 2 more Sheff Utd players would have had an early bath, dirty bastards. But its down as a loss in the record books and we move on.

Which part of my post are you disagreeing with? I said Gallagher and Diaz scoring records are not dissimilar?

Nonsense and yes he would.

Don't tell anyone, but its not to dissimilar to Diaz..... who everybody said was shi1te too......Whisper it though.

I'm sure Mowbray would too, but sadly the owners refused to pay transfer fees that would have made that difference.....

I noticed this narrative has crept in recently and one or two are lapping it up, but its simply the cost of running a football club regardless of who the manager is. Its not as if Mowbray has had £100m to spend on players, he'll actually turn a profit on players at some point I'd wager, he fits the owners model extremely well. Give matt83 the managers job tomorrow, keep him for 5yrs, its £100m, because these useless inept owner of ours couldn't run a piss up in a brewery. They sacked the likes of Nelson and Salgado when they arrived to get wages under control, look how that worked out, it was all a smoke screen and destroyed this football club.

Nope. I've enjoyed this season so far, going up was never in the equation, disappointed yes, gutted even, but its been a good season regardless, the best since those muppets took over the club. Just my opinion of course, Venkys out.

As I said to Matty yesterday, I couldn't disagree more. This season has a different feel to it, maybe because more of the side are firing, but its been different than every other season under Venkys. Yes it will probably have the same ending, but for me and the fans I know its been different and strangely enjoyable for once. Some of the performances have been the best since I've seen in over 10yrs, Sheff Utd at home stands, but untimely where I do agree with Matty its about winning and sadly I've felt for a long time we'll fall just short.

Jesus wept - Have they been taken over by a Saudi Prince of something?

You'll get nobody on here arguing with you on that point. They have been shite, abysmal in fact, this season not so much.

Dwight Gayle was pie in the sky, which ever way you slice it, but I can't understand the Maja deal and why we never persuaded that target. Mowbray chased his signature for such a long time, I wonder if we were priced out of that one too.

We missed out on almost every number 1 target in the summer due to our budget. When the owners had a chance to push on in January they failed to do so and that tells you everything you need to know about the ambition at the top. Sparks mentions Dwight Gayle above, I agree with him he'd probably have done a job, but his wages are way beyond our means and they shouldn't be with the £100m bonanza you talk about. Missed opportunity, the likes of we'll possibly not see again under these owners.

I've been saying that all season Matty.

😄 He's on £40k a week.

You can't buy much on our budget Matty, I'm surprised we managed to get Markanday to be honest, he must have been on peanuts.
