A damning appraisal from manager and reporter, we will certainly see what this side is made of against Wednesday at the weekend. Not a great night for the fans, terrible weather and even worse on the pitch, but the ones that braved the elements are a credit to the club, I applaud you all.

Scotland, think I will drive next time, white knuckle stuff. Apologies from Mowbray tonight, things must have been bad.

Just got off a plane, bumpy as hell, fortunately I missed the whole game. Ignorance is bliss.

Be interesting to see the following tonight after Saturdays fantastic turnout. Has anyone seen how many tickets have been shifted?

Fortunately Leeds are in Sky almost weekly so Boxing Day is sorted.

Who gives a fook about Preston?

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.... Mowbray got WBA promoted after restructuring the club (no mean feat) But let's put this Coyle nonsense to bed, he was absolutly ucking useless, along with his backroom staff, useless, you backed the wrong horse, no pun intended.

The ones complaining have very short memories, club statements since the idiots look over are like hens teeth, embrace them, you never know when Mowbray will be sacked and we end up with another looser like Mercers mate Coyle. Rallying calls from the manager, what next, shirts and season tickets on sale in May! NEVER!

Could this be the Venky hand meddling in team matters? I have no idea K-Hod, absolute speculation on my part, but would Mowbray use this sort of money on a player with potential only, when he's crying out for strength in other areas?

Saw an article with Mick Rathbone last week, he was quoted as saying Brereton has the potential be top top player, having worked with him previously. We have no chance of going up this season in my opinion, so I'm not concerned how Mowbrays sees Brereton role right now as long as he's ready for next season. But I do worry the Venky hand has been involved with this one.

It's amazing what a season of success can do arbitro, it's like the past 8/9yrs didn't happen on occasions posting on here. The Brereton deal and subsequent bench warming is extremely strange, Mowbray doesn't think he's ready clearly. But as I said yesterday it's all very Venkyesq and reminds us all that they're still very much in charge at the club and we're only ever a bad decision away from disaster.

You slagged off Mowbray and his backroom staff, this after 1 promotion, a superb home record, club stability, the best team spirit since Hughes was here and a £20m pound midfielder on the books, it's absolute bunkum, lazy even. Mowbray has worked wonders in his time here so far, he took WBA out of this league as champions, so to say he's not got it is wide of the mark. He may well fail here, who knows, but the fans that go to games are enjoying the experience again, I certainly am, and that is on no all part down to Mowbray, the players he's assembled and his backroom staff.

Absolutly nothing to support that sweeping statement Mercer. Results and transfer dealings have been good since Mowbray arrived, we've seen vast improvements on the playing side, club stability excellent. We lost to Bpools main rivals, bad day at the office, nothing more and we move on.

To be fair you've been saying he's not the man for us since the early part of last season. I take all your points onboard, but give the guy a chance, he knows how to rebuild a side and get out of this league, we're lucky to have him.

Everyone's dissapointed with today's result, but claiming this is Mowbrays limit is knee jerk at best. If you look at the current side, it's nowhere near good enough to go up, we need 2/3 solid performers with a bit of quality thrown in and far more experience at this level. The Bereton signing is very much Venkyesq, seems bonkers, doesn't make sense, but he's here and could well turn out to be a fantastic signing, or we've been had AGAIN, time will tell. The problem with sections of this site is most think we're going up every season, a few wins and some are booking hotels for Wembley, when in reality we're a season or 2 away from getting to that level if we keep progressing and the more considered posters realise that. We're having a good season, getting better on and off the pitch, so keep the faith, we are streets ahead of where we've been in recent times.

Most people would have played Brereton, I get it, but that wouldn't have made the blindest bit of difference because the entire side had a shocker.

The managers doing a great job, take a look at the league man. Today was awful, all over the park as I've already said, trying reading what people post instead of trying to break the posting record.

Yes, because the manger picked him.

Injuries the reason for team selection today and clearly Brereton isn't ready, regardless of what fans on here think. Mowbray knows his players better than we do, but you'd hope has some regrets about starting like he did today...

Thankfully we're having a good season so far, which points towards him having not done much wrong. Dissapointing to lose, but we move on.

Did you watch that today? Team selection or not, the players were absolutly awful today, worst I've seen in a longtime, so they deserved hammering.

Nonsense blueboy. Coyle talked shite, King Rat was a master, but Mowbray is honest, and I'd hope he'll come and and say that today was absolute garbage.

Awful performances all over the park, but not helped by Mowbrays team selection, injury concerns the reason by all accounts, but still not good enough. The players involved need to have a long hard look at themselves tonight, awful. This side is a good 12 months away from challenging for a play off spot at least. The manager needs to try different players and formations, but not when 5000 fans are in the away end. Have a word with yourself Mowbray.

The color is awful, the main font looks like it was designed on an Atari in 1979, but a part from that is good to go..... Appreciate the effort but it looks awful, if it's not broke don't fix it a wise man once said...

I think it was away to Rotherham in a league cup game, he scored from the halfway line if memory serves me correctly?
