When did we last sell a decent player? Of all the accusations to throw at Mowbray or Venkys, you can’t argue that they’ve shown willingness to sell our best players at the first opportunity. If Armstrong goes for good money to a prem team, so be it. It happens to all Championship clubs. I don’t want him to go and I’d be concerned where the money might end up, but I wouldn’t blame the club IF the offer is right. Hopefully we’ll hold on to him until the summer at least.

If Mowbray is the man I hope he is, he’ll walk. Forget all the nonsense about body language and comments in the press. That’s irrelevant. It’s all about results. Expectations were high going into this season and we’ve gone nowhere. I genuinely worry who’ll be brought in to replace him but the time might now be right to take the gamble.

Doncaster. A new low. Never looked remotely good enough. Still unable to beat a team when they sit deep. No plan B, creativity, conviction or composure. We’re clearly not good enough to outplay teams when they have 11 men so let’s stop pretending that we can. I can’t remember us looking so shaky at the back in years. I’ve never hated watching us play so much as I have over the last 3 months. It’s utter torture. Get rid of Buckley. No idea what he’s meant to bring. The pitch is a disgrace.

It was terrible. Got plenty of time for Neil Yardley and even Warren. He’s not a natural commentator but brings passion to it. I’ve mostly disliked whenever they’ve put someone else in. Cunningham was the notable exception. At least have someone with personality. -
Embarrassing to see a side shut up shop from the 6th minute. They got the result but acted like a lower league cup opponent. Very strange. Too blunt in attack and not sure about taking our biggest aerial threat off for another diminutive attacker. We’re not going up so it is what it is. Such a cheap goal to concede but when you only have one fit CB I guess it’s not surprising. Bottom line, we can’t keep conceding and expect to get back into games. We’re not solid enough and too often find ourselves with a mountain to climb. We also need a plan B going forward.

I think issues like how Mowbray reacts on the sidelines or enthusiastic he is in pre match interviews is completely overblown. There are far, far bigger issues. Last night quietly demonstrated our strength in depth. Bringing Holtby, Downing and Trybull off the bench. I can’t imagine many sides in this division can do that. The 5-sub rule might start to really benefit us over Christmas. Concerned by Douglas. Offering nothing more than Bell at present.

Awful performance but got the result. We won’t go much further if we keep having to rely on stealing games in stoppage time. Although it’s pleasing to see us get results after going behind. Other than Elliott, Kaminski, Nyambe and Armstrong, I honestly don’t care if any of the others are dropped for the weekend. The pitch looks shocking. A throwback to the mid 90s. Shame the team in blue and white couldn’t do the same..

Nothing unlucky about it. It’s no coincidence that we’ve lost to Bournemouth, Watford, Bristol City, Norwich etc. We’re not good enough to compete at that end of the table. We beat the bad teams and lose to the good ones, where does that put us. More specifically, did Norwich ever look like giving us the chances that we gifted to them? No. Not solid enough full stop and no plan B in attack.

Big game but a defeat today is not a disaster. It’s avoiding a long term slump in form. Losing 5-2 at Brentford a couple of years ago wasn’t the biggest issue, it was the run of defeats afterwards. We can not afford to go through another period of 6/7 games without a win. A win today would be huge, however. I’d take a point right now.
