At no sane club can a manager keep his job despite having TWO separate considerable runs of games without a win within 12 months yet here we are. Spot the deliberate use of words in that sentence.

Why? Is he a plumber?

Steady on fella, I'm well aware of where we are. Nothing wrong with a bit of gallows humour.

A cheeky approach for Stevie Gerrard? Just putting it out there....

Maybe the Walton mistake was responsible for the first goal but Mowbray is massively responsible regardless. Neil makes a change on 30 minutes and goes direct, Mowbray does nothing. Preston pull one back, Rovers players panic to a man and mentally fall apart - Mowbray does nothing. Rovers on the back foot, can't get in the game, players bullied, Mowbray does nothing. Now if this was a one off he'd get leeway from me but it's inherent in this side - his side. He simply has to go.

Probably about as likely as them shelling out 12 million for 2 non scoring strikers.

Gold!!!

A win for Middlesbrough tonight puts us bottom of the 5 game form table.

The other thing with quick possession football is trusting your team mates. There's not many I'd trust to have a good first touch in a tight area and it looks like the players feel the same with their slow and safe style.

The thing is you'd expect a reaction after the no-show in the 2nd half against Huddersfield. It's a measure of Mowbray's lack of motivational skills that we were even more lethargic from the get go tonight. It's reminiscent of the Wigan game last year after the surrender at Deepdale.

Mowbray looks intent on making Travis the new J-Lo. Have to say there's a discernible difference to the all action player who burst on the scene last season.

I thought someone's washing had blown onto the pitch then realised Buckley had come on

Night and day difference now DG is up top. Don't be surprised if we nick one here.

Rovers fans singing for DG after yet another pathetic piece of play by our weak as piss 5 million pound 'striker'

He's recently turned his hand to financial management. Currently specialising in topping up pension funds and payment of university fees.

A word on Bradley Johnson. Now it's plain to see how we managed to sign him, carrying at least an extra stone and looks like he's pulling a caravan.

Time for the return of the chaddometer

This is embarrassing. I can only assume the players have given up and want Mowbray out too.

He's such a big lad but as physical as Julian Clary.

It's a new style that Tony has brought in from South Korea. It's called Foo Kin Shitplay

Highlights so far - Bennett shepherding the ball out of play for a Birmingham throw in and Gallagher's surgically implanted mini trampoline on his in-step.

There seems to be an assumption that we won't go down with Mowbray, I honestly think we could.

So it's a no. Finally an answer. And yes his objective is top 6, anything else is rewarding failure.

Just answer the question chaddy. All you are doing is making sure that regardless of if Mowbray is sacked or not you are not proven to be wrong. Do you think Mowbray can achieve his objective of top 6 this season?

Agreed. Far more intensity than anything Mowbray serves up.
