Takes me back to when MGP was given an assist for taking a throw in

No. I'm just pointing out that ultimately strikers are judged on goals not headers won. I'm delighted he put himself about yesterday and was a handful in the air but he needs to hit the old onion bag once in a while too.

All well and good but if he doesn't contribute goals he's not doing the main thing a striker is paid to do. I daresay no-one will mention how many headers he wins if we lose a couple and his drought continues...and that's before his price tag is taken into consideration.

I think there's an awful lot being put on being 'able to adapt' to different formations. My lad plays at a reasonable under 18s standard and they seamlessly drop into 4-4-2, 4-3-3 and 3-5-2 during games when needed so I'm pretty sure full time pros have the ability to do so too. One thing is for sure, it's hardly worthy of the gushing praise I'm seeing on here.

Be interesting to see how the next couple of games pan out now. TM like GB before him usually sees his arse when the top 6 is looming, let's hope he takes the handbrake off and goes for it this time.

Ding dong!!!

Now this would be an exciting signing, he's a step up from anything we currently have. If there's a chance to get him it's one we have to make happen.

New Korean striker?

It's not fact. You said everybody thought they were good appointments, I bet 'everybody' didn't.

Raya has all of the natural attributes to be a top top keeper, what he lacks (decisiveness, distribution, command of the penalty area) can all be coached. I'm not sure our YTS keeper coach had it in him to gain that necessary extra 15% improvement.

Minutes silences before games, especially at Anfield when the kitman's dog has died. Seriously though, tragic as it was, I remember minutes silences for Ken Bigley and Ian Huntley's victims Holly and Jessica - really? At a football game?

Just watching the highlights, what the hell is Walton doing rooted to his line as Cunningham is trying to shield it back to him? Surely he should be taking charge of that situation.

A great win and a thoroughly enjoyable performance to watch. I thought we looked a good side.

Downing is a class above anyone else on this pitch

Cracking win and much needed

The lad Gallagher is shite and 5 million worth of shite too. Quite how Mowbray saw fit to waste pretty much the whole budget on him (and Brereton beforehand) baffles me and now he shunts him on the wing as his ineffectiveness has become so apparent at the expense of a game changer in Rothwell. His time has been up for a while, just hope there is someone at the club who will pull the trigger before we're too deep in the shit.

Chaddy, you say we couldn't afford Hughton's wages yet promote the idea of a Director of Football in addition to a manager or head coach. A good D of F would at least be on a salary the same as Mowbray if not more??

For me, the manager gets a free pass from many despite spunking close to 14 million on 3 shite strikers. With recruitment that bad allied to a complete lack of tactical nous or style of play I cannot see how there is an argument for him to stay.

Time for you to open the relegation thread Jim?

Having a bet is very much like making love to a beautiful woman. You've got to study the form, take your time, take out your wad and splash it on a suitable filly. You can then sit back and watch as you clean up.

I've asked on many occasions what Mowbray's 'style of play' ? Anyone know ?

Surely he needs another 10 transfer windows in the 5 year (get the kids through uni) promotion plan?

Fingers crossed for a lucky break cos that's what we need

Probably through banging his head against a brick wall as to why Bennett gets in before him.

Said it before and will say it again, Mowbray's time is up here. Admitted the defence isn't up to it last season and then spunks his budget on another shit striker to add to Armstrong and Brereton. Refuses to play his one spark in Rothwell yet sticks by shite like Bennett. The club cannot and will not progress under him now and I fear we will be in serious trouble if he's allowed until the clocks go back.
