Will 8th be the glass ceiling?

Armstrong has been a revelation but I'd love to see someone like Gestede (c. 2014) up top with him. The ball never stuck up front today. Doesn't really work with our system of shunting strikers out wide though.

And we're 15th in the second-half table.

Yeah, we had the fight and togetherness but in possession we were lackluster.

Always gutting to surrender a two-goal lead, although the scoreline did flatter us. We defended like a team but we were never in control.

Mercer had tipped us off way before that.

There's been a serious media love-in for the Bees. 'Ave it!

If anything it would be Gally out wide with the ol' diagonal ball.

Aaaaand there's the kiss of death.

Gallagher is our wide option

Whoopee shit. We need to win the playoffs, let alone get "to the brink" of them. Being "nearly men" counts for nothing when you have to balance unsustainable levels of debt and FFP. We know how quickly things can change. Suddenly you need to sell your best players fast, squad declines, and League One beckons. Promotion or bust.

He needs to stop digging.

FFP didn't stop us wasting £12m on two strikers. The point is that Souness turned the squad into promotion contenders in one summer for a net spend of £1m. Get your head out of Mowbray's ass for two seconds and you might smell the coffee.

I can just imagine Souness telling Uncle Jack, "Yeah I need three seasons and seven transfer windows before we're ready for promotion" Oh, but that's different. Souness had Dunn, Duff and Jansen. Nevermind all the dead weight in the squad that needed clearing out. The team had a weak spine and it didn't take long to build a new one. Friedel, free. Hughes, free. Berkovic, loan. Bjornebye, peanuts. Curtis, Berg, Bent, couple mill each. Hignett was our biggest outlay and he spent much of the season out injured. All in all, the total cost was around the same we paid for Gallagher and Brereton. "Slow build" my ass.

No, see now you're just deflecting. You said WE have to hope that losing to Brentford doesn't derail our season, which means there's the potential for that to happen, something which you previously denied. Stop digging.

Surely no hope is required if the result's not a season-changer? Stop contradicting yourself.

Don't get the patriotism for English clubs in European tournaments. We can't stand them any other time.

Weird how certain people are Mowbray fans first, Rovers fans second. Wouldn't be surprised if the club had plants on here.

Is it past your bedtime?

Apart from the £12m spunked on two duds which was predicated on selling Dack?

What are your thoughts on Robbie Savage's attitude when he engineered a move here from Birmingham? Don't worry, I'll wait.

Even during our lowest point under Kean? Liar or masochist?

You don't lick Mowbray's taint.

Can't see Mulgrew playing. Not unless he agrees to waive that contract clause.
