Bloody hell. Hyperbole is alive and well tonight!

We’ll probably get an #agentbenno photo call some time on Monday afternoon. These things need to be stage managed properly you know.

Not sure who Mowbray is trying to communicate to with that message. Under normal circumstances it would be aimed at the chairman and owner but we keep being told he already has money burning a hole in his pocket and even turned down more money ‘to grow the club properly’ rather than FFP-sponsored boom and bust. Odd.

Our fitness under Hughes was second to none. They used to play 100 minute games in training didn’t they?

That Swansea sponsor would have looked great on our home shirt.

Exactly. Those kinds of results feel like a loss.

you are like a walking talking post-defeat cliché. We are allowed to be disappointed at the manner of the defeat, Chris. ‘Embarrassing’ is hardly the word of the day. Most have been pretty balanced about it. You (and the Mowbray-is-God-Squad) are looking for an argument that isn’t there.

Yeah, they score in injury time.

Nice one. I guess Ipswich are a bit more used to the climate down there.

That is a real worry!

Swindon have just come from 2-1 down to win 3-2 with penalties in the 96th and 97th minute. Hat trick for Doughty.

We’ve just seen the difference between L1 and the Championship. In all seriousness, it sounds like we had enough chances to win in and got hit with the sucker punch. Mowbray’s tactics at the end would have been enough most weeks last season. Not any more. The opposition are far better. Hope he realises this soon. It may actually work in our favour if he gets off the pot with some bids this week.

Good result for us really, especially with Bolton, Wigan and PNE all winning. We don’t want to start off too well and be a target for other teams. Let’s be midtable for as long as possible and catch them unawares with a late play-off place. Lots to be positive about. Goals for Dack and Graham and we’d have all taken a draw before the game especially with our record at Portman Road. It’s a point more than Reading, QPR, Sheff Weds and West Brom. Onwards and upwards. We all just need to trust Mowbray. (Did I miss anything?)

FFS

Tell you what they surely can’t invite McCarthy back on to Sky Sports Score Centre. The Samaritans certainly won’t be tapping him up any time soon that’s for sure!

Interesting the difference in approach between Rovers and Wigan in terms of recruitment. L1 champions last season are now 3-1 up in their opening game and had three new players starting and three on the bench. Even they felt they had to strengthen

This is going to get really boring.

Mowbray’s a genius!

Get in!!

I’d definitely take a draw now!

5 bloody minutes!

But not necessarily so in recruitment: “Come to Rovers, Bauer, I know you are starting for Charlton but you could be on our bench making Mulgrew and Lenihan work harder”.

Agreed although I’m not sure I’d have said ‘upset’... more ‘concerned’.
