Warren Lucy. He makes Michael Owen sound like Brian Clough.

Quite amusing if you let go of the emotion and frustration. That own goal means that instead of scoring two goals from three chance, it’s now three for three!

These T-Shirt slogans sell themselves. I’m looking forward to him now getting the much vaunted hatful.

“If you’re a neutral watching this one...” ...then you really need to think about your life goals.

Get the F in Brezza!!!!!

Ready made excuse.

Why doesn’t Brereton think to follow up in the box. It’s something you teach kids.

‘Twas a definite red. Mowbray will be delighted.

When you know you know.

We are back to teams scoring with every chance. The honeymoon period has been well and truly Mowbrayed.

Both. It doesn’t really work and you won’t enjoy it but if you put them both out wide of the pastie you can pretend everyone does it.

“Brereton nearly got there” could apply to his defending just as much as his attacking.

FFS

Hope you’re right!!

Brereton needs a break. Dolan has already outscored him!

“I didn’t waste your money, he’s a valuable member of the team. The non-scoring forward is our secret weapon. Nobody expects the striker out of position.”

We bring in these exciting players and Mowbray has no clue how to get the best out of them.

£10 in rip off Britain.

I see Dolan has already been relegated to the bench in favour of the loanee. Not Tony’s pick so will have to prove himself several times over. Elliott definitely needs to hit the ground running tonight. Meanwhile Brereton and Bell get yet another pass.

http://news.sky.com/story/european-premier-league-plans-are-further-proof-that-greed-is-now-the-driving-force-of-football-12109430 Have to laugh. Sky are now complaining about greed in football. They started this whole gravy train!! I can only infer that streaming services are most likely to get TV rights. Top flight football is currently proving that they don’t need fans at matches. TV football is the future. No stadia required. Just walls of fan cams sat on their sofas being censored every time they take a swig of a beer that isn’t part of the match sponsorship!

It’s a joke that United are being invited. Still living off Fergie’s reputation. Have to laugh though. Liverpool win the league once and suddenly they are too good for it! If they go then they should forfeit everything. FA Cup included. Prediction: this won’t happen and it is all to put pressure on the EFL and FA over their original plans. 18 teams and 6 English side involved along with Spain, Germany, Italy and France? Personally I’d call their bluff and let them go. Another nail in the coffin of fans being at games. BCD FTW!

All that really proves is how much of a basket case we are as a club. Balancing the books only counts for off field matters. Conversely it seems that on field matters simply depend on which side of the bed “Madame” gets on the day of the bi-annual Rovers budget meeting. Can’t clean the stadium properly and would rather argue about who owns the land that makes our ground look like a scene from WALL-E rather than pay a few quid to clean it up. Yet we can add players and wages to our ever increasing pile of debt.

The options we now have available are our biggest strength and our greatest weakness. And yet an injury at centre back and we will be panicking again. We absolutely have to find a way to break teams down. Forest came today and parked the bus and we had nothing. Brereton is an English Corrado. If I hear Neil Yardley say “he just needs one and he’ll get a hatful” once more they’ll need to start selling it on t-shirts in the club shop. Gallagher has lost his way. Absolutely ruined by Mowbray insisting on playing him out wide when he should have been the guy to take over from Graham. Armstrong, Dack, Dolan, Rothwell, Elliott and Chapman are all just slightly different versions of the same gung-ho player just spread out across a few forward positions. Johnson is hot and cold. Evans only turns up for NI and Travis is now injured for the season. A lot rests on Holtby to be the ace in the hole. Because there is certainly a hole when he (or Travis) don’t play.

In contrast, Forest just won Hughton’s first game in charge after four straight defeats. Not making the play-offs must surely make this Mowbray’s last season here.

Sheffield Wednesday’s points deduction aside, our convincing wins were against bottom three sides with 1 win in 10 games between them. A false dawn?
