Armstrong done the middle made sense if we changed how we played and played the balls into the channels and got two slow centre halves turning as SG was offering Bennett protection, which Armstrong never does. The fact that we carried on playing the ball to Armstrong with his back to goal shows that Mowbray does not have a plan B to the one style of play. With Rothwell and Armstrong brought pace on but yesterday showed Mowbray does not know how to utilise it.

I will help Stuart out here. At no stage did he say Barr's coaching ability was questioned. All he said was that his name does not fill you with excitement if you were looking at joining an under 23 side. Nobody except his immediate family has heard of him. But do we will really need a well known name. The under 23s usually are made up of players who have come from within the system with one or two reserve players. And now i'm going to be a little critical of Johnson and mowbray here. We need players who are capable of stepping into first team and by that I mean playe the same tactics and style as the first team so that are aware of their role. It's all very well having a good 2nd string if the first team isn't peroforming

It is to provide width that isnt there in the forwards. I suspect one or both of the two defensive midfielders is supposed to drop and cover but that doesnt happen. In the end it makes our defending look like an under 12s team. Mowbray wants to play with wing backs but as his previous trials with 3 at the back have failed he's ditched one of them which is also proving a great success

When kidd was manager duff was dropped and would of been sold. Dunn was not featuring either and also would have been sold. Parkes reinstated them and then Souness built his team around them.

If Brian Kidd had stayed a little longer he would have been sold

No you are not but I think a change of club may benefit everyone concerned

Kevin was the first player I had a photo with when i got my first kit. Thoughts are for his family. RIP

I thought each club have to declare a squad of 25 players so why do clubs need more? If they had a squad of 25 first team and a additional 15 under 23s then the above cannot happen. It is ridiculous that Chelsea could loan out players and that its longest serving players have never made a first team appearence.

That says goals..................... .................against us

People did not think that a manager would agree to that

Because after 60 minutes we drop further and further then try and fail at defending our 18 yard line. This usually concludes in us conceding at least one goal.

I agree but there ain't no dalglish and walker this time

Or the money is only available for strikers

But Don Mackey always tried...Archibald, Ardiles, Stapleton and the best of the lot Kevin Moran. You dont know unless you try. I'm no fan of Mowbray but contrary to the belief he is looking at different avenues

Hardly call the 3 players mentioned as Harrods...more like Sainsburys

With the exception of Richie Smallwood

Looking at the photo a few pages back, could we be on for somthing like this but with orange badge and flashes.

If you going to spell a team wrong, better not your own!!! There are several fire sales looking at those wage bills compared to Championship turnovers

No baseball cap or ripped jeans

On Sam Gallagher, I agree that we should be ahead of Wigan if it is a choice between the two. I also suspect if we really wanted him that the deal would have been done. He strikes me as bang average for this division so I could take him or leave him. On Dann, I think we are panicking over centre halves so anybody who is available is going to be linked. Personally rather have Hanley than Dann but not much in them.

Our CEO saying similar budget to last year is the only evidence

Raya seemed to get dropped after the meeting between Mowbray and the keepers last season where it was alleged he told them another keeper would be coming. I think Raya must of taken exception to it and the rest is now history. Would explain why Letwiller played the last few games of the season

I wouldn't say he bullies them but he does seem to criticise them personally. Remember he has form, he banished Travis for 12 months for a stupid sending off, Nyambe seemed to get dropped everytime he made a mistake.

At times last season we did!!!
