He's a mid table championship manager whose got no clue how to organise a defence or get results consistent results. There's no excuses this year. He's been backed to the hilt with new signings and has a hugely talented squad. Unlike previous seasons, mid table is a huge failure this year.

One good month followed by a dreadful month. All too predictable. Well past the time to make a managerial change yet it's still not happened.

How many more times. Just go TM!

This is like watching a lge 2 game. That is probably the division Gally should be playing in.

Last nights results were another death knell in our promotion bid. It looks like there's one place up for grabs - and Cardiff look like they're going to be the team that comes from nowhere to snatch it. Tough game tonight but I think we'll win it. Barnsley like to play out from the back and pass the ball around, that suits our style of play more than teams that sit back and play for second balls.

I'm still fuming about what we saw last night. A huge game against very average opponents and we simply weren't up for it. We got out fought in every department. Make no mistake, Preston are a very poor team yet they are level on points with us now. That in itself tells you how poor we've been this season. TM has no idea how to change a game. You only have to look at our results when we've conceded first this season. I think that it's sinking in with TM that he's reached his limit here and he doesn't have the skillset to take us any further. What got us here won't get us to where we want to go.

Is anyone surprised? The wheels come off everytime. What a waste of a very talented squad of players, some of whom will leave in the summer.

Whatever the result here, just go Tony. One month followed by a dreadful one is all too familiar. A dodgy pen doesn't cloud my judgement, that was simply embarrassing.

Wow I have no words about this performance

Chair from QPR looks like a very good player. Would love us to go for him to spice up our attack.

Genuine question: have we ever won (or even scored?) when we’ve played a false 9? Cant fathom why it’s ever used unless you don’t have a fit striker.

Why overcomplicate it time and time again. Put players in their best positions and let them get on with it.

Get near the top 6 and then we crash and burn. Rinse and repeat.

This won't be an easy game at all. Not see them play much this season but I don't expect them to just sit back, that could leave some space in behind for Arma. 1-1

He was very poor at Sunderland (twice), Middlesbrough, Wolves and Hull. If you asked fans at some of those clubs they'd prob say he's one of the worst strikers they've had. However, if you used him in the right way then he was a very, very good striker, as he proved here.

Danny retires. A shocking player for many clubs but he was fantastic here. A great fit for us during a challenging period for the club.

We're firmly back in play off contention. Let's not blow it this time.

Thank you Jordan!

Bournemouth currently losing. Plenty of time left in that match but a big, big opportunity for us if they drop points.

True, but you could look at it another way and say TM was the one who pushed for a proper recruitment department which had been dismantled previously. That recruitment department has then gone onto pick up gems like Kaminiski. I would hazard a very strong guess that the first time TM had ever seen TK play was on his first day of training at Rovers. The change in the style of football has also meant the top clubs feel their best young players will be schooled in the right way here, hence the quality of loans.

You can fault TM for his tactical nous (and I do!) but you can't fault his transfer dealings in the past two windows. Some real rabbits out of the hat being pulled. We now have three of the best young players in the country playing for us.

If it's between us and Preston I'd be pretty confident Kipre would rather come here. Preston are on the downward spiral. I'd like to think we'd have a chance to sign Kipre permanently in the summer if he comes here on loan before the deadline. WBA are probably going to get relegated which will mean Kipre's wages will be slashed anyway next season so his wages may not be such a big issue.

Benno

Their local journo saying it should get done before the deadline.

Benno to Shrews possible according to Nicko.
