Norwich spent £2m! Never serious about staying up. Happy to yo-yo I think

in goal hopefully!

When it mattered we lost 3 in a row! So, if this game has any significance---we'll lose!

Well we haven't finished 10th yet have we? How about the boring football? Gav and others went bonkers about Allardyce but at least we were in the Premier League and improving. We're going backwards now. Progress would be making top 6 in my view. And he said that was his aim. Or was it 70 points? Either way he's failed. How about £12M strikers who can't score and are played out of position? 3 and a half years and we haven't got one decent keeper at the Club. Unbelievable what some people will put up with.

Its marginal rather than significant? Could easily be undone by end of season churn, failure of owners to fund transfers, failure of manager to sign right players. In short any improvement is at glacial speed and we'll all be dead by the time Tony's rebuilding programme has finished.

Nailed it!

You beat me to it. He's making it up. However those who said Mowbray is tactically clueless and made bad signings (don't remember "shit-loads" though) are alive and well!

That early miss of his was pathetic though. Absolute sitter.

No chance at all with this manager. Probably not with another.

That was my point but I bet we don't.

So do we get rid of Samual as plenty were saying we should or does he deserve more chances? If we'd paid £M7 for him he'd play every game!

Same happens with Graham---in reverse!

Suspiciously odd.

Could happen under a different manager.

On that basis every new manager is a gamble and we should never change because things might get worse. He doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt, he's failed. We are stuck in the middle of mediocrity going nowhere till we start going downwards. We are bereft of money, dignity and ideas. What we have are poor results, boring football, low crowds, big debts and a fantastic history. We are a few years away from the likes of Bolton, Oldham, and Wigan and I suggest you wake up.

Yes Dack was an outstandingly good signing but nothing excuses Brereton and nothing excuses playing Gallagher on he wing over and over again when everyone can see it doesn't work. Nothing excuses the goal-keeping situation. Nothing excuses the failure to sort out the defence and to depend on loans for key positions. Everyone will accept what you say about Dack but so much else has gone wrong. Massive rebuilding job needed at Ewood in the summer, no confidence Mowbray will make the right decisions with whatever money is made available to him by our crackpot owners.

He promised exciting football. He said the fans would be on the edge of their seats! I presume he wasn't referring to an eagerness to get out before the end of the game.

If we won all 5 games I'd still want him to go (but we won't).

He's been here 3.5 years !! What more could I learn in 5 more games?

There's only one way to find out!

So you'd reject Hughes and keep Mowbray? Effing barmy! Academic anyway, they would never pay him what he's worth or give him the freedom he'd require. As for Hughes he would never agree to their terms.

Delusion---on your part and his. He hasn't got the ability or the desire. Simply stating that he'll be continuing in the role. So more pain in store for us.

So when he tells Gallagher to play in the centre he wanders off to the wing?

I don't think he understands or admits that he's causing it to a great extent though.

I agree with most of what you say but Venkys surely didn't insist that Mowbray sign Gallagher for £5m and Brereton for £7M? Nor do they insist he plays Gallagher on the wing!
