Pre Jack Walker I always thought of Barnsley as a Yorkshire version of us. A loyal hard core support of around 8,000 and a ground in need of tlc. Come to think of it that similarity is with us again after the decade of decay.

We were pretty much in line and thought he was onside as the ball didn't appear to be played forwards.

I think Covid is the ideal screen to use as one of the excuses for our low attendances and season tickets but that is bucking the trend of pretty much the majority of football clubs, many of which have actually increased ticket sales. I personally don't know anybody who isn't going because of the pandemic. I agree with the other reasons you give though.

You missed quoting where I said how poor Hull were. Do you not think the substitutes made the difference tonight?

As much as I criticised Mowbray on Saturday for costing us points tonight his changes brought about the win in my view. The game was pitiful up to the changes with no real tempo or any sort of intensity. Khedra did more postive play in his first two minutes than many had in the previous fifty. Butterworth filled the gaps behind Brereton nicely and could have had a couple of goals himself. Three points is always the aim so it's mission accomplished tonight. Without taking too much gloss off a win though Hull were abysmal and I fear they will be in a massive fight to stay up.

I thought he had his best game for us on Saturday but up to then his form was indifferent. Early impressions are that he is better offensively than defensively but in my view he can only get better with game time.

What a tragedy for the young lad who was really looking the part for Liverpool. Hopefully it's a clean break with no complications (assuming it is broken) and he can be back fully fit for next season.

I'm still angry about yesterday but the thing that is really grating with me is the lack of contrition from Mowbray. Over the last four years I have seen us throw many leads away but yesterday was a watershed as it was so apparent who cost us the points. On the bus home lots were blaming Mowbray, lots who I have never heard offer any criticism of him previously. If he came out and admitted his errors I would respect him more. As it is he is heading into an utter contempt zone from me.

I thought Ayala was beaten too easily for their first goal too. All the classic Mowbray failings of the last four years were apparent today. Weak defending and negative, unnecessary changes which weaken us. And predictably his interview on Quest sees him carping on about the referee, a referee who should have sent Lenihan off early on by the way.

I've seen several comments saying we went to three at the back but we didn't. He went to a back five which I firmly believe was our undoing. And if anybody needs reminding it was Luton at home and WE GO TO A BACK FIVE. He should be sacked for that alone.

The referees performance will inevitably dilute Mowbrays inadequacies but he was as equally poor for both teams. Lenihan should have been sent off early on for an over the top challenge which endangered the Luton players safety which set the tone for an indisciplined game which threatened to boil over several times. The weakness of the referee was highlighted many times as he frustrated players, officials and fans from both teams in equal measure.

The reason we were too deep is because he decided to go with a back 7 and couldn't get out. He is an imbecile.

https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2021/september/We-should-have-put-the-game-to-bed/ No accountability from our feeble excuse of a manager. No mention of changing shape and tactics, not even to defend why he did them. From a football perspective he is strangling the life out of our club and he is not being held accountable.

I'm blazing at this awful excuse for a manager we have. We were quite comfortable at the time so he brings in a defensive midfielder for an attacking midfielder and then goes to a back five which must have delighted that little shit of a manager from Luton. We just invited pressure from then and we predicted that Luton would equalise due to our managers fear and absolute negativity. Why didn't he go pretty much like for like and bring Butterworth on for Buckley? Instead his one change necessitates several positional changes and a change of shape. Then he decides to go to a back five (to remind you we were playing Luton at home) handed the initiative to Luton who bombarded us with crosses from deep. We looked comfortable until he decided he knows best and completely screwed up. I'm so pissed of with him tonight as he has cost us two points I believe.

Mowbray has an honours degree in talking a lot without actually saying anything. What is the point of saying all he did about potential new players being 'in the building' without giving reasons for them not signing? And once again I question all this last minute panic trying to bring players in when the clock is certainly against him.

Waggott will get back to you about that question. 😁😁😁😁

I laughed at the fact one of the selling points is that you can watch the second half in there and not go back in the ground. And to think that Mowbray wanted away fans in the UDE to prevent them creation an advantage for their team and we are encouraging fan's to stay in the bar.

How many other 16 year olds has he gone public about? Phillips is undoubtedly a player with huge potential but I don't think it's right that Mowbray is already bigging him up to the world and his wife. In my view the lad needs to be able to develop without the pressure of the first team manager heaping huge praise on him.

I have seen him play three times now and he does look like an excellent prospect but in my view he needs protecting from the pariahs and vultures that might see him as a cash cow. I have actually spoken to his mother at games a couple of times and she seems grounded about him. There will be clubs monitoring him right now and as we have seen under these owners they do like to sell players. How do you mean they are keeping him 'incentivised'?

It's almost like Mowbray is putting the young man in the shop window. He has been quoted twice in recent days eulogising about him.

But how many see them or are even aware of them? The displays in the corner of the JW and DE have gone. They were seen by lots of Rovers supporters and visitors. Now there is just a sign reading Away Ticket Sales. Also many of the bricks that people paid for behind the BE are in such a state of disrepair that soon they will be damaged irreparably. I will applaud the club when they really start to consider the lifeblood of this club, the fans.

Just noticed this topic has reached page 666..........

You can add cowardly to the list. Covid has been a blessing for Waggott as he hides behind it and fails in the most basic of his duties to avoid difficult questions. FOW.

And Championship clubs weren't queuing up to sign the players we have taken on loan. You used the word hope - is that not how to describe the loanees we have taken?

I don't disagree but why give the lad another year. This is Mowbray at his best, committing the club to money that could be spent elsewhere.
