  1. I don't believe that Rob Heyes ever worked for us. He was at Accrington when they got promoted to the EFL and he left (maybe sacked) when he was given long suspension for illegal betting on football. He went to Macclesfield after that and was latterly at Blackpool.
  2. Almost as pleasing as the win was that (at last) we showed some bollocks, rolled our sleeves up and came from behind to win. I thought the performance was decent and we deserved the win but I don't think any Rovers fan would have predicted a win after going behind so late in the game. Ultimately we all want Rovers to win football matches and that really is all that matters. We could nitpick about selection, tactics, player errors or whatever but winning overrides all that and Mowbrays failings are being exempted today by me as I enjoy the moment.
  3. Desperation from Mowbray to boost his underachieving £5k misfit. How on earth can it be Gallaghers goal when the header wasn't even on target? It seems like every interview he does now he says something stupid.
  4. I know you should never be surprised in football but that surprises me. He has done exceptionally well at Nobbers and has the support of the fans and has built a decent side who are playoff contenders. Stoke has become a bit of a poisoned chalice with recent appointments. Still money talks.................
  5. And it's rumoured that they are stumping up a chunk of his wages. There is also a rumour that as he is a player and coach his wages are not counted towards FFP.
  6. I really hope that big lump Nuhiu isn't playing for them. He is slow, unskilled and can hardly run but he always manages to cause chaos amongst our defence. I don't like giving predictions as there are usually too many variables but I'm not confident at all going into this game.
  7. I get that. My point was that Keogh has no value and is effectively sacked. The other two who caused the accident are suspended, fined and then free to play. The difference is that the two drink drivers will be worth some money if they are transferred and Derby are protecting that.
  8. Mowbray had a short break in India less than two weeks before the Preston second half debacle.
  9. There is no consistency here though. What about the other two who actually drove under the influence and caused the injury to him? They have actually played for the first team since the accident. There is something far deeper in this story and I'd be amazed if it not the monetary value of Lawrence and Bennett when they actually get shut of them.
  10. I think he will win his appeal. Maybe Derby, in the knowledge he will appeal and win, will then say it's pointless sacking the other two as they too would appeal and win. But the world and his wife know that they have a transfer value and Derby are likely to cash in on that. Keogh is collateral damage. A club without morals or scruples.
  11. I remember driving home from an away match at Brighton early in the season and I got a text to say Bowyer had been sacked. It turned out to be wrong. It was November when he went if I remember correctly.
  12. Brentford away. 2-0 up and coasting - end up losing 5-2, Birmingham home 2-0 up, draw 2-2. They are just off the top of my head.
  13. Steve was interviewed in London by Alan Curtis, Leon Brittan and Trevor Birch. He hadn't even got back to Euston Station when he got a call to go back to the hotel for a second interview. Who would interview Mowbrays replacement? Waggott, Cheston and Pasha. I wouldn't trust them three to make a jelly.
  14. And Waggott and Coar can say 'what more can we do' in a deflection tactic.
  15. What about the young keeper we took from Everton? I've only seen him once but he looked assured and dominant.
  16. Dack was angry yesterday, much more than anybody else. In the second half, right in front of the Rovers fans he showed his frustration by gesturing angrily after another attacking move broke down due to a poor decision. He then got himself booked for hacking down a Nobber. If more players showed that attitude we might have had a chance. Some of them didn't appear to be hurting by what happened.
  17. I didn't see Bennett get booked. If he was it's his fifth and he'll miss the next game.
  18. In the first half we pressed quite high all over the pitch and knocked them out of their stride. In the second half we were ten yards deeper which allowed them to go longer and win second balls. We simply invited pressure and allowed them to bully us. What made us change? If might have been Mowbray or the players themselves but Mowbray was so passive in the dugout I'm inclined to think he was happy. At 2-1 Travis was stripped and ready to come on but them scoring the penalty changed that. So at 2-2 Mowbray then appeared content as the change didn't happen but the majority could see we needed fresh legs. It's just another damning condemnation of Mowbrays management style how he dithers and is indecisive.
  19. Maybe I misread it Matty but I thought the majority of boos were aimed at the referee who was making his way off.
  20. And some of the protesting Rovers fans were spat on and threatened by those holding different views.
  21. Pretty much yes. The 'get behind the team' brigade.
  22. You have to do what it takes to win the game. Mowbray is stuck in a time warp and his holier than thou nonsense interviews tell us this. Neil was brave and made a decision to go three up front and direct to Stockley. Kudos to him for that, I'm struggling to think when (of if) Mowbray has radically changed anything and got us a result. The fact we have only come from behind in the Championship once during his tenure to win speaks volumes.
