He should already be concerned as we have failed in his own target of top six. Now he's not concerned about a imminent relegation scrap. The man is embarrassing.

People who write 'of' instead of 'have'.

When the corner is delivered the scorer runs off Brereton. When he heads it Lenihan is the closest to him. It appears that Mowbray uses zonal marking in the six yard box and goes man to man outside of it. Another example of over complicating something that is relatively simple.

Brereton has never been good enough and I don't think he ever will improve but he has some sympathy from me. It wasn't him who decided he was worth £7m and put massive expectations on him through that. It was Mowbray who decided to pay hugely over the odds on the strength of a dead rubber match at Trent Bridge if the stories are to be believed. It's just another awful Mowbray decision and now it's almost like he is trying to prove himself right by playing him when he is clearly out of his depth. In just over a years time Brereton is out of contract giving somebody a big decision to make.

Plays between the lines...........arghhhhhh. These are invented phrases by so called experts to try and impress us mere mortals. Exhibit one m'lud, I give you Robbie Savage. 😁😁😁😁😁

Have you put your name to Revidgeblues excellent letter to Waggott?

The poor timing of this departure is symptomatic of how poorly our club has become. The season is almost over (in more ways than one), we have almost half a squad to potentially replace and our head of recruitment is leaving and, as yet no replacement lined up. I wonder what will happen to the scouting reports already compiled on new signings. Will Harvey use these as targets for Sunderland now? But the bigger question is why would somebody leave a Championship club for a League One club. Once again something really stinks at our club.

It's real back of a fag packet stuff from Swag there. An absolute chancer and a thick one at that.

There were lots of unanswered questions for me and suspicions around Gradi have been around for decades. I was told of this rumour by a senior Cheshire policeman in the mid 90's. There is a Scottish version of child abuse in football on the BBC later this week.

Travis did play at Sheffield with Smallwood as Evans was rested having played two days earlier at Leeds. Smallwoods sending off opened the door for Travis. Had Smallwood not been suspended I don't for one minute believe Mowbray would have picked Travis. In that match against West Brom Travis was outstanding as he was in the subsequent games. Only a few weeks earlier he couldn't even get on the bench. Mowbray got lucky there. And who can forget that Mowbray ostracised Travis after his sending off at Portsmouth. I agree Harwood Bellis has been good but Carter is earning rave reviews in a winning team at Burton and I felt deserved a chance rather than bringing in two younger players which, as somebody pointed out contradicted what Mowbray said about centre half being a mans position.

How is it right to judge players after two games? Magloire was excellent in his debut against Wigan up against Garner and Powell. We won 3-0. He wasn't too good at Hillsbrough but nobody came out of that game with any credit, it was a poor team effort. Similarity Carter played in what were effectively dead rubbers. Both haven't really had a first team sniff since the. The two on loan centre backs have both had difficult games but both (until Branthwaites injury) played in the next game. In my view Mowbray holds a belief that because they are from PL clubs they are better than what we have. Travis only got a game because of Smallwoods suspension and was outstanding.

In eight games time Mowbray has some huge decisions to make as players contracts enter their last few months of their deals. For me it would be a poor decision to give the likes of Evans, Bell, Downing, Johnson and Holtby new deals given their ages and for most of them their lack of game time. Any manager worth his salt would be pushing some of the younger players into the first team, not for just a couple of games (like Magliore and Carter) but for a more extended run. I'm thinking that the likes of Whitehall and Pike look like they could step up but I don't think Mowbray is brave enough to do that (unless of course they have come on loan from PL clubs). Mr Average, middle of the road just doesn't seem to rate our youngsters as much as youngsters from other clubs.

Bloody hell Andy, that would have meant you were running backwards. 😁😁😁😁😁😁

I watched the three episodes in iPlayer and wow, really powerful stuff. I don't mind admitting I shed a tear when hearing of the things they were put through. Well done the BBC for producing such an evocative programme. I wasn't exactly filled with confidence though that it could still happen or indeed is still happening. The FA once again should be initiating protocols and processes that would stop it but their silence is deafening.

I remember an interview with him Andy and he said he was slightly disappointed about the goal. An astonished interviewer asked why and Worthington said he wasn't happy with his connection on the shot, he wanted a cleaner strike. Now that's a perfectionist. RIP Frank Worthington.

I saw the first half of Football's Dirty Secrets last night on BBC1 and found it compelling but harrowing too. It continues tonight and tomorrow. How on earth did them beasts get away with it for so long?

Cheston was here before Mowbray came. Don't you remember his famed 'outstanding candidate' reference to Coyle getting the managers job?

And to prove your point Pears got a four year deal but if you scratch the surface the possible answer is there.

I actually enjoyed the performance today and thought we were well worth a point. There wasn't really an outstanding performance I thought but as a pair our centre halves were good. It alters nothing for me though, in fact it adds to my thoughts about Mowbray holding us back particularly when I saw his post match comments about a getting about teams in their own half and playing with freedom. For pretty much all of the winter we haven't really done that and in my opinion that is down to Mowbray. A top six squad and mid table manager.

Yes but Mowbray has the answer - he is going to get his 'meterage' (which is nothing to do with distance) up.

https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk More guff from Mowbray in what is clearly an arse covering interview. He blames the way we play for Ayala's injuries and yet two of his injuries have happened in training, one of them actually warming up. Its not like his injury record at Boro was any good despite the way they played (in Mowbrays parallel universe that is). That alone should have been the deterrent here but we give him a three year deal committing the club to several million quid in the process.

The last time I looked a 1-0 defeat meant no points. Mowbray, in his inimitable way is talking like these losses are some kind of moral victory and some will undoubtedly buy into this because, well, erm Mowbray said it. To be honest I'm getting to the point where it's all becoming boring now. The complete autonomy he and Waggott have is just no good for any organisation. There is no accountability and as we trundle along they are untouchable as our delightful owners seemingly don't care buy hey, they are signing the cheques so all is right.

Mowbray is in absolute self preservation mode with his post match comments. It's becoming an insult to our intelligence now but as I have said he is making these comments for the sake of Balaji and co. On a poor run of form like ours he just doesn't have the answers and wherewithal to stop the rot.

What a dreadful game of football that was. With everything that is going on at the club watching Rovers play and looking forward to a game was respite for some but now even that looks like the players have fallen into the club malaise. Mowbray and his staff certainly have.

Poor from Mowbray to drop some of the best performers in recent weeks. And after getting the hook at half time his project signing gets a start. The sooner this bloke is confined to the history books the better for us.
