Mono Tony ??? Like it.

I agree. As somebody who has paid ridiculous prices at Leeds and Wednesday it's something that I agree with although it's not the fans fault. Hopefully fans of both clubs can put pressure on their own clubs to reduce the extortionate prices. I've said before it's ironic that if either club got promoted they would have to charge a maximum of £20. Admission prices need a full review by the authorities mainly due to the huge disparities from club to club. At Birmingham next week the adult price is £15 but at QPR it was double that.

I can't help thinking that the England team walking off and not coming back would have made a much stronger statement (which is what they said they would do). That for me would have put pressure firmly on UEFA to take really strong action rather than the piddling little fines and part ground closures that they think will cure this disease. It's simple for me, Bulgaria should be banned from the next World Cup.

And therein lies a big problem for me Andy. The reluctance of Mowbray to sign strong characters is evident when things don't go right. The two you mention plus a host of others would have busted a few egos from some of our lot. I heard Roy Keane slaughter several England players on Friday and it was music to my ears. However I believe the crux of this problem is Mowbray himself who likes to portray himself as this genial, caring good human being. I really can't see him tearing a strip off an egotistical millionaire who doesn't appear to give one.

Is that comments on social media? I'd rather see some gut busting effort on the pitch rather than read some of the patronising stuff I see copied by some players on here.

There were several judging from their body language at Loftus Road. Dack, Armstrong, Evans, Bell, Bennett were the ones that stood out to me. The manner of losing has to hurt but it didn't seem to when I saw some of the aforementioned coming out of Nando's at Euston Station about ninety minutes after a diabolical performance seemingly without a care in the world.

You are absolutely right in your first sentence and they will know how bad they were. It's the ones who aren't bothered or hurt by it that worries me.

I've thought for a while now that Mowbray likes to pick the low hanging fruit and anything else puts him out of his comfort zone. He likes to sign players he has either worked with previously or played for one of his former clubs. He likes his players to be of a certain character who won't challenge his authority. He has confirmed this himself on several occasions. He has worked with his assistant manager, first team coach and Chief Exec before. There are lots of limitations to his managerial ability which all add up to him having reached the glass ceiling with us.

I remember there used to be a stop press column in the Last Sports which would have all the late goals from the Football League (there was no PL then). There w were also reports inside from all the local non league games. Although living in Darwen we would often walk to the Boulevard just to get one and read it on the way home. When we got the bus home from Ewood there was also always somebody on the bus with a transistor radio pressed to his ear relaying all the results to everybody. Nowadays the bus home is full of people glued to their phones with the younger ones looking at the game stats.

That's not the worst idea but the downside is that Mowbray would want to integrate them to his methods and workings and from previous history that could take a while.

It's just another example of how badly run we are when we can hand out new contracts to the likes of Platt and Wharton who will never get near the first team whilst ignoring our major weakness. Mowbray has really gambled all his chips on no defenders getting injured and eleven games in it has bitten him on the arse. It's really poor management and a real gamble with the future of our club.

It's like Groundhog Day again after Mowbray refused to bring in defenders last January and we almost immediately lost Lenihan and Mulgrew to injury. Although there is no word on Lenihans injury I noticed he is already on four yellow cards and one more will bring an automatic suspension. It also appears that Tosin is made of marzipan having spent most of his time here injured. Mowbray has once again dropped an almighty bollock.

Lots of teams being picked for the Nobbers game but we have two important games before then.

His tactics often reflect the level of bullshit he spouts in that interview. As you quite rightly say he over thinks things which often leads to over complicating things. I also find some of his interviews patronising almost as if he is talking to absolute novices.

We noticed that too and really struggled to understand the logic behind it. It's another example of Mowbray trying to be clever. It was around that time that Bennett passed a note to Evans.

I saw quite a few fans applauding at the end of yesterday's game. That infuriated me.

Last season QPR were a poor side who generally played it long. Warburton has pretty changed their style of play with essentially the same players. There's another Championship manager who promised to do this but his name escapes me......................

Eleven games in and I think it's time to evaluate where we are with Mowbrays proposed change in the style of play. Having seen every game I see players who appear confused by how they should be playing. We started the season by trying to play out from the back but that seems to have been dispensed with as we looked to go longer to Gallagher out on the right touchline. The majority of passes we do play are safe, short and invariably sideways or backwards. We are so easy to play against with our slow, sedate and safe football. For me we have gone backwards with Mowbray confusing fans and players alike with strange tactics and players being out of position.

I have just seen the goals in SSN and they frankly are all embarrassingly poor, much worse than I saw live at the ground. There wasn't one player to come out yesterday with any credit. I noticed yesterday that Mowbray adopted his all too familiar head in hands pose several times as he became frustrated by elementary errors. In the second half he sat down for long periods and Venus seemed to take over the head coach duties.

I honestly can't see Mowbray leaving either of his own volition or being sacked. Who is going to sack him? The guy that Mowbray vouched for? The lunatics on another continent? What about the invisible man Pasha? I think he is as safe as Kean was when he was effectively writing his own contracts. It's been well known that Mowbray likes to pick the low hanging fruit. He likes to bring players in who he knows and also coaches he knows too. His safe football is based around not losing or narrow wins. The post about us only coming from behind once to win a Championship game under him is damning and should be enough for him to tender his resignation. To reiterate what many have said he has taken us as far as he can and soon as will begin to regress.

Just on the train back. Disappointed doesn't do it justice. Mowbray is all over the place now. It was summed up when I saw Bennett given a note by somebody on the bench. He passed it to Evans and he gave it to Lenihan. It was actually Evan's best pass of the game. It was like nobody on the bench wanted to speak to the players.

I agree with you. At Reading I thought he had arguably his best game for us get on Tuesday he was anonymous and was rightly taken off. This inconsistency could well hold him back. That said his ability is beyond question and his record of 40 goals in 100 games is excellent. Off the top of my head I can't recall many chances he has missed in his time here.

I'm not sure of your definition of being screwed over applies here. If that was the case then you could argue Venkys screwed Bowyer over because they have given Mowbray a lot more to spend.

How did Gibson screw him over? I'm intrigued because he has a reputation as being one of the most supportive owners in football.

I actually think it's a proper atmospheric ground surrounded by houses on three sides with an almost retro feel to it. The view from the away upper tier is on of the best in the league. When I compare it to some of these soulless edifices it is one of the most enjoyable grounds to visit.
