The opening sentence is so true Philip. We should be looking no further than the next game and all the focus should be on that. Luton will provide us with tough opposition and although they have a propensity to concede they can score too. And Rovers fans of long standing know from was experiences that we can make hard work of what are eminently winnable games. I'll take a win of any description.

But it's always exaggerated as to how many wanted him sacked. Can you tell me how many people actually called for his head? Most of the posts I read were genuine concerns and some, as yet are unfounded but the season is a long and arduous process with many turns. I heard one City supporter calling for Guardiola to be sacked last week. That is how some fans think but sometimes there needs to be context as the vast majority do don't.

Most of the fans on here who expressed concerns about Mowbray will be happy to be proved wrong because, surprise surprise they are desperate to see Rovers doing well. And I am one of those who had doubts but there is going to be some taking of moral high ground by some posters which I find sad. I don't get carried away though and I know that our bi polar form of last season can be around the corner.

For me today was easily the best performance of the season and ones of the better away performances of Mowbrays tenure. A couple of 9's, lots of 8's and a couple of 7's in terms of performance was key to this but almost as pleasing as that was the work date which I thought was exceptional. I know it should be a given but today it stood out like a beacon. Although today was about a team effort I have to single out Bradley Dack who once again was outstanding. He was like a terrier snapping around them and at times his skill level was on another plane to the other players. Stewart Downing was also outstanding and marines mockery of anyone who doubted him (me included).

Come on Philip. Gallagher had a season away between his spells here and Chapman had half a season. I'm talking about loans turned into permanent straight away.

I would agree pre Venky's. I can't recall too many loans who became permanent since they rocked up.

It looks like there is dissent amongst the ranks. Hopefully Waggott is with them otherwise we will get left behind. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49771802 And in other EFL news. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49762170

At Wembley ??

I heard today that on Saturday 18th April we are at Millwall. On the same day Burnley are at West Ham and Nobbers are at Brentford. That is surprising given that we normally alternate home fixtures with that lot. Euston Station could be lively.

He looks like he has all the pieces - hopefully Mowbray can put them together. I can't say I remember him playing over here but reading this thread he sounds promising. We really need to pay Smallwood up now and cancel his contract to let him move on.

That was one of the low points of the season for me. Reading were arguably the worst side in the Championship last season and we only took one point against them. Mowbray should take the brakes off for this game and get at them from the start. Somehow though I don't think he will. If anybody is planning on going I have a couple of spare seats in my car and will be leaving around 9.30. Please PM if you are interested.

When we got relegated the season ticket price stayed the same despite an awful season and I don't think the sales suffered too much. After promotion the prices went up by around 18%and sparked some real debate about the justification for it. From a club point of view it was naive in the extreme and Waggott and Co tried to justify by saying we were in the Championship. They simply didn't cash in on the feel good factor after promotion and on the back of a sell out against Oxford. I think Waggott completely misjudged the local people and instead of speaking to supporters about how attendances can be improved he went ahead with a significant and unjustified increase. There have been lots of good ideas on the various attendance threads which Waggott would do well to read and cherry pick the more practical and workable ones. I find it ironic that we got slapped with a large increase whilst the people who decided on that increase don't pay for their attendance. In fact the likes of Waggott and Cheston will more than likely be wined and dined too.

If he has travelled by car from Germany surely it would be a left hand drive so it appears that the driver took the picture.

But the counter argument is that Johnson has been fundamental to the recent clean sheets as he screens the central defenders better than any other player. I have been happy with the Johnson/Travis pairing so far and collectively and individually they are light years ahead of any other central midfielders.

Have they actually contacted the new renewals to ask why they have bought one?

Aside from the result one real positive was the form of Bradley Dack who looked like he is getting back to his best. He looked fitter and sharper than he has for a while and he was finding space in the final third. He showed his strength on a few occasions and used his backside well to shield the ball in a way Danny Graham does. And his goal looked like an easy finish but anybody who knows the game will say it wasn't'

Surely then Mowbray is using him wrongly by playing him wide right. Yesterday he put in a couple of decent crosses from the right and we only had Armstrong in the box against two but centre halves. It should be the other way around which is exactly how we scored against Sheffield United. I've said it many times before but Mowbray over complicates what are essentially simple situations.

A good thing has happened to Chelsea with the transfer embargo they are currently under. Yesterday they started with three Academy graduates who all scored and with Hudson-Odoi and Loftus-Cheek due back soon they could have five home grown English players starting. I think had they not been under embargo they would have splurged millions on foreigners and sent their own players out on loan. Hopefully other clubs are taking note. But historically I agree they have been bad for our game.

We had to work hard today and the effort was one of the most pleasing aspects for me. The game was poor in quality and at times lacked any real tempo but the bottom like is three points and a clean sheet so it's difficult to be too critical. One area where we looked like we have improved is game management and seeing games out. Little fouls here and there, little injuries and keeping possession have got us through several games now where possibly in seasons last we may have dropped points.

I agree he should but there isn't a snowball in hells chance of it happening in my view. In the same vein Armstrong should be benched but I think he will start.

Fulham v West Brom is currently on Sky and the production is really poor with a really low camera position due to the building of a new stand.

He played in the under 23's towards the end of last season and scored some goals. I didn't see any improvement in him when he got first team game time after that.

Good. It's about time the faceless football authorities in this country were made accountable for their actions (and lack of them). The only disappointment for me is that it's only one club who are seemingly pushing this action. If every other club put their weight behind it surely it would strengthen the case. Watch out for the name of Shaun Harvey when the case comes up.

I think this seasons deal was triggered by a clause in his last deal so I would assume he only has this season. I don't know if any similar clauses are in the latest contract. Consider his attitude to Smallwood who refused to play on Monday and I'm told turned down a loan move forwards the end of the window.
