Yep, Mowbray against IInce, that's a managerial masterclass for the ages. It's like Klopp v Guardiola. In reverse.

Bournemouth winning, Millwall losing.

Players look to have given up, manager looks to have given up. Appalling stuff.

Any line up without Gallagher in is a bonus so at least we'll be starting with eleven men tonight.

I'm sick to death of everything associated with the Club at the moment if I'm being honest. It was obvious we needed to sign a decent striker in January in case of anything happening to BBD. Our glorious leader apparently chose not to do this and consequently we've seen one goal in TWELVE hours of football and have chucked away the best chance of promotion we'll ever have. On top of that our £5m centre forward Gallagher continues to do everything humanly possible to avoid getting into areas from which it might be possible to score a goal and Hedges, blimey. We'd seemingly been chasing him for 2 transfer windows and on evidence to date you could find better down the Pub. Still, on the bright side, at our current rate of progress we can look forward to 1/2 more goals before the end of the season. Wonder when they'll be?

Well, thank god the manager chose not to bring in another striker in January. We might have had to celebrate the odd goal had that happened.

To be fair done better than JRC when filling in in that position.

Yep, started coming for it but stopped then came again leaving himself in no man's land.

Appalling display from Kaminsky, when you're playing the best team in the League you need everyone at the very least to do their jobs competently and not make any basic mistakes and he failed to do that today. Up until his howler for the first I thought we competed well but given the current lack of goals in the side if we conceded the first goal it was always likely to be game over and so it proved. Five points from twenty one and the January transfer business looks more horrific by the week. Can't wait until the end of the season and Mowbray hopefully sods off.

That's great news if correct.

Optimism usually has some foundation in reality. That's just being silly.

Last chance saloon for any play off hopes I fear. Need 3 points by any means necessary to stop the rot. Looking ahead we need some improved form and a few goals as well.

He has to go now doesn't he? Try and salvage something out of the season. God only knows where the next goal is coming from let alone the next win.

As a season ticket holder I'd be very annoyed to be battling for a play off ticket with somone who'd bought a bundle for the last 5 games who had equal priority.

This bundle would be fine in theory if we were still in the thick of the promotion mix by the last five games but my initial reaction is that it's far too late in the season. Automatic promotion already seems extremely unlikely. if we've also played ourselves out of play off contention by that time we'll be flogging a dead horse. Smacks of trying to promote an offer for the Sheff Utd game in the immediate aftermath of a record 0-7 home loss v Fulham.

Sunderland fans seem to hasve sussed him out pretty quickly as did most of us. I'm not sure what it says about the various managers here including the present incumbent who kept playing him and giving him new contracts. As with Jason Lowe a case of if your face fits I guess.

Find it disappointing that as a key member of the Fans Forum you're treating the matter so flippantly John.

Sorry the site doesn't seem to be working properly for me on my mobile at the moment. Can't quote and it's spacing like the post above. Any suggestions?

Really enjoyed the Khan v Brook fight, that undercard though, Christ you could hhave got better opponents down the Pub than the muppets the prospects were facing.

Waggott has sent the Millwall fans back with some "perishable food" according to Lancs Live. Adding "It's a little gesture but enough". Talk about adding insult to injury Saves us having to throw it away I suppose. You couldn't make it up.

Taking all that as read and especially being aware of all the existing problems then surely that's all the more reason to take the simple precaution of covering the pitch close to a game during spells of exceptionally bad weather then?

We haven't had any actual explanation of why the game was postponed. If as you're insinuating it was postponed due to excess water on the pitch, pretty clear it should have been covered with two storms passing through and known drainage problems with the pitch then?

No point arguing about this, have to agree to disagree, if you're correct then seemingly the manufacturers of the pitch heating technology don't understand how their own products work. Unless of course the 30 year old system at Ewood operates in a different way to modern ones.

I think myself and Mercer were the ones who attempted to to introduce some factual content to the debate by explaining how under soil heating works. And it backs up my complaints. Ok, let's assume the heating is working but that we thought it wasn't cold enough for the heating to be on. In that case the snow must have caught us on the hop. If the heating is on in advance of the snow the game goes ahead unless the drainage on the pitch isn't good enough to deal with the excess water. If the latter is the case, don't bother with tghe heating but cover the pitch instead.
