All I take from that is we should expect to be 5th but we are in fact 17th. Strengths the argument for Mowbray out (if it wasn’t already rock solid).

Looks like the weather might have thwarted us here. Shame as the last time we scored over 400 at home to sussex during the first game of a season and started the campaign with successive homes matches was 2011...

In light of no one travelling to games having made prior arrangements I don’t mind if I’m annoyed and frustrated at 2pm or 7pm than the usual 5pm. See Mowbray’s gurning face at midday or midnight it’s all the same

I don’t even think we need to play half decently just dominate one stat (in the world of mogga preferably possession in our half) for him to think everything is rosy.

I was only just thinking the same

1 win in 15. Tony had a dream to build a football team. Unfortunately his dream is the stuff of nightmares

Must admit I always thought journalist was an umbrella term for them all. Either way the point remains for sharpe I doubt there’s a Pulitzer Prize for investigative reporting in the pipeline. Just get 500 words down of which the vast majority will be quotes or a bland timeline of events then pick up his pay check. Suppose like any other industry the cream rises to the top and the likes of Sharpe will consider themselves fortunate they’ve ascended beyond covering cheese rolling. Unfortunately for us fans we get someone not prepared to do some proper journalism

He actually talks more sense than Mowbray. Nothing about being a performance related manager. He seems to understand it’s a results business.

Even if the drongos at sky knew they wouldn’t bring it up. Would go against Tony is a nice guy doing a great job mantra.

Couldn’t find the 1 win in 17 unless miscounted but not looking again. 🤣 1935-36 1 win in 16 (2 different managers) 1968-69 1 win in 16 (Eddie quigley) 1978-79 1 win in 16 (John Pickering) 1970-71 1 win in 15 (Johnny Carey) Tony Mowbray 1 win in 14 not out 2011-12 1 win in 13 (Steve Kean). Esteemed company there. I think he’s going for the record. He might as well be remembered for something

Here’s a question for the stattos. I always thought that in terms of wins Rovers worst run of form was 1 win in 13 (12 defeats tbf) at the end of the 1966 session. Has there been any worse? If not Mowbray’s 1 win 14 already makes him responsible for an undesirable club record. Pretty decent effort for a man some still hold in high regard.

Another match day and the opposition are almost irrelevant with the Mowbray led circus in full swing. Everybody I know in the real world now wants Mowbray gone. I even know a fully paid up disciple who conceded “after great memories his time is up.” I must have missed the great part - Relegation, bank rolling league one, then mediocrity. Can’t even recall a cup run. With Mowbray sleep walking us into a relegation battle we definitely need the points. But in a hypothetical scenario of winning and Mowbray staying or losing 8-0 and Johnson taking charge for the rest of the season I’ll chose the latter.

I’ve noticed the ostrich mentality a lot with a section of rovers fans. Yesterday was a great example. Head removed from the sand after presumably months and the first question is “why is it only a thing now the team is on a bad run.” It became a thing (late January early February was it) as soon as someone discovered the clubs underhand way of applying for planning permission BEFORE they attempted a consultation meeting. Pure coincidence our bad runs go on for months on end. Can’t say I’m surprised see it all the time. Talk of the owners - head in the sand. Talk of the manager - head in the sand. Talk of the management hierarchy - head in the sand. So when it comes to a combination of the downright incompetent and chancers promising a state of the art “fully integrated” training facility that would only reach the same standards the current one is, instead of questioning the decade of disasters and looking at the track record of the people involved it’s far easier to, yup, put their heads in the sand.

Having said time and time again I do not believe Mowbray will be going anywhere on Monday evening I foolishly allowed myself to believe he’d sacked on Tuesday. Obviously when nothing happened I think this week I’ve been as low as a rovers fan as any point under kean and coyle. For me Kean is still the nadir as a rovers fan but the sheer volume of nonsense that comes out of Mowbray’s mouth can stand up against anything Kean said.

This is good news but it comes to a thing where good things are just maintaining something we already have and preventing the club trashing jacks legacy. The club has embarrassed itself here, yet again, and it’s in an area it never needed to. Half baked ideas that were at best unlikely and worst totally delusional. Also nice to know there’s fans out there still willing to stand up to those in the club who are not fit for purpose.

The more I think about that the more it’s winding me up. I mean how arrogant do you have to be to dismiss a 1 win in 14 games run with a shrug of the shoulders and the assertion that you’re a performance based coach. The ultimate irony is the performances are usually as poor as the results.

It’s fair enough. People who were so vociferous in Mowbray’s defence will need a way to save face. I’m happy with allowing anyone that we all want what’s best for rovers whether they’ve backed the wrong horse or not. Similar to those who agree with any sacking from ince to coyle only the day after they’ve gone. Unfortunately, far more hated Kean following his departure than did at the time.

Mowbray and Venus will go as a package you’d think. 2/3rds of the CovenTrio gone. Swags position weakens. Who knows might just keep the training ground at the standard it is.

I’ve been fairly critical of Andy Bayes (well all of them) for not asking any tough questions. So fair play that he’s stepped up to the plate eventually. As a side note I wonder what that journalist character who came on here in the recent past, then left in a hissy fit once people questioned his logic, is thinking about Mowbray tonight.

If Tonebola does go I’ll be delighted, however, it happens but I’ll be slightly mad if the reason is because of a few questions from the media. What is waggott actually there for some sort of Mowbray cheerleader. Following him round brockhall chanting give me an T, give me an O, give me an N, give me a Y.

I have zero sympathy for the Venkys. They keep on employing cretins but from their point of view I can see them sat in India saying we have zero interest in running this football club, regret getting involved, but we employ people on vast salaries to do it for us (swag on £300k, dread to think what pasha is on) yet 10 years and £200 million in it’s still a car crash. If only they’d listened to the management structure we had in place when they bought us. Nope they had to side with Jerome Anderson. But they’re business people albeit 2nd generation. They must be asking what swag has done ever for £300k. Why pasha has missed the signs of the dysfunction nature of a manager appointing the ceo. It’s barmy

It’s midnight in Pune so it’s safe to assume, even if he has the intention to do so, Pasha won’t be phoning this late with the trivial matters of the implosion of a thing they once bought over a decade ago. Picturing it a bit like d-day where the German generals were too afraid to wake Hitler even though knew the end was nigh.

I think the reason why he’s judged harshly for not walking is because he’s said with his integrity he’d walk if he became a burden. So when he’s become a burden and still not prepared to walk just proves he either hasn’t got the integrity he claimed to have or he’s a lair. Possibly both.

He’s just not in touch with reality. We’ve not played well this calendar year. Millwall was ok, everything else has been a range of poor to atrocious

That laugh that came out was the initial reaction of an arrogant man who knows he’s bulletproof regardless of how he tried to explain it away.
