No danger of a new manager or new signings then. The last thing the club would want is fans wanting to buy a season ticket and having the conundrum of choosing who gets to go.

For the good of social distancing they should stick to what they’re doing and no one will want to go anyway.

2 outcomes to this game :-

 

1. Mowbray sorts this complete shit out at HT and we win this must win game.

2. Mowbray doesn't, we lose with a wimper and he walks 10pm.

 

Or the highly likely 3rd option. Nothing changes everyone happy picking up a decent wage under no pressure nothing changes and we limp on towards next season. 

Can we not kidnap their Bennett and leave our one behind for compensation

tony`s wife likes him,he walks the mowbray dog and washes tony`s car,he certainly is`nt in the side for footballing reasons

Nah.

Often the most obvious explanation is usually correct. So it seems clear to me that Tony being fond of choccy biccies was caught romancing some sort of Victoria sponge American pie style. Bennett seeing this filmed him on his phone and is using it as a way of leveraging himself into the team as captain.

Obvious really  

I’d love to find out what it is Bennett has over Mowbray. 

Decent draw. We’re such a bloody frustrating side. Get results against the better teams in the league but add a bit of play off pressure there’s a total meltdown against even the worst sides in the division.

That was a classic piece of play and commentary, picnics, Nasser foot in mouth, no ball wicket and Sibley deathwish and all in 6 balls

FFS back to Angel cake and Tea. I appeal to Sky to sort this crap out

Unbelievable.

We went to Moor Hall about two years ago when he had one star. It was a midweek and a bit quiet so lacking a bit in atmosphere and service a bit stiff but the food was excellent, as good as I've eaten. The Barn is less formal although a step up from a good gastropub.

We've also been to both L'Enclume and the Bistro in Cartmel. L'Enclume irritated us - it felt like they were trying too hard to be edgy, especially with the wine flight. we much preferred the Bistro.

But still, despite Moor Hall probably having the edge on food quality, we prefer Northcote for the overall experience. Especially the wine events, although if and when they will start again, who knows.

I believe the restaurant is open again on Wednesday 29th of July with a 5 course gourmet menu (wine flight available). Presumably different lunch menu.

Wycombe, I’ve never been to their ground.

Agreed. I’d also like to go to West Ham from potential teams coming down 

Useful runs at the end. I’m going to be uncharacteristically optimistic and say we’ll have too much for their batting line-up. 

Fair play to holder. On the face of it there’s not a lot too him but his stats as an all-rounder for the last 18 months or so are incredible

I’ve been wanting things to go back to normal. Would have liked the England batting collapse to have stayed in the past though.

And that’s another part of my frustration there’s some bloody awful teams in this division that have occupied 6th. And we still can’t manage it. 

I feel more frustrated than celebratory tonight. Same old story of pressure off and we perform. 

Then a  combination of disinterested/disengaged owners and the ability to appoint your own chairman means have another Teflon manager. Haven’t addressed the defence in years, prone to 2-3 prolonged meltdowns per season (Last season was it clubs longest winless run since the war or something), wasted serious money on donkeys and unable to make signings. Hard to see any sunny uplands from this.

Best case: another season bumbling around mid table. Worst case: Bury.

The eternal question.

But in this case, precaution against injury to JRC. We could have moved Downing there though.

Always option of playing with 10 men over Bennett. 

I know nothing about ice hockey but I went a few times in the late 90s. Quite enjoyed it but just stopped going for some reason. Back then I seem to recall they were at a fairly decent standard (not exactly sure at what level). Also I think they had a Canadian player who was quite good either used to play at a higher level or went on to. 

Beating Cardiff or even a West Brom is just the sort of result Rovers pull off to either to dangle the carrot or to keep the status quo intact.

Instead we've got merry go round Mowbray. Does anyone believe he gave the team a bollocking after the game? Anyone think he's distraught/devastated after once again wasting a glorious chance to move into the top 6? 

Not a chance. They’re all on easy street just picking up a wage. I’ve never once felt any of them care beyond the most basic level of professional pride. As for any bollockings why would he get irate his job isn’t on the line just another day at the office. 

I’m not exactly sure what the relationship was between Mowbray and Waggott was before his time at rovers. But I do wonder how many clubs have had a manager that’s effectively appointed the chairman. It all seems a little too cosy for my liking.

Of all the disappointments on the pitch and incompetence from the very top it’s bizarre things like that that grind me down bit by bit. 

What might have been. Instead we’ve got Tonebola saying never mind Elliott you’re still my favourite while handing out his wife’s lemon drizzle cake. 

Roll up! Roll up! Buy your season ticket at rovers. Come and witness the amazing Bennett a master of all positions. More ponytails, alice bands and beards than goals. The ring master Tonebola and his eenie meenie miney mo approach to team selection and tactics. 

Square pegs round holes. Clueless manager.

Actually - good.

We've played shit. Mowbray needs to go. I'd lose them all from here until the beginning of next season if it results in his departure. 

He was able to ride out 9 defeats in 11 was it last season. He’s bulletproof. 

Woeful again.
