Sorry... this weakens the case for wanting Mowbray out, how?

 

Does it take the quality of the player into account?

BB and SG can hit as many shots as they like but no ones expecting them to go in.

Anybody still think Mowbray's job is on the line?

Don't think it ever has been.

Rotherham play 2 games before we kick a ball and then their next game is on Sunday.

Be a clearer picture a week today.

I should be concerned about more teams below us. Of the teams below us only Birmingham won. Rotherham ought to have - bad news for us. One more defeat for Wycombe and we can't finish bottom. 2 more defeats for Wednesday and the lowest we can finish is 22nd. Swansea could be bad news for both those teams this week.

Big week for us next week as Rotherham start to play catch up with a game on Tuesday and then another on Thursday.

If Venkys persist with Mowbray after todays defeat, they deserve relegation.

5 subs?

Is this a fucking friendly?

Argh! FFS.

Wow,we've actually managed a goal

Just gotta hope Rotherham don't put a run together as we are so, so bad. 

Yep, we are reliant on them not getting enough points.

0-0 with Hudds for them at the moment.

FFS.

Sick of this shit. Every game the same.

Not much drive in that midfield.

He keeps saying 'we'll see what happens' in regards to summer. A small part of me is now thinking he's agreed to step aside at the end of the season.

Not sure how that would pan out though as a winning run might see it kyboshed. Even if not he'll probably still be here in some capacity till his contract runs out  So would Venus, probably in his place.

It would probably suit the finances better though and save a pay off now which might have penalty clauses attached to it. Not sure it'll work out great for the football side of it though. It' time his influence on that was removed altogether. 

Apart from Kean coming back, that's probably the worst situation I could imagine.

Sounds like we have options on a lot of players contracts and will take them up.

Nyambe, JRC and Rothwell are the mains ones.

Bennett, Johnson, Downing, Bell, Evans, Holtby, Mulgrew and Chapman also all out of contract. 

Surely Evans, Mulgrew, Downing and Bennett will be allowed to leave?

Its very obvious rovers are going to struggle today. Cardiff are a massive side physically and will play to their strengths. Set pieces are a worry with us having such a small side. Hope we are up for the battle.

😂

If Mowbray is still in charge, what's the betting Bennett becomes our number 1 right back?

Wouldn’t surprise me if they are given until the end of season, either that they’ll be gone next week 

The problem with sacking him next week is, what if (by some miracle) we win tomorrow? Unlikely to sack him after a win, surely?

Assume Mowbray will set us up to lose now the fans have rumbled the Coventrio's little game.

So, same set up as normal then....

Well now it will be!

Is this what @Mercer was alluding to when he said it was bigger than just Mowbray being binned? (Something along those lines anyway)

Brockhall sale not going ahead.

@Mercer @oldjamfan1 does this mean the Coventrio are on there way out?

Just about to post the same.

We live in hope 🙏

Just for fun I decided to have a look at the last 15 games (league only) of Mowbray and the two previous sacked managers (I've ignored Lambert). 

Makes grim reading for old Tony.

Mowbray - P15 / W2 / D4 / L9 - 0.67 PPG

Coyle - P15 / W4 / D4 / L7 - 1.07 PPG

Bowyer - P15 / W3 / D8 / L4 - 1.13 PPG

Interestingly both Bowyer and Coyle were sacked going into an international break so looks like we missed the boat the other week.

I cannot understand how anyone with such a record is still clinging on. Man of integrity...

Its because:

Its about performances, not results

The stats say we should be promoted already.

There is light at the end of the tunnel.

But also:

Its about results

We don't look at stats

The tunnel collapsed

Think the decision to sack him has been made but cos we used HSH agency if they dont have a suitable candidate might be why hes not gone yet. 

I mean if our search is limited to one agency, what's the point?

It would in fact just show how little Venkys have been paying attention over the last 10 years, or how much they actually care.

Slavia Prague manager would be worth a look for an ambitious club. 

We don't need to worry about that.

More bullshit from Mowbray, who would have thought it?

Wow - Travis was fit.

Mowbray lied then saying he isn't fit etc etc

Where have you seen that?
