It's 99% guaranteed that this will happen. It's just the same season pattern repeated with an average start, followed by a good run, then an absolutely abysmal run of form, finally ending with another good spell when anything worth playing for is out of reach. This season is no different and we'll end up sat in midtable by the end of it. If Venkys aren't actively looking for a new manager for the summer, I'll be fuming (so, I'll be fuming). They are obviously just sat around waiting to have Mowbray and Waggot to fly out and grovel before they do anything.

We've not had a decent manager under Venkys, let alone paying compo for one. Did we end up paying compensation for Appleton?

Couldn't keep up with the game due to other commitments. No surprise to see the result. All teams below us have games in hand and can overtake us. Another shambolic run Mowbray is taking us on.

He has these odds thoughts at times. Anyone can score goals Anyone can play Right Back

For me, irrespective of what happens between now and the end of the season, I'd be quite happy to part ways with Mowbray. In the unlikely event he gets us promoted, it would be practically unthinkable to let him leave but this season has shown, even though he got us into 2nd place, he's still the same old stubborn Tony, making the same old mistakes and frustrating decisions. As JHRover says at the start of the thread, Venkys ambition will stretch as far as ringing the same agency up and seeing which washed up has been we can rescue off the managerial scrapheap. Pulis, undoubtedly would be installed as our new gaffer. The squad needs an alarming amount of work and Venkys won't provide much backing, FFP the obvious blocker/excuse. In any case, we are in serious trouble next season.

None. Brereton might very well end up signing for a prem club but I don't think he'll be very successful.

In 10 games time he might not have to learn Mowbrays system anymore.

Mowbray said in an interview after the window that we had the chance to sign a striker but opted not to because it's not the way we play. Someone posted the link in the Millwall thread. A decision that looks more and more insane as each goalless game passes.

A new manager would surely see we can't score in a brothel and bring in a striker. If Mowbray is still here, and I suspect he will be, we won't.

I actually don't think we'll be that much better off with BBD back. There should be some improvement but he can't, and shouldn't have to, do it all by himself.

Back to his absolute frustrating best. Season is just going fizzle out to a slide into midtable. Rothwell, Nyambe, Lenihan all walk. No funds to replace. Khadra, Giles and Van Heke all return to their clubs. Next season will be a real struggle.

Khadra........ .......great.....

Unfortunately, he's more interested in wide strikers running up and down in the channels when out of possession than he is about scoring goals. Weird that he's gone from chucking as many strikers as he can onto the pitch, to having as few as he can get away with.

When was the last time we actually posed a threat from set pieces? Under Allardyce at a guess?

Literally admitting he has no plan B or even any intention of creating one.

Absolutely no surprise we didn't score.

He can't figure out who to sub off because Nyambe isn't playing.

This has 0-1 Millwall written all over it.

How the hell has he not scored there?

Sakes

If they are strong at set pieces, that's a problem for us.

Doesn't mention it in the preview on the Rovers website.

Lampards teams have always conceded goals. Such a weird appointment for a team in a relegation battle.

Elden Ring, anyone played? I've not played a souls game before and they are supposed to be really difficult, although I've read that this one isn't as bad? Don't know if I wanna buy it, if it basically means I'll be chucking my controller through the TV.
