Set pieces are always reflective of coaching on the training ground. Those numbers do not reflect well on Tomasson at all.

Why are you so fixated with a transfer from 4 and a half years ago? Mowbray signed 3 strikers in 12 months for a combined 15m. The money overall IMO was well spent, one scored loads and generated a massive profit that wasnt reinvested. Another scored loads and should have generated another big fee but said owners stopped it. The third was undoubtedly overpriced, hardly a total failure as an average Championship striker but not worth that fee. You have ignored my post explaining how they have not funded a reasonable fee for a striker since despite selling Armstrong and blocking the potential for further fees for Brereton and Rothwell that have raised over 10m but should have raised over 20m. We shouldnt (and arent because of that one deal) be hamstrung because a signing we made 5 years ago hasnt been an unqualified success.

Do you have an opinion on my post outlining how Venkys have chosen none of the 3 options of personal investment, reinvestment of considerable Armstrong funds (a Mowbray signing) and the potential reinvestment of Brereton/Rothwell fees that the owners themselves chose to decline in preference of letting them go for free, meaning that (unless I am mistaken) we have not spent more than 2m on a player (Szmodics) across a 5 year period? Its absolute nonsense that you could revert back to the potential restrictive nature of a signing made 4 and a half years ago, for less than half of the Armstrong fee received 2 years after.

Brereton, who we then subsequently turned down an £8m bid for which you fully supported. A decision solely on the owners. He had just sold Armstrong a year prior for 8 figures. We also had Rothwell for whom we turned down £4m for, again down to the owners. How much of this went back into the playing squad? Zilch. And how many of the remaining had we actually paid a fee for? Kaminski who went for a profit. Gallagher, admittedly a poor signing but Armstrong, Gallagher and Brereton for a combined 15m generated a bucket full of conbined goals and had the owners not intervened, it would have been a profit. Pickering, small fee. Most of the others were players that he had brought through from the academy.

Can you explain why they: 1. Havent themselves allowed a fee of over the 2m for Szmodics to be invested on a player across the last 5 years 2. Didnt allow any of the considerable fee received for Armstrong (a striker Mowbray signed) to be reinvested 3. Blocked potential sales of Brereton and Rothwell of a combined 8 figure fee to then allow reinvestment into the club for a new striker/new players

The signing was nearly 5 years ago. Since, we sold another striker Mowbray signed at a massive profit and the money vanished, he wasnt allowed to spend any. We could have sold another striker Mowbray signed, the owners said no and another opportunity for money was gone. The blame for the lack of money invested in the team is on the owners in such a long time. The other strikers we have are a freebie, a player for a nominal fee from the German 4th league and an academy graduate. There is absolutely no way that the fee paid for Gallagher so long ago can in any way be justified as a direct reason to blame Mowbray for this mess. The owners have not themselves invested any money in a striker, reinvested any of the considerable money we have received for a Mowbray striker in that time and actively have blocked potential reinvestment opportunities for other profitable Mowbray signings (especially Brereton) across a considerable time span.

The set up from the start but especially with Sigurdsson as a wing back and Rankin Costello as a third centre back certainly was a manager losing his marbles.

I find it staggering how he even enters your mind after todays game and the current position and run of form considering he left 18 months ago. Why is he still living rent free in your head?

He talked about calming expectations, to me thats just typical manager spiel, trying to lower expectations. Tomasson has been doing it all season. The last January window, Mowbray said he had turned down loans from the Premier League and that he wanted to sell Rothwell as he wanted to spend but he was blocked. In that same window, Revidge claimed he had turned down funds to spend. That was bollocks. But again my point was that hes been gone for 18 months and yet for Revidge he is still getting more blame than the owners somehow. If that money was unspent, why does it then vanish?

The main issue is the owners cutting the budgets etc but this current run isnt acceptable even with the current players. The selection today was bizarre and the shape post substitutions was laughable. Also a better coached side would not be so bad from attacking set pieces and concede so often from defensive ones.

He said he turned down strikers on loan. But either way, my point was more that its such a strange reaction to go down the Mowbray rabbit hole having seen your team limp to a lucky draw at home to a shocking side continuing a woeful run with a poor and thin squad that has been underfunded. All the blame as ever goes everywhere bar to the root cause of all of our problems for RevidgeBlue. Even if we ran with this nonsensical rumour, why did that money never materialise down the line?

Turn down 1m and loan out to a team much closer to us.

The return of the transfer window has led to lots more of this. Random supposed transfer links totally lacking context.

Again the blame is totally deflected from the owners. No doubt that the managers future should start to be questioned. That Broughton albeit with peanuts could have done better. You are even targetting Mowbray again as if thats relevant including ficticious transfer budgets available that funnily enough didnt remain for the next manager. But this squad left is so threadbare and the owners have gone AWOL.

Absolutely shocking performance again. A weridly imbalanced side and the decision to go with Sigurdsson as a wing back and JRC as a right centre back is right up there with any of the weird Mowbray decisions. Another set piece conceded too. Chrisene looks like a fish out of water too in the Chanpionship and our other signing cant even get off the bench. The owners have stripped the squad down of any quality but serious questions should at a normal club be asked of the manager as this isnt acceptable.

He clearly has minimal input into transfers. He seems forever in the dark and last window he repeatedly said he had authorised players that never turned up, and he didnt get what he wants.

"Popping up" where exactly?

I am quite surprised that you are potentially for this deal, considering your opinion on Danny Graham at a time when he was still effective enough to win player of the season here. Jutkeweicz is better in the air than Gallagher, but the latter is quick and powerful, the former is totally immobile now. Gallagher has got 8, 9 and 8 in recent seasons, compared to 8, 2 and 5. Birmingham fans will be nostalgic about a player that a number of years ago was a good player for them. He is not that player now.

Jutkeweicz is also out for 3 weeks with a calf injury.

Not sure weve had 2 good loans this season. Moran has been underwhelming overall, many more anonymous games compared to his effective ones, and regularly played out of position. Perhaps evidence that we sign (well, borrow) who we can rather than what we need. Hill often also played out of position and only stayed for half a season. He impressed at times but ultimately was part of a defence that has been the worst in the league and we needed experience and got a young lad. Weve got 2 more now, neither of whom are likely to be regulars. Ayari seems to be a natural number 10 who contrary to what has been said and assuming an experienced midfielder doesnt come in, is taking our captains position potentially leaving us weaker.

He has 2 this season, 5 last season, 2 the season before. Hes also totally immobile. He isnt better than Gallagher.

It really isnt. Gallagher is a far better striker and that is saying something, especially for the sake of maybe 500k-1m in the owners back pocket never to be seen.

He would be a shocking signing, especially as a replacement for our only competent striker. Hopefully its untrue because it would be the desperate signing of a donkey who couldnt hit a cows arse with a banjo. Im sure it would prompt one or two to say, you wanted experience what more do you want. Not him.

The issue on experience is down to the owners who wont authorise deals for older players as shown with the Batth deal. Waggott is just a fairly powerless clown but the issues are above his head and he seems as clueless as anyone else regarding what the owners ie the real problem are likely to do next.

I suspect there is no truth as per usual if he things weve got millions ready to buy him. Millwall being linked always seemed lazy.
