I just want a bit of passion and fire now, it’s just so predictable and depressing. Get shot and get Ainsworth, not only would he have the desire and ambition (not just topping up the pension like Tony) but he also deserves the crack, he got Wycombe to the championship and got stung out of keeping them up. People forget Mowbray had just failed at League 1 Coventry (look at them since) when we got him. He isn’t good enough for our club, he was a 3rd division failure.

Came to watch Chorley today instead and hoped to keep my head out of Rovers for my sanity. If we were down to 10 men I actually think Nyambe is the 1st player in that team I want playing. Pace, strength and versatility. Get out Tony

In fairness, we've only won 1 away from home this year! 1-1 draw and cement 8th place

Fixtures below for anyone still holding on to a bit of hope.... I agree with a post above that 75 points feels like a safe number (means Rovers need to win 4 out of 5!) - 6 points at Easter is absolute paramount Though i'd say it's just 1 place from 3 in Luton, Boro and Rovers. With Forest, Huddersfield and Sheffield Utd making up 3rd-5th That Sheffield United away match really was devastating. Missed penalty and a few sitters followed by a last minute winner for them. A 6 point swing there and it's a completely different story. Fulham still have to play Luton and Sheffield Utd so lets hope their lot don't head to the beach early.

Sneaky feeling that Forest will catch Bournemouth. I’d rather play Bournemouth myself if we do somehow sneak into 6th

Peterborough should have won that, unlucky at the end. It’s still points dropped for Luton. 8th looks nailed on for us now. Teams below us not good enough to catch us. Tomorrow Boro home to Fulham Forest home to Coventry

Fully agree with that. Wouldn’t fancy 2 legs against Forest though! Sounds like Peterborough are battering Luton so hopefully they can nick a goal. Regardless, we need 4 wins from our 6 as 74 points looks a minimum need…..and I can’t see that happening regardless of who we have to play.

Yep exactly, great point.

Every pundit has been saying it for months, even the muppets they have in the sky studio were saying it during the death spiral.

Dolan scores his first goal for his country, probably on the biggest possible high, then sits in the bench for 90 minutes. Mowbray logic I’m absolutely devastated by that, Luton draw, Sheff Utd lose, what an opportunity for us going into a home match. Edit: just noticed darrenbot said the same above

DACKYYYY! Who would have thought it! Please be the kick start we all need!

Wing Backs: Less said the better. Both are L1 standard Buckley: Anonymous Rothwell: Even more anonymous - shouldn’t be anywhere near our first 11 for the rest of the season. He’s playing as a poor holding midfielder here. Gallagher: It’s all been said, every week Van Hecke: Red card waiting to happen. At least he’s got some passion Giles: 1 good cross to every 4 that hit the first man Our only hope is we kept it at 1-0 (by fluke) and we have another player revolt here. The season is over though. Bottom half is more likely than playoffs now.

Harsh on Van Hecke. I’m actually ashamed he’s the man with most passion and commitment out there and he’s on loan and gone in a few weeks

Wing backs don’t work when those wing backs are JRC and Pickering. They’re just not athletes - miles off the likes of Spence, Jones etc. who play in this formation also pushing promotion.

Somebody in another thread linked to the 2 other worst collapses in Championship history. Both were Boro…..Both were Mowbray.

All over the show at the back. This has to be the end for those defending the clown in charge.

We are all over the show. That JRC pass, so so bad.

An ambitious and competent manager would have used January to bring in players to consolidate the playoffs, we got back up RBs and an SPL attacker who will barely make the squad if all players are fit. It was criminal and we all called it out at the time.

😂 it’s like he’s taking the piss out of us now

Prediction: Brereton on the bench, some attacking midfielder at right wing back, Rovers lose 2-0, a dire post-match interview from Mowbray and this board (rightly) goes into meltdown at 5pm. Rovers slip down to 8th

We are easily bad enough to lose - I know the international break feels like forever, but our last match we lost to Reading 1-0, a team that have conceded 73 goals this season already.

Huddersfield and Forest both winning before we kick a ball - must win game today for me otherwise we’ll be too far out of reach with all the games in hand others have. What an opportunity we’ve thrown away. Can’t see us going 3-0 up in the 1st half away from home today (or in the next 100 games)

Back to 4-2-3-1 with Lenihan missing the next 1 or 2 matches and Nyambe back. Kaminski Nyambe - van Hecke - Wharton - Giles Travis - Buckley/Rothwell Dolan - Dack - Khadra Brereton Khadra may also be missing with another niggle but you rotate various players into that position.

We were between 4/9 and 1/3 to finish in the Top 6 on the 31st December (odds varied with different bookmakers). And if it makes anyone feel any better (it doesn't). West Brom were between 1/9 and 1/16 at the same point

Bookies have us in for 8th place now, which sounds about right. Sheff Utd, Luton, Boro and Forest to make the playoffs.
