No you can't! I reckon somehow we will beat Preston and, sadly IMO, prolong the tenure of our hapless manager.

I think Mowbray is a dull and uninspirational football man who got lucky last season. We need hungry and innovative football folk in key positions at Rovers.

If Preston hammer and humiliate us, it might hasten the departure of Mowbray. I think we are back to the Kean days.

Incredible that you have a scrap of faith left in Mowbray. Think you would be still backing him if we end up at Pleasington! I'd even take C o y l e over Mowbray. I find Mowbray so uninspiring - I think all he prattles on about are values which masks the fact that, IMO, he is capable of little else connected to Rovers.

Your words don't wash Mowbray. You sign the players, you sell / loan out the players, you coach the players, you select the players, you set-up the team, you chose the tactics and you pick your assistants (Venus and Lowe). If you make the wrong decisions you pay the price. The buck stops with you. Do the honourable thing and go.

Think it's quite clear Mowbray is not the man for us. I can't see what he offers us other than those bloody values. Again, IMO, no point prolonging the agony. Giving him the summer or to Oct / Nov would be b 0 l l 0 c k s and, IMO, a waste of another season.

The overhaul needs to start now with the sacking of Mowbray. Even the 'happy clappers' must be getting pi$$ed off with this shite.

Seems like some are worried by 'the mighty' Rotherham. Some perspective needed. Might be a tad physical but hey ho, it's football and it's the Championship! We are playing third from bottom of the league! Get Brereton in - what is he, man or mouse PhilipL? He's been bought to fire us some goals. Can only see a Rovers' win here. Backed the win at 15/8 and 3-1 at 22/1. Fill yer boots and have a bit of fun with the winnings!

I'd go: Friedel / Newton, England, Hendry, Le Saux / Douglas, Tugay, Clayton, Duff / Shearer, Pickering Subs: Flowers, Berg, Nelsen, Ferguson, Sherwood, Bellamy, Sutton

Absolute nonsense. Without supporters there would simply be no club. You ignore the supporters at your peril. When fans turn on a manager, he's toast. As for Mowbray's explanations, I personally find many of them to be baffling and contradictory. After Kean and C o y l e, I think supporters have cut Mowbray a lot of slack and, IMV, he's one lucky man who at most gets a 5 out of 10 from me. .

Dack undoubtedly is 'the' acquisition of Mowbray's reign. I think Armstrong flatters to deceive - delivers in very small spurts and then disappears. Clearly has a nice turn of pace but, IMO, very little else, least of all a football brain. Smallwood a great League One signing but I think the lad is seriously out of his depth in Championship. Reed is a loan signing. Showed so much promise early doors but fading badly maybe, IMO, as a result of Mowbray's mismanagement who has played him here, there and everywhere. The lad is a central midfielder and where we need to see him consistently. Throw, IMO, the expensive calamitous Brereton signing into the mix (according to Mowbray signed on the basis of a performance against us for Forest when it seems Williams and Feeney were our left hand side!) and I think it represents poor player trading.

Seem to recall Mowbray saying on Thursday night that there would be some games where the new hard bastard of a centre half would 'sit out for Lenihan and Mulgrew' on the basis of horses for courses. Could you imagine Shankly or Wenger saying to Ron Yeats / Tony Adams respectively 'this game isn't for you son' !

You mean someone reading posts on here before the event!?

and we got away with it because League One is pi$$ poor. I think even C o y l e would have got us up!

Sounds like I need to go to the local more often! Spoke with a couple of friends on their way home and feeling was, despite one friend having the deepest of blue eyes, was that the result just papers over many of the cracks which are getting bigger by the game. Heard it was 2-2 in the pub and was just waiting for a Brum winner to go in. 2-1 up and we concede a late equaliser within a couple of minutes. Irrespective of Raya error or not, Mowbray picks the feckin team and if he will keep picking players who make errors then.....................................Unbelievable.

Had enough of this misery. Only consolation is I backed Brum this morning and the winnings will come in very handy for tonight. Off to the local to wet my whistle.

Some players almost 'go' or 'lose it' overnight. Very worrying signs with Mulgrew.

Think Bowyer bottled it in the end with his cautiousness and tactics but he did make some very good signings (whoever was scouting with him <maybe his dad>) did a feckin good job. Bowyer's recruitment was head and shoulders ahead of Mowbray's.

We all know football is a funny old game. Whilst it remains 1-0, anything can happen. If Brum get an early 2nd then this we could end up with a real spanking. A friend who is at the match and sees all matters Rovers through the bluest of eyes has texted to say even his 'I've had enough threshhold' has been broken this afternoon!

What the feck do you expect from fans when our performances and results are bombing? Perhaps you think we should extend Mowbray's contract again in order to give him a confidence boost!?

Interestingly enough, Mowbray spoke about strengthening both up front and at the back on Thursday night, however, I don't recall him mentioning midfield!

And even the soldiers seem to have stopped fighting!

Things will not get any better. The 'happy clappers' will trot out: Let's see what he does in the summer window Let's see where we are in Oct / Nov I think the writing is on the wall and, as far as I am concerned, has been for some considerable time. Mowbray failed to keep us up, brought us back but, IMO, we are now in sharp regression. Time to move on with a hungry and innovative new man.

25 goals conceded and just 10 goals scored. Equivalent to conceding almost 60 away goals in a full season - a damning statistic.
