  1. Me too with Blackpool, Fleetwood and Norwich thrown in!
  2. Well stick a fiver on at 14/1 if that's what you feel! That'll be £70 in your back pocket.
  3. Frustrating we aren't capitalising - yet! We should be out of sight. Douglas offering what we thought he would and Brereton continuing, IMO, to morph from donkey to footballer of talent.
  4. Goals are coming! Open your bottle of beer or bottle of wine, get your feet up and enjoy the feast.
  5. Stuck £50 on more than 3.5 goals @ 3.0 after opener. This could / should be a rout!
  6. You are right, we should. Mowbray talks about how we'll look 12 matches down the line. My prediction, 16 points from the next 6 games to shoot us comfortably into the top 6: Coventry (A) win, Reading (H) win, Swansea (A) draw, M'boro (H) win, QPR (H) win, Luton (A) win This is very doable given those fixtures and the players we have. Don't cock it up Mowbray or lose your bottle. The time is now, seize the moment.
  7. IMO, would be ridiculous if he played tomorrow if a a doctor thinks a scan is needed which is usually indicative of a probable suspected diagnosis. As posted previously, heard he was having it scanned yesterday. A 'tight groin' does not normally justify a scan!
  8. I think Lenihan has stopped progressing, in fact, I would say he's regressing. He's 26 now and getting on for 200 games under his belt. With that type of experience, I think he should be reading the game much better and in many respects, IMO, is an accident waiting to happen.
  9. Tough game this. Robins has done a very good job there. Coventry have played 4 of the top 7 in their opening 6 matches and, given the run of difficult opening games, a 5 point return isn't bad for a newly promoted side. Both teams desperately need to avoid defeat so a draw looks likely. With all these games coming up in a short space of time, I fear for Rovers as I still see many teams, IMO, with a superior mental and physical fitness.
  10. You need to change your mentality Chaddy. I once asked you a question - if you were lying on your death bed and the only person who could save you was a 'Dingle' Consultant Surgeon, what would you do? I think we know the answer. All this sh1te about Burnley is a nonsense. Whether it be Coyle, Cook, Dyche or anyone else with a Burnley connection, if they could move Rovers forward as a club then you would snap their hand off. Time you showed some intellectual maturity.
  11. Heard he was having it scanned today - if that is correct, indicative of a tear. Guess we'll know more at tomorrow's presser.
  12. Paul Cook is twiddling his thumbs - we could do a lot worse. Gets results and success wherever he's been. Has that hard nosed winning mentality we are so desperate for.
  13. We are already 6 points off an auto promo place and 4 points off a play off place - I think that's very relevant. Said it many times, a fast start gives confidence and momentum which take you a long, long way in this league especially when it's a bang average year.
  14. Don't buy all this 'we played well nonsense'. If you consistently play well and don't get results then there is a big, big problem. Played 6, lost 3, points 7, league position 14th - those are the facts that count.
  15. Think he showed last night there are causes for concern. Also, think it's ridiculous Pears was on the bench last night. The signing of the Greek lad was hailed as glowing evidence of how good our Euro scouting is - IMO, the inference is that he's seen as not being good enough and is third choice; IMO, absolutely incredulous to give Pears a four year deal - what world do Waggott and Mowbray live in.
  16. It's all about organisation and coaching and players understanding their roles. It does not take almost four years to get this across - look at Big Sam, wherever he went, defensive issues were mitigated within days (remember his first match for us against Stoke).
  17. IMO, so true. A ballsy decision needed very soon on Mowbray should the scores on the doors not rack up very soon otherwise it could be another season of treading water.
  18. Kenny's record speaks for itself. Souey's record speaks for itself. Big Sam's record speaks for itself. Mowbray, IMO, shouldn't be mentioned in the same breath as those three.
  19. The good managers sign and select players who make minimal mistakes and optimise opportunities. Mowbray signs them, sells them, selects them, motivates them and organises them and therefore the buck well and truly stops with him.
  20. According to Mowbray and LT, Ayala's got a groin issue. That's two weeks minimum in my book.
  21. Tony will say let's take the positives. There are none - we've lost, conceded three (and could have been six), big question marks about Kaminski after tonight, Ayala crocked and IMO, Lenihan an overrated shambles and Bell just Bell (a terrible full back and Watford knew it and exploited). That's seven points from six games and three losses. No confidence and momentum there. Johnson and Evans, IMO, not good enough. Holtby needs some real help in there. Elliott looks extremely confident and assured for a 17 year old and there's a lot more to come from him - did fade in last half hour (though not surprising). Brereton improving - would not have subbed him. Armstrong, wasteful - knew he'd miss the pen, far too cocky walking up to the spot persistently bouncing the ball (all Shearer did was put it on the spot and break the feckin net). Dolan - the lad's card's been marked and Watford had done their homework! Will soon be at the crossroads with Mowbray - this can't go on. Sh1t or bust this season and we are already some distance off the pace. Some on here scoffed at Ivan Toney when Brentford signed him - well he's scored more goals for them this season than Brereton and Gallagher have for us in three combined seasons - says it all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Brentford can certainly work the market!!!
  22. This league is all about organisation, confidence and momentum. Start well and you fly otherwise you will struggle to catch the bus.
  23. Not a clue but you will find him on most of the other 'biggies' like 365, WH, PP etc.
  24. Correct. Young energetic players can hit a brick wall if they aren't managed properly. The lad has so much talent and the 'X Factor' and I would be disappointed if we don't get 30 games out of him this season.
  25. IMO, so true. Have posted a number of times recently that I think we have the players to get us out of this season's bang average Championship, however, IMO, very much doubt Mowbray is the man to get a tune out of them. A tough one tonight - up until now, Watford not scored many and we haven't conceded many!!! Sneaking fancy for us tonight (hope it's not heart over head) but if we don't get out of the starting blocks pretty quickly over the next few matches, I would sack Mowbray - we can't afford another season of treading water. We have the players - the excuses MUST stop and Mowbray MUST deliver and quick.
