In that case it's appropriate for you.

He's had 3 days ffs grow up

Grow up? Maybe he shouldn't have taken the job until tomorrow if he was going to forfeit his first game.

He picked the same dross players that we need to be dumping. "FFS".

[AAK]

Dominated first half apparently but yet had ZERO shots on target, and second half should have been beaten. Same old, the team just isn't good enough for me, no criticism of manager, apart from brining on seniors lover boy who looks an absolute dolloper. The team IS NOT good enough, I don't think some people realise that.

First test for Mowbray: failed.

Must win game not won. Same mistakes in team selection made. The stats show that we are better off without Lowe, yet he continues to be picked.

Over to the apologists to start making their excuses.

Fair points but I'm not altogether surprised he erred on the side of caution with his first team selection.

If he continues doing  the same  when it clearly isn't working then yes, it might be more of a reason for criticism.

I would say tonight was a must not loose, so target accomplished. It could have been better, but the fight goes on.

 

Agree rigger. To have lost and gone 9 behind Burton would have been  disaster. As it stands gives him a bit more time to see what hes got and plan his approach.with 3 massive home games coming . Minimum 6 points from those 3 or it does start to get rather tight with some tough away games coming and games running out. I think we will know how to rate our chances after Cardiff.

As someone has already said that was a 'must not lose' game rather than a 'must win'. A point is a decent start for Mowbray. It's encouraging we had so much of the ball simply because we aren't the best defensively.

The over-rated Lambert lost again. That's 4 in a row, and 5 out of the last 6. 

Bristol City away to Newcastle tomorrow. Wigan at home to Forest. 

All to play for.

Good to see that Stuart is happy. He really does not winning very well

Sorry about that Stuart.

If I come down to your level you'll beat me with experience.

A win would have been great but unlikely after just 3 days with the squad

[jim mk2]

Lowe gets blamed for picking the team now.

Remarkable. 

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

I was expecting a loss so a draw isn't the end the World. Win in the week and things will look a bit brighter. That game is a must win. To me the worrying thing is we appeared to start well but go off the boil in the second half again. Our lack of fitness striking again.

Oh, the irony!!!

If you don't understand what big words mean you shouldn't use them.

[Irishrover213]

 tonight was a must not loose. We need to beat wigan on Sat if not we're in trouble out game in hand is against Fulham away sounded like a good performance but was following game on Twitter. At least we didn't lose

Hang on , were you not whinging the other day about posters being respectful to different views?

Actually we did fail, we failed to beat Burton,  imo it was important we didn't get beat , can't read to much into Mowbrays reign as the team was probably suggested by Lowe and Dunn, so hopefully he makes his own mind up on a couple of players in the next few games.

Jesus wept you talk some tripe.

 

In the job a matter of days and he's got a draw, we'd have probably lost 3-2 with coyle in charge. I despise Venkys and everything they stand for and what they've done to the club, but give Mowbray some time, it's not his fault he's only just been given the gig 48 hours before this game and with such a busy schedule in charge.

 

If mowbray has failed this test, give me a name of someone who'd realistically take the job and turn the results around within that time frame?

[neophox]

Wonder what Wolves fans feel about Lambert atm?

How do we forfeit tonight game? I think he wanted Rovers to go down and lose games then you can show that you were right and we were all right.

You just cant wait to be Mr Negative all the time.

Read your post back. It was a stupid reply on your part.

But no, a draw is a fantastic result against relegation rivals with us 6 points worse off. Does nobody want us to stay up or what?

All the early excuses now being used to absolve our "head coach" of any responsibility. May as well have saved a few days wages. Presumably these four games in 12 days can be written off too?
