[Archived] Burton away - Friday 24 Feb - 6 pointer

Just now, Stuart said:

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.

Give it a rest, just because you were initially crying at the appointment doesn't mean you shouldn't support him... there's 14 games left and we'd have lost this game under Coyle.

[Tango]

Can see it from both sides.

Under Coyle this was a guaranteed loss, so in that respect it's a point gained, but settling for a point against Burton with so few games left, and the battle against relegation so real, that it's also two points dropped.

At least Mowbray made some positive substitutions at decent times, unlike clueless.

Stuart you can't fight everyone in the pub pal, no point trying.

We needed to win I agree, it looks bleak but we still have hope.

Keep the faith pal

Stuart hasn't got any fight he just gives up and moans, moans, moans.

No fat lady singing yet

Come on you Blues!

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.

Hang on PerthBlue, for me, Stuart cannot wait to be negative and IMO, been waiting to give stick to Mowbray after 3 days in the job. Its exactly what he cannot wait to do.

On Mowbray, I think he has tried to input some tactical changes with a simple 4-4-2 system. I hope Mowbray has them in tomorrow and going through some tactical works and little fitness work

So Mowbray IS responsible for tonight's result, despite having no time?

The plot thickens.

[des]

ok people give the manager a chance he as only had 48 hours in charge heck

[AAK]

Must not lose? For goodness sake, people have been saying that since Christmas, we never end up winning the vital games and usually lose or deserve to lose them. 

What is giving people this optimism? As I am sure as fook struggling to think of anything positive.

Lowe gets blamed for picking the team now.

Remarkable. 

I think you're getting your Lowe's mixed up Jim. I'm sure the coaching staff will have had a big input into tonight's team selection.

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.

You can't talk about Saint Paul like that on here. Some posters might think he's been shagging your wife. Lol.

Who's blaming that gaffer? The team is ducking awful, we are terrible it's that simple, that poor manager won't be able to do @#/? all with these lot

According to certain people on here we cant get him a chance.

Plenty of Tony Mowbray Blue and white army chants I believe at today game

Gives up? The only people giving up are those comfortable with not winning tonight.

Don't bother going to any more games JohnD. We don't need wet lettuces like you cheering on a draw.

Wrong again, at least you're consistent.

[neophox]

Aston villa , forest, wolves, Bristol c and wigan are all on terrible runs... Burton on a good run and hopefully Rovers ... have faith!

I actually thought Jim was cracking a subtle joke!

[scotchrover]

If Coyle was in charge tonight, we would have walked away empty handed, after an injury time mistake. Instead we've come away with a point, and we're a win away from moving out the bottom 3.

T.M. has taken over an utter shambles of a team, that hasn't had any professional defensive or fitness training since Lambert was about. A point is a bloody good start in my eyes, when he's probably only had one training session. 

Tony Mowbray's Blue and White Army!

It doesn't matter what Stuart does or doesn't do. YOU regularly pontificate that everyone should be free to express their views AND be treated with respect.

Once again you fail to live up to the standards you set for others.

I've got the badge on that one. My criticism of him got me a 6-month ban off his biggest fanboy mod I'm not bitter though.

Lambert is very capable of going on some appalling winless streaks. He did it with us. He's doing it with Wolves. We're lucky they've got him

and we don't need you going to games being Mr negative and moaning.

we need to get behind the players and Mowbray unless we actually want us to go down. You decide?

[Stuart]

Do you want Rovers to stay up this season? Because your posts suggest you aren't bothered either way.

[SamTheShrew]

Steele is bang average. Sure he flapped at the goal, as good a strike as it was. We have always been blessed with good goalkeepers up until latter Robinson. Could be the difference between staying up and not sadly

You actually thought wrong.

[wolfie]

Just now, Stuart said:

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?

I'm pretty sure no one said it was a fantastic result.

I'm not comfortable with it Stuart but it is what it is. If we can draw away and win at home  we'll have a chance. It's going to be a rocky ride so hold on to your hat.
