Really sounds like Mulgrew is finished

the very same player that's just been given a new 2 1/2 year contract.

Don’t know how no Birmingham player got booked in the first half. Then Mulgrew immediately booked.

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

Very. Last season covered up a multitude I feel

I was scoffing at people on here who suggested he go into midfield. 

Now I'm of the opinion that he might as well. He's a quarter back with his passing. He could do that in midfield. Definsivley he's not at it.

Big club are poor.

Though one wonders if that first half was our good or bad one.

Considering we had our first two shots in the dying minutes of the half hopefully the latter!

As it stands we're now in 17th, dropping like a stone.

That's about right. Having had a full season in the Championship under TM (adding the season he took us down's points onto this season's tally) that's about exactly where we end up.

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. 

Some of the players brought in I have no idea if they can handle this league because they are hardly played. Why drop Armstrong? Only player with pace. Why not give Rothwell a go? Why not give Brereton some games if this season is apparently over? 

 

Frustrates the life out of me when we are so predictable and never change anything. The definition of insanity is doing the same exact thing time after time and expecting something to change or improve. 

 

Like you say bowyer had a better recruitment record but similar to this manager couldn't manage to open a packet of crisps. Shit defending and no attacking effectiveness. 

[Mercer]

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.

Yeah definitely past it Mulgrew ??

[Tugay-is-God]

Mulgrew!

[Tom]

Mulgrew with his third corner of the season - unbelievable 

[Stuart]

Straight from a corner. Again!!

[Husky]

Lol. We don't need any strikers.

[perthblue02]

Get in - Mulgrew Direct from a corner

He is past it. But he can still hit a dead ball.

[G Somerset Rover]

Shite defender but unbelievable set pieces. A dilemma.

The goal doesn't change anything. I never doubted his set pieces 

[Neal]

Should be playing holding midfield, not a box to box... Just sat in.

The Curse of Merce ..

Considering how poor most of our team is at scoring goals, Mulgrew's set pieces are vital. 9 goals for the season now. Meanwhile Corry "new contract" Evans hasn't contributed a single goal or assist. Even Smallwood has one assist to his name.

Almost certainly a record, yes

Indeed. I think he is 3rd in combined assists and goals behind Dack and Graham throughout Mowbrays tenure. Fair play to him, no doubt, but what does it say about the others? 

Even taking the penalties out I think he is still ahead of Bennett in 4th.
