Tony Mowbray Discussion

[SuperBrfc]

Nyambe the fall guy again. What a surprise. This is the perfect excuse for Mowbray to shoe horn Harwood-Bellis into the starting 11 now.

He was asked directly why he subbed Nyambe and I dont have a problem with his answer to an extent, he was poor in both games mentioned. I do feel like to many, Nyambe is the blue eyed boy, talk about him being the best right back in the league etc which is off the mark.

I agree with this comment. For Nyambe is decent enough but his positional and reading of the game can be poor at times costing us too many goals

Hes one of the first names on the team sheet regardless simply because we dont have another competent right back at the club and never have in Mowbrays side. Some of the players he has stuck there recently beggars belief. Hes also a huge prospect seemingly wherever he goes and the contract situation is piss poor. But he has been poor lately.

He's hung Nyambe out to dry so he can justify giving the Citeh lad a game.

Meanwhile other underperforming players get a free pass.

Have you made this point before? Or are you just slagging off a player the manager has clearly fallen out with?

To be honest, the performance of Branthwaite against Preston was one of the worst I've seen in the last 5 years

Sure big Sam Gallagher and the experienced full back John Buckley both have better positional sense and reading of the game from RB. 
It beggars belief and anyone defending those comments would defend Mowbray blind on any decision. 

[JHRover]

There's a group of fans who will accept anything Mowbray comes out with no matter how ludicrous as it sits easier to just lap up what he comes out with rather than call it out as rubbish.

If someone at Rovers told them the moon was made of cheese or that the earth was flat they'd accept it as gospel.

As before, if Mowbray was so disappointed in Nyambe's performances then why didn't he put his 2nd choice RB into the team instead? Last time I checked that was 'skipper' Bennett who is back from injury and on the bench. Surely he would have been preferable to Gallagher?

It's the same in all things tribal, football, politics, games consoles, you always get a subservient amount of people who will take anything from their betters. They are a weird bunch.

Someone on Facebook recently posted on the Rovers post match report that as fans we should support the club and all things within it, without question. That's what a supporter is, he said. If you don't support the manager, or the players or someone at the club then you aren't a supporter so you should stop following the club.

Nyambe is probably the best defensive prospect that we have at the club.  He ought to be our right-back for the next 5 or 6 years or more.  He has all the attributes needed for that position but, sadly, I suspect he will be allowed to drift away from the club.  Meanwhile we give minutes to a lad from City, who is certainly far inferior to Nyambe, but it will help Pep develop the player for the future.  And we wonder why supporters are turning their back on what is becoming a nursery club for the Premier League!

Seems that Mowbray has been asked about the situation at right back. I do agree that Nyambe has been poor lately, I think its hard to suggest otherwise. The problem now is that he has to keep playing because we have never had competent competition for him, and hes not been asked on the bizarre decision to put Gallagher there. Harwood Bellis doesnt look comfortable there, Gallagher and Buckley are laughable options there, id rather have Caddis.

He also brushes off the potential inconsistencies of having an 18 year old loanee at centre back, which is perhaps more troublesome.

I think Mowbray has destroyed Nyambe's confidence.

IMO, the lad has been treated with contempt and always seems the target when things go wrong for Mowbray.  If Lenihan had not been out of position forcing Nyambe to cover for him and Gallagher understood the role of a wide man (would have dropped back to cover for Nyambe), Cunningham would not have found himself in a different post code to the Rovers' defence.

If I was Nyambe's agent, I would be advising him to get as far away from Mowbray as possible.

I think Mowbray has form for hanging the younger, easier targets out to dry and also for ruining the confidence of younger players by playing them out of position - Reed, Gallagher, Brereton etc all spring to mind. 

Please Mowbray, feck off back to Teeside and your beloved drizzle cake.  I've had more than enough of what I think is a sh1t show Mowbray's delivered.

Simple we don't have the finances

We have had Kaminski, Nyambe, Lenihan and Douglas since the near the beginning of the season Why did they look like they'd never played together against Preston?

Yes, we or rather Venkys, do have the finances for a Pearson or a Hughes.

Mowbray looked like he was finished, last Friday.

Whether he is finished is not the question and judging by our finances we really dont...

A manager with a plan, who can organise a defense and play players in their most suited positions. And not waste ridiculous amounts of money.

Is that too much to ask in 2021?

Where has all the waste gone, since he has come our Squad value is worth more today than when he came. Which means there is more assets and therefore brought in more cash into the team from the purchases he has made.

Sorry but I think you are wrong.

I think you could put Mowbray in charge of Man City and he would still make a dog's breakfast of it.

IMO, we have a crap CEO and a crap manager.  Get those two roles wrong and you are well and truly bollocksed.

So why are we losing on average almost £20million per year?

If he didn't think Nyambe was good enough why didn't he sell him when we could get a decent fee for him and sign another?

He's had four years + to sort out this spot and the rest of the defence and he's failed.

Because we haven't sold anyone....this isn't rocket science but do you remember the squad he had when he arrived? Stokes, Graham, Mulgrew...None re sellable assets. Today Armstrong, Dack, Kaminski

The really simple part of it is that we have a poor manager.

By asking a scrap of our CEO and our manager means you trust their judgement or else you wouldn't ask for it...So i am asking you, should our CEO and manager go do you trust their judgement to find a suitable replacement. If the answer is "No"then why even ask for it? It is like shooting yourself in the leg and asking a cook to try and solve the issue.

A poor manager who got us up and brought stability and in league where are not even in the top 10 in budget spent...So yes yes he has been poor. My god give the dude some respect. I am not even a Mowbray fan but i respect the job he has done.

and don't forget to net off the £20million+ in fees and wages, IMO spunked up the wall on Brerton and Gallagher, or the ridiculous contract extension handed to Mulgrew which must have cost us £1million+ all in otr the totally unnecessary contract extensions for Smallwood and Hart at the end of last season or the cost of Ayala who looks in danger of becoming permanently rooted in the treatment room.  I could go on and on and on......................................................
