Most saw the opening tactics and said that.

Yet we nearly got a point but in all honesty what happened was always the more likely to happen.

I was watching the score with that definite feeling that we'd lose. I've wanted rid of him for some considerable time. I didn't see the early part of the match as I was on a training course being taught to sack eggs so I only caught updates from 74 mins on

[JHRover]

Its just so typical and predictable isn't it?

Hammer Cardiff, move into the top 6, things are looking pretty good all round.

2 weeks later, shambolic defeats to Huddersfield, Blackpool and QPR and shambolic draw against Coventry. Back into mid table (for now), chopping and changing, absences, injuries, mysterious decisions, right back to square one.

This could be 2019, 2020, 2021. It is all a blur. Same process, same manager, same outcome.

Feckin hell Chaddy, that's another rapid change of heart!

Keep cool.

Perfectly calm and chill out thanks Mercer. 

Buts it time for a change and I would sack him tomorrow. Appoint Damien Johnson as Caretaker manager for Saturday game. Then appoint a new manager after that game.

Agree with this although i'm a bit sceptical about Ainsworth we desperately need new ideas and above all a motivator. 

Fair enough. They are other options out there like Chris Wilder, Mark Robins, Neil Critchley, Ryan Lowe(Plymouth), Alex Neil, Neil Harris. 

We need fresh new ideas, good tactician, modern day coaching, organised defence to keep clean sheets and motivator 

[A Northern Horde...]

Its never Mowbrays fault....just shut up and buy those cheap tickets.

Get behind 't lads!!

Yeah right😠

Not a chance that we are going to entice Robins, Critchley or Lowe from their existing clubs where they are making good progress and have sensible clubs behind them. Plus we don't pay compensation so that rules out any manager in work.

I’ve been quiet on here this season, After calling for his head all summer and him not going I said to myself I’ll just try and enjoy being back on games and put that to the back of my mind hoping he goes in May.
 

The sad thing is the first time I ever said and felt the managers time was up here was February 2019 (I think) yet he’s still here. I can’t see him going anytime soon but I’ll be so glad when he finally fucks off. His interviews during that horror of a run last season were of a man taking zero responsibility blaming everyone but himself and his manner was of a man who wanted paying off and putting out his misery, YET HE’S STILL HERE.
 

Honestly, this season is another dead one and fuck me if he gets a new deal I’ll lose my shit, I wouldn’t put it past Venkys. Going straight down the tunnel and not thanking the fans tonight sums him up, the perception of him as a decent bloke with honour is a load of shit. Get Gareth Ainsworth and a new CEO in ASAP. This club is a shit show.

Well that's your opinion but given our history, stadium, Senior training ground and Academy facilities we could attract them.

The most passion he showed all last night was making a massive fuss out of the amount of injury time added at the end. I mean yeah there probably should have been more but we weren't exactly battering them or looking like scoring! I was more than happy for the ref to end that game to be honest.

He's having another good season in League 1 - right in the promotion mix at present.

I'd have no issues giving him a go if they could get him without paying silly compo. Thinking about it he's perhaps more suited to what we have now than the last couple of seasons.  He's used to low budgets etc but here he'd have to get a tune out of Ayala, Brero, Gallagher to make it work.

Got to get the big boys onside first.

[Wheelton Blue]

I read a post - last night I think it was - likening Mowbray to someone playing Career Mode on Fifa.

This is so true. It's as if he thinks he has a real-life games console, trying to be clever, swallowing the trivial stats, and going from game to game picking random formations and player positions.

It's beyond a joke, it really is.

Bang on. We did our usual under Mowbray when behind in injury time - roll over for a good tummy tickle.

I know a few are angry he shot off down the tunnel last night instead of paying a bit of respect to the good travelling contingent. I think though this is more of his theatrics rather than a snub to supporters.

This season he's taken to prowling the touchline, bawling out certain lads but not others. And generally looking frustrated shaking his head etc. Non of this really last season when he had a load of experienced pros who'd probably turn round and give him some back. Most of the time he slunk back in the dugout.

He's just turning it all onto the players this season in another self preservation mode. Some deserve some stick but he's the one who isn't motivating them or deploying them properly.

It was predicted but the kids line is yet another for him to hide behind. Never anything to do with him or his coaches.

[gumboots]

Has he gone yet? Is there a shred, a glimmer of hope, that he might be on his way out?

Apparently didn't travel back with the players last night? 

[roversfan99]

He is not getting sacked, anyone clinging onto forlorn hopes that he might are only torturing themselves again. Venkys probably wont even know what score it was last night.

[LeftWinger]

What's Judan Ali up to nowadays? 

He was always linked with the job when it was available.

Another reference to fitness levels and intensity of training.

When is the intensity of training going to come to fruition?

We have, as last season,not  seen a performance where our fitness levels in a match seem superior to the opposition.

We know from what Danny G said on that podcast, that he properly gets the hump with the players when we're on a bad run. So this really wouldn't surprise me.

[1864roverite]

Steve Bruce is now available sack mowbray and get him in

[PeteJD13]

8 wins in 34 just isn't good enough we will go round in circle until he either leaves at the seasons end or is renewed, if its the later i would have to consider if i renew and my kids as well, it would just signify further running down of the club

Thing is, as you know I now get my live sport kicks watching Sale Sharks. Now at the start of the season they were saying our fitness levels were going to be better and st first here was no sign of it. But this week they faced Quins, current champions, lightning quick and undefeated this season, and they beat them.  Not just beat them but right at the end, and Quins looked out on their feet while the Sharks players looked like they could have played on. Fitness training doesn't always pay benefits in the first match but as you get match sharp it should begin to tell. Clearly Rovers have got something very wrong as their fitness on the pitch doesn't seem to be improving with match sharpness

I think it's more psychological.   Manager doesn't give a toss, players don't give a toss....its a disease going through the squad.

Filling his head at all the things to be worried about Reading, rather than how to beat them.
