Tony Mowbray Discussion

[Bigdoggsteel]

Ok, that's it for me. A completely disgraceful display. No drive, confused and disjointed. 

Not happening ,but I am now in the Mowbray out camp. 

[Don Said]

Bored with it all.

We will always be a soft touch with no ability to grind results out with Mowbray in charge.

What a waste.

Can I check is this the first time you've joined the camp?

Missed match today, just want a gauge of how bad things are.

They are the worst in my 51 years of supporting the Rovers.

Wow! Thanks. Better crack a Sat night beer to console myself. 

Can't see any way back for him now, unless he wins like 3 or 4 on bounce.

Bad but worse than Kean and the year or so after him? Or Coyle? I don't think anything is, or will be, worse than those times.

Tony is a decent guy but a limited manager who has undoubtedly reached the end of the road.

If we win four on the bounce, all that will guarantee is a mid table finish. This teams performances I would not except for Burnley

Time for change...the man gives the impression he couldn't give a toss.

But he isn't a decent guy , if he stays taking his pound of flesh. He did a good impression of a decent guy when he first arrived. Recently he has been taking the piss out of decent people some of whom are in difficult positions.

[alcd]

Mowbray looks disinterested and is evidently half-asleep during matches and then in the post-match interview he just sounds utterly pathetic. If he had any self-respect he would quit now. It needs someone to put him out of his misery but of course nobody will.

Controlled the game - check.

Dominated possession - check.

Ya, it is. Its starting to look to me like he has lost the players. Just too many bad performances one after another. We look lost and his body language today was just unacceptable from a manager.

The problem is I don't want to get too invested, because how we hire and fire managers under Venkys makes no rational sense.

What did we have, 2 shots? Both of them in the space of 5 seconds. Dominated? my ass

The blasé comments of a manager who couldn't care less.

Where's the hurt? The embarrassment? The anger? If you've stopped caring Tony then fine, it's obvious things aren't working and perhaps you've given up. If so then do the honourable thing and resign. If you aren't going to do that and are going to cling onto the job because you hired your mate as your boss and we have absentee owners then so be it, but at least pretend that you care and that results like this hurt. Don't insult us with platitudes and lies.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

I'd hazard a guess the players are done with him as well, they're certainly playing like it.

My view exactly. No passion, no anger at the defeat, no responsibility for it, no apology. It's embarrassing at worst, pathetic at best. We are a hollow club, with owners who bank roll the club for the only reason to save face. It's another low. God knows who would turn back up if allowed. Under this, I wouldn't.

Comparisons to Kean are crazy.

We’ve been crying out for stability. We have some. Changing the manager now would be a disaster.

Are you mental??? 

Why would changing a terrible manager after 3 seasons of stagnation be a disaster? 

It's a sad sign of how far the club have fallen that some fans are happy to accept the current level the club is at.

Ya, I think that was the worst performance of the season. Doncaster hadn't played in weeks, but we looked like we never played together before. 

Does anyone with any insight into the club know if he is under any pressure?

This has a dead season written all over it if we don't act soon

Ok,let's not exaggerate though. 

His time is up,but he did well to a point. No need for people to start comparing him to Kean or anything like that.

That's how we play. Huge lack of fight in this team. Nobody seems to really care.

I didn't actually compare him to kean, although the fact he handpicked the board and is therefore now under no pressure does bare similarities...

 

The shock in my post was in reference to a previous poster  (can't remember their name), "sacking Mowbray now would be a disaster"

Cant get my head around that one
