Tony Mowbray Discussion

[1864roverite]

There can be no more excuses he has to be sacked or he walks. It is clear the players have lost respect for him, too many are being played out of position, formation wise no one knows where the hell they are supposed to be and defensively we are absolutely terrible.

Thank you and good bye

Mowbray's aftermatch thoughts 'wibble wobble, wibble wobble'

 

[Tugay-is-God]

Wonder which Mowbray we'll get tonight, dejected or defiant? 

[booth]

Come on Tony, give us a break now this is dire and you know it. You can't organise the team, you've clearly forgotten everyone's best position and we're now down to 15th. Who knows where we'd be without that bright start.

Not to mention those flukey January wins!

Given the upcoming fixtures, if we don't beat Coventry and don't remove the manager, I think we're going down

[K-Hod]

We could be a lot better, especially if we played players in their correct positions.

But we don’t, so we aren’t. 

All of this is on the manager. It’s time that he cleared off, whether by walking away or being removed of his duties. I don’t care which at this point.

[tomphil]

Performance manager - lose 0-1, 1-2, 2-3 he's happy because they aren't wallopings and he can roll out some faux stats about touches in the box.

Development manager - lose but happy a few kids have got another few mins and Everton and City will send him some biscuits for playing their kids.

We can see what he's trying to do here, progress isn't it.

[Roverall]

I'm desperate. Can anyone see any positives at all about TM staying as manager for at least another 18 months?

If Mowbray doesn't walk, he and his mates have to be fired. I don't see us winning another game under Mowbray and co. Without fans around the ground, it's not possible to determine just how toxid things really are.

Bored of this now.

[Don Said]

Mentioned he doesn’t want to be a burden on the club in his post match presser.

Well Tony, I take no pleasure in saying it, but have I got news for you.

[roverandout]

Sounded like my mum when she was living with me. 'I don't want to be a burden on you son'....so I dumped her in an old folks home.

[A Northern Horde...]

In the name of God be gone TM!😭

Florence Nightingale, is that you?

[PeteJD13]

TM doesn't sound like a man who is walking anytime soon

[Hoochie Bloochie Mama]

Waggott's not going to sack his mate. And Venky's are fucking stupid.

Mowbray's staying. 

[davulsukur]

Depressing but not surprising that he's going no where.

Honestly, I don't believe he'll get us a win against Coventry.

Potentially could start to get dragged into it.

I made the point at the start of this latest death spiral that a couple of wins for a couple of clubs in the bottom 4 and we'd be in serious trouble. Luckily it hasn't happened yet but with our fixtures in March looking fairly dreadful we need to beat Coventry.

This bollux about being on a "slow build" or "on a journey" is unravelling at a rapid rate of knots isn't it?

TM averaging less points per game after  seven transfer windows than he was during his 15 games with Coyle's squad.

After a further £40 m worth of losses and umpteen millions spent on transfers loans and wages we're in exactly the same position as we were after our first season back in the Championship.

Massively reliant on certain key  players with contracts running down who seemingly won't sign new deals.

Massively over-reliant on loanees, who in general are no better than what we had in the first place.

Where's "the journey" going to end up I wonder?

[Exiled in Toronto]

Seems clear to me that Mowbray was told a while ago it’s playoffs or bust. So he gambled on two young centre backs hoping for two more of Elliott’s standard, and then he gambled on bringing Travis and Dack back as soon as the bandages were off.

The gambled have failed, he has bombs going off all around him and he’s now shell shocked: no cards left to play, can’t think straight. A broken man.

Armstrong and senior training centre sold, Elliott going back, Nyambe leaving. Then Mowbray praying for players like Gallagher and Brereton to score goals (from wide areas), Dack a false 9 and relegation looming. McBride on the bench.

And he still won't sign any decent defenders.

Mowbray. "It's up to the owners."

This seems about right to me. He looks like he knows he's going to get sacked, just not sure when.

Regardless of the managers mumbling about defensive pairings, COVID or whatever, the last time we played well was November 24th 2020 in the 0-3 thrashing of PNE. Let that sink in.
