Yeah, 1 goal every 4 games, not bad. But not "very good." 

Young player. Don't know what you are really expecting tbh.

You interjected into a conversation that I was having where I stated that I felt describing his best season as "very good" was a massive exaggeration on a 1 in 4 season which I felt was ok, satisfactory, average, no more than that.

That season has been followed by a really, really poor season, then a non existent one, and finally this season an embarassing one where he has the worst goal rate in the league.

I personally dont think Gallagher "did very well" here by any means, he did OK. Likewise Brereton didnt do "very well" at Forest, he was scoring infrequently and eventually couldnt make the squad.

I dont doubt many of your points to be fair, I do agree with player misuse and stagnation and questions about his coaching staff but I think Mowbrays main failing is his really poor transfer recruitment. I dont think any manager could get that much from these 2 players.

Funny how language upsets people.

In a team being relegated under Owen Coyle, Gallagher did “very well” to score 11 goals (one behind top scorer Graham).

As an 18 year old breaking through into the Forest first team, Brereton did “very well”. Scored 9 goals and got 7 assists over a season and a bit in the Championship.

Just look at these stats - they say it all.

It’s all relative.

I didn't actually realise he had that decent a season at this level. Thats better than Armstrong has ever done.

Lets call a spade a spade, Mowbray has completely made a balls of integrating Brereton. Good pre-season and he doesn't get a look in. Mowbray is a peculiar fella at times.

He got injured early on in the season.

He was fit the first game and he didnt start. 

I would expect our fit, 6 or is it 7 million pound striker to start after having a year to settle in and scoring a few in pre season. Not Mowbray though.

“Blackburn had a bit of a weakness there. He had the chance and he used it. That’s what the good players in the league do.”

Talking about right-back

"A bit"? That's kind of him to say that.

The Birmingham manager actually referred to our left side ie their right side.

You are correct, I read that wrong. 

Well it could have been either to be fair

Did anyone manage to find out where Bell was supposed to be playing at the end?

My guess was centre mid.
