Mogga in the paper ‘it’s done and dusted and under the carpet with Brereton’

Mowbray today, uses everyone possible expect Brereton

Jets fans, jets fans, why do you stay?

You need a lot of patience to watch them play.

I honestly don’t think Tony and Neil were given the same script tonight.

10 minutes to go and Mowbray is throwing in the towel while Yardley thinks we are going for it.

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Points deduction aside, I wouldn't bet against Wigan finishing above us.

[Boroblue]

The games not finished but we are back to a slightly worse 1980s team. An average old lag manager surrounded by a group of old lag players. A sprinkling of youth players who 15 years ago would have got nowhere near the team. Add to that the loaners that previously we never needed. It’s really just very depressing with no light at the end of the tunnel. Our only chance would be a great manager but this ones going nowhere.

[RoversClitheroe]

Are we winning? 

You'd think that with the amount we are passing it round the back.

 Bottom of the league at Xmas Wigan. 

[WacoRover]

Buckley & Davenport on... should we expect something?

[unleaded]

Mowbray doesn’t know what he’s doing with these subs .... 

no system just put players on for the sake of it ... 

[philipl]

Against a physically strong side on comes the charge of the light brigade

saxton was a far better manager than mowbray,he did`nt have £70000 to spend let alone 7 million and he built a side that bloody attacked

That's because they aren't sadly.  One has the potential to be a battering ram workhorse the other a lge one squad player

Indeed.

Jordan Rhodes would have anticipated - and scored from - that Rothwell pass with his eyes closed.

If they finish above us I think they’ll have enough points that the deduction will apply next season.

[AAK]

Do not know how good they are, but since the young lads came on, Rovers look far more potent, and willing to have a go. Give them all a chance next season.

[RoverKyle]

Apart from the odd tidy touch, what does Rankin-Costello offer? Probably more of a question for someone who has watched our u23 games, because I know he's had some good reviews at that level. I just don't see what we're getting with him. I appreciate he's being played out of position.

Think anyone else people would be skeptical but Johnno I could see everyone getting behind him, I’ve seen clips and heard bits behind closed doors and he looks every bit the boss. Isn’t he well in with the NI set up too? 

[Exiled_Rover]

In every cameo Davenport has had he's looked a tidy, mobile player. 

Why isn't he getting more game time?

[Hasta]

Strategy appears to be work it slowly to Rothwell and see if he can run past a few.

Even simple things like try Armstrong on the other side for 10 minutes we refuse to do.

the deduction is this season unless they finish bottom 3 naturally which is impossible.

[tomphil]

Non Rovers people on twitter scratching heads at the formation now saying 4222  The guy is unreal it's one long experiment to try and accommodate/justify his players

Ridiculous. If you're going to experiment now do it with a team starting with the kids.

[G Somerset Rover]

Why when we’re 1 behind with ten mins left do we never, ever lay a glove on the opposition?

I've only seen him play for the firsts, but it's clear he's got a good pass on him and he has vision.

Both of these are obviously stifled by playing at LB.

Is that right? What a con. I thought that loophole had been closed when Leeds conned the authorities years ago.

[Boroblue]

Saxton , don mackay,Jim Smith, Howard Kendall all made more from what they had but we are back at square one and it makes you feel a bit sick when with a bit of astute stuff we where a solid prem team

I agree with it, if a team is going down anyway, then they should be punished the season after, it's like when people are given a 6 month driving ban, concurrent to a 12 month one already imposed, you aren't really being punished.
