I would say the last two games, only play guys under contract, or not here on loan. The others have had ample time to show their wares.

Agree fully with this. We gain nothing from playing loanees in them. 

[West Yorks Rover]

The only thing that would cheer me up, is if Mowbray,Waggott and Venus were booted out of the club tomorrow.

Do you really still think Mowbray is our man?

How bad do we need to get before you would sack him?

Mercer we have been over this time after time.  

I have told several times Yes Mowbray is still the man for me.

Bennett was crap again. JRC wasn’t much better. One will get a hard time as he’s not from our academy.

Let's have it right. That same one is the club captain, an experienced professional who at 31 has learnt pretty much all he is going to learn about footy and yet is still young enough that his engine seems fine. We have seen him give his all but fail at being good enough for most of two full seasons now. Yet we still have to watch him constantly.

The other one is a young player with a handful of appearances being played not only in the wrong position but the wrong side of the pitch so that Benno doesn't have to get as embarrassed there. He has years and years to improve, good reviews from all the youth games we haven't seen and isn't an automatic pick every game irrespective of his form. He also nearly scored a decent equaliser at the death. He has also had a few people criticise him today.

Yeh I'm comfortable with cutting JRC more slack for now.

Don't know why, he was shite, I think every striker we had at the club whilst he was in his playing career was better than him.

Was it downing as false 9 that made you certain?

Clinton is the worst pundit I have ever come across on TV/Radio, talks pure shite on a consistent basis and talks like he's from the broncs, I'd rather have a man off the street who has gone through education to try and get a job in the media. Although he did talk the first bit of sense I have ever heard him speak tonight, he is right Rovers and their tactics were woeful.

Or the well rehearsed tactic of Walton booting it up to Armstrong time and time again? 

[simongarnerisgod]

Are we making progress? 60 points again.

10 points in 11 games, is that acceptable?

Have his signings been good enough this season?

Do you agree with this false 9 shite?

Do you agree with this wide striker shite?

Average striker, billy big bollocks attitude. Souness liked them like that though in his team the bigger the attitude the better.  This fella probably puts sweets under their pillows.

Why exactly is he the man for you?

What quality is he currently displaying that tells you the club is on its uppers?

TM: "The first half wasn't good enough, we lacked energy, ideas. The frustration is the team felt ready. We knew what was at stake. We lacked the quality first half, we kept booting the ball to their centre halves. Second half we didn't work their keeper enough." #Rovers

Firstly, if the team kept launching it against your pre match instructions, you could have stepped in. Second, you’re surprised that no strikers and Downing as a false 9 failed to test their keeper. You’re delusional, Tony.

Just caught myself thinking....

Yeah maybe Venkys haven't given Tony the budget because first they are waiting to see if he does what he said last year...or if he doesn't they will ring Suhail to fire him.

 

Please lock me up. I plead insanity.

You’re giving them far too much credit. They don’t care that much.

[GHR]

Absolute farce. At best the only ones who can hold their heads up tonight are the ones who played the final ten minutes, JRC maybe who put in a reasonable shift for a man a tackle away from being sent off for 89 minutes (really wish he'd have converted at the end as it may just unlock that little bit of something else inside him [same goes for Nyambe]). The rest of them - no bollocks, no bite, no drive, nothing. I'd be ashamed if I put in a shift like that at work.

Same old, same old. I think the final minute summed it up best: Walton launching it straight at the opposition man a mile from anyone else, Bennett pissing about with the free kick and the collective despair of wondering what could have been if the ball had fallen to someone else. Downing at False 9 is just the cherry on the cake, it's something you'd do after a few beers on Fifa with your mates.

No excuses now: Johnson, Graham (that breaks my heart), Mulgrew, Samuel, Walton etc all must have played their last for us. We're allegedly skint, with nothing to play for and more youth than you can shake a stick at festering away week after week. We might as well try and salvage something from this dismal conclusion to our season.

Pumping in what will be required in the summer and next season aka 12 million I’d be asking questions

You see, that would make sense.
Unfortunately, not much they’ve done since owning the club has....

We kept booting the ball to their centre halves 

He even talks like a pub football manager at times there's a touch of Mike basset with that speak.  Why were they doing that ?  Must've been under his instructions to hit it long and early.  Just what rocket science did he expect against a set of 6'1" to 6'3" defenders ?

Pure spin now this fella.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

I didn't watch 'the game. Just reading through the comments on here make me really glad I didn't. The manager is dog shit, the way we play is dogshit, most of the players the dogshit manager has signed are dogshit. I'm sick to my stomach of continually reading about this lot phoning a performance in. Have they no pride or self respect ? 

They'll all roll in tomorrow for " training " as though nothing has happened. At a real club the chairman would be waiting for the manager first thing in the morning with his cards already made out.

I can't bear to listen any more of the bollocks that comes out of his mouth. He talks like he's just come along as a neutral observer. Why do we lack ideas and energy ? Why did we kept banging the ball up to their centre halves ? Get to the bloody touch line and tell them " The next one of you that does that again is coming off ! "

Trouble with that is they'd probably be glad to come off. The wasters.

We are a better passing side than we have been for years, but to what end? Millwall sat back and soaked up what very little we threw at them. I barely remember a shot on target (I haven't seen the stats). We could have nicked a draw, but nicking a draw in a game like this counts for nothing when you need to win, and I feel as though attempts at style over substance take precendence with Rovers.

Sometimes, I sit here and wonder how high a bar we're setting for the guy that has single-handedly turned this ship around. It certainly could have been so much worse by now, and Mogga deserves a lot of credit for saving us all a lot more emabarrassment. Other times, I look at the funding that he's had, and he's had it very fair, and yet failed to address our defence. I sit here wondering where we might be in the league, had we invested more in defence other than loans. Paul Downing and Amari'i Bell are our only two permanent signings in defence since Mogga took over if I recall... That surely has to change in the next window, starting with Greg Cunningham, and then a couple more.

People are fed of Mowbray. This isn't my own personal view, as I do think we are making the most progression that we've seen at the club in a decade, but I think the relationship between him and the supporters has now gone, and that won't be received in India. Mogga will stay. Our only hope is that our bloody defence gets some investment, even if it means the sale of one or two assets...

This!

BUT with Mowbray gone
