EgyptianPete Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 (edited) With Waggott in charge there is little doubt TM will still be the manager next season, i guess it all depends on what if any budget he has and what mates Opps what players he brings in, or he might just say sorry i cant take this team any further and resign, now that is wishful thinking.

Moderation Lead K-Hod Posted July 22, 2020 Moderation Lead Posted July 22, 2020 Just now, Mashed Potatoes said: They've bottled it at the weekend and again tonight - so that is twice. Mowbray would be crucified for that. He’s been crucified for that already, as he’s bottled it far more times than that over the course of the season. Yet, Brentford can still be promoted via the play offs, so I’m not too sure what you are trying to argue here. 1 Quote
Backroom Popular Post Tom Posted July 22, 2020 Backroom Popular Post Posted July 22, 2020 By the way remember that stat I said about Walton conceding 42% of shots on target since lockdown. Tonight they had one shot on target, and scored 3 goals! No glaring mistakes but it’s amazing that in the last 2 games we’ve conceded 6 goals from 4 shots on target, not a single, solitary, measly save in those games 14 Quote

SBlue Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 In fairness, saying Brentford bottled it is stretching the truth. Their recent run put them in dreamland. They’ve still had a fantastic season. Now Forest, THAT’S a bottle job. Arguably Preston too, which is nice. 9 Quote
Popular Post Miller11 Posted July 22, 2020 Popular Post Posted July 22, 2020 Well done Luton. They wanted it more. Notice the people complaining about their “gamesmanship” are the same ones who celebrate Lewis Travis’s “shithousery” the loudest. Anyone else see Bennett with Jones at the end? Take it they are pals from their Brighton days, but he seemed to be celebrating more with Bennett than any of his own players. Comical really. Didn’t see this dangerous Ben Brereton some others seem to have done. I saw a bad striker never getting ahead of a full back and waiting for a pull back on the edge of the box quite often. Woeful player, I’d give him away. This brand of “possession football” is shit. When the majority of possession is on the edge of your own box it’s as ineffective as it is boring. On more than one occasion we went from the edge of their box back to Walton in three passes. Carter had a tough time, but there seems to be an expectation on our centre backs to be Beckenbaueresque. Wish they would concentrate on defending. Mowbray looked kind of spent tonight. Looked about 20 years older than that first game against Burton where he was barking out instructions. Tonight just about summed our season up. Our improvement year on year is three points. That will be enough for some fans, and probably won’t even register with Venky’s. God knows what this summer will bring. 17 Quote

Mowbray has been doing that kind of shit all season, come off it. Bottling the last couple of games but being strong enough to stay in and around the top 6 all season is one thing, and bottling it every time you get near the top 6 is quite another!!! 1 Quote
SBlue Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 I think Carter looks ok. No worse than a young Lenihan, certainly better than what I’ve seen of Magloire ??♂️ 3 Quote
West Yorks Rover Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 I'll make a prediction, Bolton Wanderers will be back in the Premier League before Rovers are. It may take them a while but they will be. Quote

You can't do any worse than conceding everything that came your way. 1 Quote
EgyptianPete Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 Very strange our other keepers never got a look in at all, Walton probably one of the worst GK's i have witnessed in 50 years and we did have the odd donkey during those years but a hell of a lot more really good gk's, some of TM's decisions look like its on purpose, again why chapman didnt play is beyond sense, and to be brutally trueful our squad against Luton we should be winning every time, sorry but TM's too old school, cons us into thinking he's changed formation to keep possesion, well yes in our own half but still concede what at least 2 per game, times have changed he hasn't. 1 Quote

West Yorks Rover Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 (edited) To be fair to Mowbray regarding playing Walton, maybe he was thinking if he brings in a rookie keeper in such an important game for the teams trying to avoid relegation, and he has a nightmare of a game he would be criticised for that.
