[neophox]

I would call Slaven Bilic immediately.

[bluefred]

Thats 8 losses out of the first 20 games, playoffs!!!!!!!!

don’t make me laugh. We will never go anywhere with this clown in charge.

Well, Bilic or the Cowley Bothers, who would we prefer?

I'd prefer Bilic's brother.

[Tugay's Right Foot]

Horrible game. Poor conditions in the second half. Can count shots on target with me fingers for all that possession

3 defeats in 4. 1 win in 5. 
Still no victories against a top half team.

Sick and tired of the same sh*t under Mowbray. Please, just walk.

He won't walk, that would be like anyone else throwing away their copy of football manager 2021.

[Stuart]

Well that was utter garbage.

Again.

Well he ain’t getting sacked in a million years. I’m clutching at straws but I really have had enough.

What an awful, awful side Stoke are. They crossed the halfway line once and scored. End of.

We will finish above them at the end of the season. No doubts about that  

13th & 14th then 

[Waggy76]

Effectively end of the season...

Mowbray has to go !!!!

[LDRover]

Mowbray needs to learn that there is a difference between dominating the ball and dominating the opposition. We generally do the former and very rarely the latter.

[neophox]

Johnson has a really good game also Trybull butik he went off.

[neophox]

We seem to dominate possession every game but have players for counter attacking football.

We cant dominate games and win. THATS A FACT.

Dominating? Playing in front of them, sideways and backwards, when we are a goal down and not even laying a glove on them.

What a waste of an afternoon.

 

[USABlue]

Just not clever enough, sooner Dack and Big Ben are back the better.  I just have heartburn with games like this and Mowbary pulls the creative players with route one types then does not go route one.  I don't mean lumoing balls forward but turn and head.tiwards goal not tippy tappy along the back line

Mowbray and learning rarely go together.

[Boroblue]

So that’s O’Neil’s stoke. Horrible awful ugly. We lacked the guile but Christ they’re negative and that’s at home. The worst I’ve witnesssed. Will they get promoted no chance a group of old lags. If that’s what they want to put out good luck to them.

Even the one win was thoroughly undeserved.

The problem we've got is that we don't have a plan b.

If we can't pass through a side we're stumped. No point hitting all those crosses into the box with Gallagher, Elliot and Armstrong upfront. 

[A Northern Horde...]

It's another same old,same old...we have no drive or determination to get out of this league.

Another mid table finish under the impossibly dreary Mowbray.

[savage90]

Is it possible to get a refund from Stoke for the game of football we just missed out on?

Stoke aren’t easy on the eye that’s for sure but one way of looking at it is take the lead then put in a defensive shift. Take all 3 points. Perhaps if we could defend like Stoke we’d be 6th and not 11th. 

If only we could defend end of  What is sickening is that we have all known for 3 years we cant defend. What the hell is Tony not getting?

9th and 10th 😁

[West Yorks Rover]

Stoke's home record isn't good, they are better away, still good enough to beat Tony Mowbray's

Rovers though.

Give me Stoke's manager any day.

[Butty]

Who cares about 65% possession when you’re not winning games, it’s a results business and for as much as we had the ball today Stoke were comfortable sitting back bar a bit of late pressure which is to be expected. Really frustrating, pressure is on the manager now.

insipidnous personified,so insipid that insipid is the new word associated with blackburn roves
