Douglas is one of the worst players Ive seen.

He has nothing in his game. Slow, passes backwards all the time and I haven't seen a decent cross yet which is supposed to be his strength

If there’s a team you don’t want to be losing 1-0 to it’s a Tony Pulis team.

I bet Mowbray won’t even make a change at the break.

I bet you could count on one hand the amount of times TM has made a sub unrelated to injury before the 60th minute during his entire tenure here. 

[Cherry Blue]

Bring on the FA cup. Nothing left this season except to slag TM.

[superniko]

Holtby looked like one of our best players in the first 5/10 games, but since he’s been pretty average. Really frustrating, feels like he could play in the holding role but it’s a waste of one of the attacking central roles. 
Hope Brereton is fit enough as we need him in this game I think. 

[CambridgeRover]

Gallagher never scores or assists, he is a passenger. He can run all he wants but he isn't paid to be an athlete he is paid to score goals which he never does

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Only Rovers could sign two defenders to improve a shite defence..and actually make it worse.

Every match we overplay it to the point of losing the ball then concede because of an awful defence who look like they haven't played together before.

Not the point of losing it , we overplay it until we lose it. Refs don't give us frees either ,because they probably see we are literally falling over each other and the ball downto afformentioned over playing 

[Dolly blue]

No words

No pain, no fear 

Will be forever numb

Whilst Mowbray’s here . 
 

 

[neophox]

Better we let Wednesday dominate as we cant dominate games and win it. We are better when we counter attack with the current players. 

[simongarnerisgod]

moggasouras is on a free roll is`nt he,no crowd to contend with,guaranteed we`de have turned on him by now

[Exiled in Toronto]

Douglas again. The limitations of this team being thoroughly exposed last few games. Rothwell is impotent against banks of 5 and 4; Holtby never direct enough; Gallagher can’t hold the ball up; Armstrong isn’t good enough for a quick first time passing game; Johnson too slow. We have been completely figured out now.

[Hasta]

Tippy tappy shite. Let's see if we have a plan B this time.

[RoverInverness]

Mowbray could not out-think a peanut, let alone Tony Pulis. 
 

I don’t know if anyone else is familiar with the Bowie song ‘Always Crashing in the Same Car’, it was apparently written about Rovers under Mowbray.

[Doogs]

Totally give up on this lot. No more posts from me..

[jim mk2]

Pulis has never lost to Mowbray as manager in 8 games. Nothing about to change 

[neophox]

We really have to change the set up for second half or we are geting batterier by the Basement Boye...

[SoldierMo]

Raya beaten from cardiffs own half

[SoldierMo]

If we lose or draw this mowbray has to walk have some damn self respect

Im sure Mowbray won the possession % in those 8 games.

[New Jeru]

We have to dominate possession because as we see week after week, if we lose the ball we will concede.  That's probably why most of the players are so conservative on the ball, looking for safe options that retain possession but never actually lead to a chance.

Elliott's the only one who looks willing to take a chance to make something happen.

[The Gull]

It seems we were spoilt with Bell....

[OldEwoodBlue]

Same old story

Gallagher is a useless lummox.

Rothwell is rubbish.

Get them off.

 

 

[Miker]

What happened to Trybull? Not in the squad at all?

[rovers11]

Same old story yet again. We have a talented squad and are underachieving. No progress. Time for a change. 

[TheRoversReturn]

Just to cheer myself up I'm fondly reminiscing about those autumn days when we were "flat track bullies"...

Can't even say that any longer!

This is an awful Wednesday side so surely we must turn it around, but the uncomfortable reality is that we're getting worse the longer the season goes on, not better...
