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.

Ya,I think we have been found out. The thing is we have tools that could make us less predictable, but Mowbray doesn't know how to sue them. 

He's relying on Dack coming back and pulling us up the table.

Really poor this. Yet again no Plan B when it's clear the sideways passing and possession isn't working.

Can't for the life of me think what's happened to Holtby. Early in the season he was getting the ball on the half turn and playing quickly forward, it's sideways or backwards every time now.

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

he showed a bit of spirit and mouthed off at mowbray when he took him off at stoke,despite him having a good game,tony can`t be having any of that,he only likes nice boys

[Bigdoggsteel]

Come on let's call a spade a spade here too, Armstrong is useless since the Bristol city game. 

30 million my ass

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.

Most of the time these days, we are all calling for someone to be subbed off at half time because they are having an absolute mare.

Mowbray never seems to change them though.

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 

That's what I meant. In any case it's utter garbage but Tony's way is to continue doing it until we get a couple of decent results, so I anticipate more of this throughout 2021. The only hope now is some inspiration from Dack.

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

And leave the gravy train. Not a chance.

Well done to all the mowbray happy clappers. 

[SoldierMo]

No changes mowbrayyyyyyyy

[Bigdoggsteel]

Watched the goal again. How in god's name can anyone blame Ayala? Stop being stupid if you did. He can't make himself translucent if someone headers or kicks a ball at him from mere feet away. 

It was a shite header

Saw that too... Trybull was best player and Mowbray took him off...surely Will return to Norwich

Don't want to be a flip flopper with regards Mowbray in or out, but getting sick of this now.

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

One of them thinks ...the other ....just tinks 

Somethings never change ....and Mowbray STILL has followers , believers, we are on a journeyers , his plans take time to workers  ...you couldn’t make it up......

That's f*****g typical

Amended it for you

[G Somerset Rover]

Every single time - it’s like he believes a half time change is an admission that he cocked up (yet again).

[simongarnerisgod]

what odds for us to score twice!!!!!!!!!!!

Valid point 

[Bigdoggsteel]

Oh my god the commentary is ridiculous. 

Why do they say balls that don't go to our players are good balls? Like they clearly aren't

We should before we even concede, but I would still take it. Never want my team to lose 

[AdamRochina]

No changes.. I'm so surprised honestly .........

[yellowsubmarine]

The only time we should pass the ball to Gallagher is when he's ready to shoot. Asking him to control or trap the ball is really asking alot of him.

[Bigdoggsteel]

The payers look afraid to try and beat a man

"The Mowbray way" 

 

[Displaced Rover]

Comical defending. The lack of organisation back there is purely on Mowbray. He needs to go.

[Proudtobeblue&white]

Another defensive shitshow!
