Stoke (h) Saturday 16th Jan

This is the kind of performance that often sees a manager lose his job. It's a shame there's no chance of it happening here

Interesting that Mowbray made two subs at HT, though. He very rarely makes any changes at HT - a sign of some pressure? 

If he hasn't already lost the dressing room, he will have if this gets any worse.

[AspRover]

We have the players but somehow we are so much worse than the sum of our parts

[jim mk2]

A glimmer of hope.... Gallagher off. 

[Bbrovers2288]

What an underwhelming season. Really really is.

I haven’t gave up quite this early since we’ll ever 

[roversinmyblood]

We are second to every ball!! Unbelievable.

I think we all know deep down it's already over. We haven't performed well for months now. This isn't a team with a hope in hell of reaching the playoffs.

Historically under Mowbray we go on a decent run following a set of poor results. Winless in 5-6, win 2-4, repeat. Something feels different this time. I can’t see us winning 3-4 on the spin again under him. Heck I can’t see us winning one right now to be honest.

We've had one shot in 60 minutes so far and one disallowed goal. Stoke have had 12 shots. If Mowbray hasn't lost the dressing room then at the very least he's lost the ability to motivate the players to perform to anywhere close to an acceptable standard - and recently that even goes for most of the games we've won.

That's not bad for us.

I am hating every minute of this

I'd agree, it feels different this time. Even after beating Birmingham at the start of the month we've gone right back to playing like total shit. Normally that result would have spurred on a few decent performances and results.

We're on the back foot the whole time, outfought and out-thought.... can't even get out of our own half

[K-Hod]

We’ve been appalling today.

Trying to work out what’s worse, how we’ve played, or the pitch....

The 5 subs rule is actually terrible for Mowbray. He feels inclined to constantly tinker and give everyone a game. 

[Bigdoggsteel]

Why are we tapping it around our box? Holtby ran back, got the ball ,did a little shimmy , then turned and passed it back to Kaminski. This is rubbish.

Mowbray out out out!!!!

Both.

[rovers11]

He's not got a clue how we get back into this game. 

[SoldierMo]

Hes seriously lost it and llayers have lost faith

[yellowsubmarine]

Credit to Mowbray, how he turned us into such an awful team in the space of a few months, is simply amazing.

[DE.]

Have we literally had a single shot on goal since the break?

[G Somerset Rover]

This would be Stoke’s second win in ten (all comps). Their other win in that run?

Us.
