Branthwaite really isn’t ready. If he was one of our U23s he’d be getting pelters.

Can wait until Wharton is back.

End of the year?

[Bigdoggsteel]

How can Mowbray watch training all week and decide Rothwell should paly there..ok ,he might score, but he is currently AWOL in a big way 

[Tom]

Douglas is so lucky the forward hasn’t been able to control that

Buckley and Rothwell wouldn't make another team in the top 12 

Rothwell would comfortably. Just not as a left winger / left forward. 
It’s classic Mowbray - throw players all over the show as long as they’re not in their natural position

I can't understand how he turned to his subs, saw Dack, Trybull, Holtby,  Brereton  and went with Buckley....😳

Neither can I but Holtby not on bench

Comfortably? Not sure about that. He's consistently inconsistent

It’s so disorganised it’s like flinging mud at walls and seeing what sticks Mark Hughes would sort this. Neil Warnock is loving it he’s tactically got his side spot on. Douglas being targeted now 

[matt83]

Take the positives sleepy Tone is still awake.

Well about 30 seconds later you posted that our tactics are to wait for the magic from him or Elliott.

Mowbray has to realise that before we can play our "good football" we have to impose ourselves on teams. At the moment we're just chasing shadows

This is turgid not two passes together we look as if we’ve never played before we’ve no idea 

I've always struggled to find a word to describe Mowbray's face and you've inspired me. Turgid 

[G Somerset Rover]

None of the players look comfortable where they’re playing. Travis seems to be playing pretty much RM FFS. 

Such a sh*te half but I know none of us are surprised. I’d bloody love it for one of the Sky boys to say this is Rovers, we’re not the ‘excellent footballing side’ that Mowbray and the media tell us we are. But that ain’t gonna happen.

this formation really is`nt working,there is no other option for anyone other than to pass it square or back,it`s so slow a sunday league side could defend against it

[Angry_Pirate]

I say this every week... but this is abysmal.

[RTM08]

"That's what Mowbray wants to do, get the full backs high up the pitch and in behind"

But why? There's absolutely no point putting the fullbacks up and whipping balls in when Buckley and Armstrong are the only ones in the centre, especially against a team like Boro.

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Nyambe has been bloody awful last 2 games.

[LDRover]

Did someone's washing blow onto the pitch at around the time of the first substitution?

[joey_big_nose]

This is an unbelievably bad game. Actually feel sorry for the commentators.

I do wonder the sense in 433 when we can't even get our foot on the ball.

Game feels like it needs Holtby but I don't think he's on the bench?

[Tom]

Douglas lucky again this time that Kaminksi was alert to his flick on

[SoldierMo]

Chaddy? I think our football shelf life is over even before Dyche football

[Silas]

Have we had 1 completed pass in the final 3rd?

Kaminski is far too good for us, I can't imagine how it feels to have such a useless defence in front of him.

[Oldgregg86]

Sick of hearing about Tony’s possession based football. Last time the stats flashed up we had 28% Possession. We’ve hit more long balls to no one that I care to remember. Absolutely bored to death ...again

[TugaysMarlboro]

Why does he keep persisting with Rothwell in that front 3.

[CrouchingNunhiddenCucumber]

1 shot, 0 on target

The Mowbray way
