Barnsley v Rovers, Wed 17th Feb

[neophox]

They Barnsley have a good manager that's the difference. We have a very talented side but a very poor manager.

tony mowbray is no fine wine

he`s lost his mind with our defensive line

he sat in his seat,what a fete

staring lazily at another defeat!!!!!!

Great goal by Arma but too little, too late.

Elliott should have been on at the start. What a stupid starting 11.

[DavidMailsTightPerm]

First half tactically not too bad - second half abysmal, just too slow to react to their changes. TM has to go before the good work he has done is lost by what is a season of massive under achievement.

Mowbray and others will have some comments about the pitch but the fact is whilst we've been hoofing it out of play Barnlsley have passed and played through us this second half.

Its not just 3 losses on the trot. It's 3 abject performances on the trot as well.

It’s at least six abject performances in a row. Let’s have it right.

Ok folks - this is going to be a big thread this evening and tomorrow.

I urge you not to start hurling insults at each other. If your post is reported for abuse of other members the mods have no option but to issue bans. 

Too much unanimity for that!

Every time we get a sniff of the playoffs this happens - every single time, without fail. It's so pathetic. The entire non-playing side of the club needs a clear out, the mentality needs to change. Certain players need to go too, but with a team of winners in the dugout I genuinely believe a fair few of our current squad would thrive, whilst the rest would be quickly weeded out and moved on.

Never going to happen under Venky's though. That kind of transformation can only come through owners who actually give a shit.

10 points off sixth. Would be a logical time to change the manager.

More concerned at the moment we are 11 points off 22nd

Under normal circumstances,that would most certainly be it for the manager. Elliot, nice 

Jurgen "So how's it going Harvey?"

Harvey "Not too bad boss. Except that he now seems to think someone called Elliot Bennett is better than me."

ifollow can stick their  tenner where the sun don`t shine after this

Don't think it was nosebleed stuff this time, we'd been way off the pace for a while before we got within a sniff of the top six.

I hear The Heat Is On playing at Oakwell. No chance at Rovers!

When is the next flight to Pune?

What a fucking shambles. These 2 loaned are fucking shite and our gameplan just consists of kicking it out of play for a Barnsley goal kick.

Why would anyone want to keep him after this?

Would be better off sending to back, and recalling our own young players. Why give them experience when our own players could look this bad

Relegation form, it's as simple as that. The coach should drop him off at home before it heads back to Blackburn.

[Cuppliance]

Not sure if there is even any point changing the Manager until the end of the season now. We are that far behind we might as well give him till the end of the season.

[neophox]

I doesn't seem right but I hope we lose to bottom side Nottingham on Saturday as I think that could be the final straw.

Why on earth would we do that?

[yankfan]

Let’s not forget our “run” in January was full of dreadful performances too. Haven’t played well for months.

Nail and head. 

I've never known a season start off with good passing football with players playing in the correct position ( well almost) to this abject shite I've witnessed tonight. Wtf is Evans still doing at our club? 

Sorry to say..... Tony's confused and the players moreso. 

Time to move on TM... And apart from Keane and Coyle I've kept my gob shut.

Or give a new manager the rest of this season with no pressure, to settle in and get to know the current squad of players? That sounds the better option to me. F**k giving Tony any more time in the job.

[CambridgeRover]

Nothing else to add but Mowbray Out

The fact that he starts Bennett , the two shit loanees (who have no right to be in our starting eleven) and Gallagher says everything. 

Time to go dickhead

[garnersfags]

That was comfortably the weakest, poorest, least effective 45 minutes that I can remember. From ANY team, at ANY level. 

We have given up. 

Mowbray, you are so lucky there are no fans allowed, home or away. 

I am devastated. What a waste. 

We have turned decent players into insecure cloggers. 

Pathetic.
