2 slice but thick enough for barmcakes 😍

Here in the benighted region they call york***re they call barmcakes 'breadcakes'. Can you believe it?!

Let's start a barmcake discussion, I've given up on the footy.

Not a single chance in the second half of a game we had to win.  Speechless.

He's not as bad as Dalglish though as you rightly pointed out.

Some KInd of Nothingness ...... the Manic Street Preachers

Rovers anthem under Tony

 

[West Yorks Rover]

I predict Reading will tear us apart on Tuesday, with very little effort required from them.

[lsp82]

Mowbrays positives post match. 

Really pleased we scored a first half goal as it is something we have been working hard on in training. 

We are now unbeaten in 1 game. 

It was great defending by our crossbar to block what was a certain goal.

Yes, because he has no idea what to do with them anyway so why complicate things. Game was.going as he wanted why screw it up.  Get him out.

I was being sarcastic. He usually throws five on with no plan.

[Blue blood]

Had this as one of my three certs to win. In fairness I wasn't totally out in assessing the opposition as they only managed a draw against us. Getting worried now - for this season that is, not for TMs reign I've been worried about that for years...

Looking at the upcoming fixtures, we're bang in trouble. A relegation fight ahead. We should be ok but what a hopeless season. 

Indeed,every chance of being dragged into a relegation battle...it's pathetic.

Abysmal.

Mowbray Out

Waggott Out

Venky's Out

Funny isn’t it.

In the past, back in the days of sanity, it would be in that order.

If the manager wasn’t potted, or it was clear their hands were tied, fans went after the board. If the board were resolute the owners were under fire. If it ever got to that point, change happened.

What happens when the first two happen and the owners don’t act and don’t speak?

Apathy from the majority and arguments between the rest. Both of which are hugely damaging for the club.

We seem to have reached a point where either Mowbray walks or the fans will.

It’s some journey this.

Coventry were the better side for 75-80 mins there. 

Only one team looked like relegation fodder and it was the one in blue halves.  We made Coventry look good.  We have a team that is a reflection of Mowbray,  no fire, no fight, no emotion, the footballing equivalent of sitting with hands in pockets.  Tony GObray, get rid, get him iut of here please.

[4000Holes]

It is getting to the point that we have got to hope there are 3 worse teams than us.

Looking at that table tonight, surely Mowbray must realise his position is untenable.

A bumpy journey to Shitville.

Dodgy start. But then I thought we were very decent the rest of the first half. We had them pinned back and were threatening. 

Second half was abject. Bullied all over the pitch. They were winning every header against our back 4. Horrible looking football from them but it was working.

And that's the problem. If we've got a so called style. Then we need to be able to nullify that threat by getting on the ball in the middle and moving the whole team up the pitch. Stop us getting pinned. 

Anyway second half was shocking. One other point which is worth making. Bradley Dack. You're my favourite player but where the hell are you playing. He was like a right back quarterback. Has he got a Trent poster in his bedroom. Surely Mowbray has to be looking at that and in a split second correcting it. As in a totally different way. It's as ridiculous as Gallagher playing right back.

We've gone up a place to 15th so Tony will be celebrating that.

He probably knows it is. But he’s on an earner. He couldn’t give a toss how we get on

[Ossydave]

Well Ben scored a good goal, after that its slim pickings for positives.

Looking at the next 4 games we're getting 0 points.

If anyone isn't worried about relegation yet you really, really should be.

It's like being a kid hoping the journey is to Disneyland and you end up at Frontierland,Morecambe instead.

[blondie]

Absolutely clueless.No passion, no bravery no character, a mirror image of the manager.

Venus sat doing an impersonation of a cardboard cut-out.

Thanks Tony, but time is up.

[chaddyrovers]

No shots on target second half. Pathetic from us

When it closed.

Things I’m not interested in seeing or hearing: 

1) Any talk about a journey 

2) Where the managers best interests are

3) The value of the squad 

4) Promotion from League One 

5) The style of football

6) What the stats say

7) Being trusted to nurture top talent

I’m judging this solely on the results and performances in the last 12 months.
