[SIMON GARNERS 194]

So Mowbray pulls one out the bag to keep us all suffering.

I just can't enjoy anymore.

Was just thinking, I’ve never seen such mediocrity.  We really have enough to be too 6…because no other side is that good either. 

Too true.

A half decent manager would make us genuine contenders.

What's happening with Rothwell is criminal.  Liked him from day one but feel Mogadon has held him back.  If he goes to Rangers, he will rip up the SPL.

Today's win was inevitable.

bang on, fulham,west brom and bournemouth miles ahead of the division,the rest of us are all equal,play offs are there to be taken,only thing holding us back is the bloody manager

If only we were looking at bringing in reinforcements in January instead of shipping off 40% of our starting 11

Apart from a few sparks, poor game overall. That first half had the urgency of a sloth. The set up was all wrong, motivation was zero.

Reading had nothing.

Mowbray forced into making changes.

Poveda still very poor.

Rothwell's run got us into the game, hitting the post and allowing Gallagher to tap in.

Amazing goal from Dolan.

Van Hecke should have scored after a brilliant run.

3 points - Mowbray still needs to go. The team only seems to get results when he can't do what he wants.

I hope this gives the team the spark to go and defeat bottom of the barrel Derby next week.

[Dreyski]

11th on goal difference. Not conceding two goals against Coventry would have put us fifth. Mowbray must really hate the playoff places.

Hope you enjoy your bottle of Red tonight Merce!

After his goal Dolan cost us two by ignoring diaz at every chance

Until this year never given a fair run in the middle.  Asked to play out wide and inconsistent opportunities. No wonder he isn’t interested in reupping.  Might have decided to move on last year and using this to highlight to others his abilities

I’d rather rothwell signed on but I’m not absolutely gutted if he left, can unlock defences and create at times but can also go missing and look shockingly average for games. Before he done well for the first he was misplacing passes all over the place

Just seen that PNE showed their game live at Deepdale, didn't realise you could do beam backs for run of the mill league games.

Not a good day for them 2-0 defeat and their captain sent off in the 97th minute 🙂

He's going nowhere anytime soon. Just get enough points to stave off relegation, please.

Ideally we need to keep all of the soon to be out of contract players and bin off the Coventrio Lowe and Benson.

That's the only hope we have of seeing any success.

Hope to goodness Brereton doesnt leave on a free!

That will be a trajedy of epic proportions!

Delighted to get the clean sheet

 as I thought they had become extinct at ewood.

Critchley doing extremely well at Blackpool on a relative shoestring. A few on here have been touting him as a suitable replacement for Mowbray for a while.

It’s not like we have the bodies to let any players walk

Yet as things stand it's likely to happen.

I’m never disappointed when Rovers win. He wouldn’t have gone even if we’d have lost.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Mowbray was on the radio saying Ayala had been feeling discomfort in his calf for a week or two. He’s sending him for a scan on Monday. That doesn’t sound promising.

Absolutely. Hes not going anywhere until seasons end, that’s when his contract runs out. 

Todays game day thread would’ve been one page, if not for the obvious, “Mowbray out”, “sack mowbray” comments. Why our fans cannot enjoy a win over a quality opponent for about 5 minutes, is beyond me. 

[Wheelton Blue]

After a poor standard first half, that was a decent win in the end.

Why Mowbray can't just stick to that formation, one that seems to suit the players the most, I'll never understand.
