Should've asked him what we have to show for all this money they're putting in

That is the question!

No not another Mowbray please...we need something new.

Lol yeah, although in terms of us shitting our pants at the sight of the playoffs this one will take some beating.

Indeed, it's a heck of an evasive action. I mean I expected a whimper and a loss but even so TM manages to continue to negatively exceed expectations.

Yes, it’s bad. But if it’s any consolation, even Liverpool and ManU have a game like this every year. 

Take our lumps, come out ready to face ShefU on Saturday. 

When did either Liverpool or Man United last lose 7-0 at home?

Available managers and managers in lower leagues.

Ryan Lowe (Plymoouth manager) doing really well. Promotion with Bury and Plymouth as manager and now second in the league with Plymouth.

Nuno Esperito Santos (last at Spurs)

Alex Neil (last at Preston)

Mark Hughes (last at Southampton)

Paulo Fonseca (last at Roma) 

Andrea Pirlo (last at Juventus)

Gennaro Gattuso (last at Napoli)

Mark Van Bommel (last Wolfsburg)

Frank Lampard (last at Chelsea)

Gareth Ainsworth (Wycombe)

Daniel Cowley (Portsmouth)

 

 

Neil Hughes Wilder Ainsworth Lowe all good options for me, not sure on Cowley. The rest of those there’s no chance in a million years would come here. 😂

Well things can only get better.

Do not be fooled by Fulhams quality or Mowbrays usual BS.  We started quite lively but couldn't string 2 passes together. Johnson is a liability and Rothwell was exposed as not being a center mid. Somethi g most of us already knew, the pair stank the place out first half.

Fulham literally strolled into the box twice and scored twice it was that easy they didn't break sweat. Rovers were dire as a side in terms of being solid and organized, everything you need to be in a game like this. 

Sending off killed it but i doubt we'd have had anything other than a 0-3 or 4 anyway.  What followed was a right clusterfuck. 

And what did the manager do ?  Yes that's right he stood there with his hands in his pockets.  Briefly hid on the bench when the 3rd went in but re-emerged when the crowd didn't turn. Then just stood there again hands in pockets not even the usual hands on head or shaking head.

The guy is a complete surrender monkey i really don't think either Kean or Coyle would've served that up tonight. Even with that side as good old give the boys mins Tony basically turned it into a complete embarrassment with his subs.

Seven, that's right SEVEN NIL at home.

What more evidence do some of our deluded Tony tub thumpers need that he's been having you over for 2 years now.

Yeah, and there's no good answer for it is there? I think this has been coming for oh so long, and I think things will now rapidly get worse

These 3 people along with Wilder should be any shortlist for Rovers.

IF Mark Hughes would be willing to come here under this lot then it's a no brainer for me!!!! 

Cant see any decent manager wanting to come under current ownership.  Yeah I'm down but right now I'd be happy with them all walking away. Dont see how the club can recover after an embarrassing performance including the players.

Nope.

If I can’t have ability (because I don’t believe any manager with a good rep will come here), I take passion. What I can’t stand is not having either.

One player I do feel sorry for us Buckley. I mean there's a fair amount of debate as to how good he is/might be but playing three different positions - and in three different areas of the pitch no less -  in as many games is bound to bugger up his development. That he was wildly unsuited to two of them makes it even more unfair. 

Just to clarify not saying he is great or rubbish or commenting on his performance today, but rather pointing out the ineptitude of how he is managed.

I can’t believe I watched all of that. Moreso, I watched his interview and couldn’t believe he didn’t apologise at any point.

Even moreso, I’m travelling up to see family this weekend and planning to go on Saturday. What felt like a long overdue visit with an old friend feels like I’ll be heading up for a final visit with a dying relative.

What a sad state of affairs the club is.

Not to sound numb but where did you watch the interview?

[broadsword]

It doesn't matter does it, they sack him, they'll appoint some other clueless arse. Not only that, but given the toxic way they run the club, whoever it is, they'll be a morality-free zone

What a shambles and dreadful performance that was. I stayed until the final whistle. Few Mowbray out chants. 

Very angry at that performance that started with manager's team selection. 

Mowbray had to go!!

was you shouting mowbray out or something to that effect? if not then your hardly in a position to criticise but if you where then good on ya.

Agreed, but who else could of played? No one on that bench would of made a difference.

Another fault of the manager. I've never seen so many signings make so little impact.

Personally I thought the few good moments we had all involved his awareness and speed of thought.

Yeah agreed not Buckleys fault tonight. Just like when we put Clarkson in that role at QPR, utterly pointless. Stick Nolan in the middle at least he can make a nuisance of himself.

A manager worth their salt would, though.

[neophox]

We seem to miss leadership on and of the pitch.. Dack and Ayala are hugely missed at the moment.

[neophox]

Ill be back when Mowbrays out.

At least as a result of being ridiculously played as a false 9 by our idiot manager he managed to get off the pitch tonight before the real hammering began. 

[Doogs]

To think them thick heads at Rovers wanted to charge up to 36 quid to watch that crap.
