Popular Post SuperBrfc Posted April 8, 2022 Popular Post Posted April 8, 2022 Good riddance to the lot of the Mowbray crew. Simply not good enough for this football club, not a winner among any of them and all lucky to be here in the first place. Waggott has tried to make out that we are lucky to have Mowbray managing us from the minute that he (Waggott) got here. No Steve, you are. Not us. Nobody else was recommending you to be the CEO here. Mowbray has tried to make out as if he is doing us a favour by being here. It would be laughable if it wasn't insulting. This isn't Arsene Wenger and David Dein walking out. Call their bluff and get 'em gone. It's probably scaremongering about the entire backroom operation leaving, but even if they are, I'm all for it. We need change and people who want to push the club forward. 17 Quote

Exactly what people said would happen, happened. It's still our fault. It's the fans who didn't sign a striker in January, it's the fans who constantly play players out of position when it's been proven time and time and time and time again that it doesn’t work, it's the fans that have absolutely no desire for promotion or to achieve anything other than a mid table plod. What a fucking bunch of shit fans we are. Edited April 9, 2022 by Upside Down 6 Quote

Yeah exactly. Think it was before either the Luton or Swansea game only 2 months ago and we were still in second. Out of 5 of us sat in the pub 4 thought there was no chance of the play offs and 1 thought they were a certainty as we’d need to go on a relegation form run for the rest of the season to drop out. He should have known better. 2 Quote

He should have known better. I thought we’d no chance of automatic promotion and a 50/50 chance of making the play offs. I think I said so at the time. There’s an aura around teams that go up and at no point did we have that. Forest have that aura. Edited April 9, 2022 by Tyrone Shoelaces 3 Quote

Recruitment is one of the areas that you need the most long-term planning. Short-term deals for the people in charge of it don't facilitate that. He always looked like a stop gap appointment right from the off. We needed a HOR after the previous one left so the job is advertised and various names are banded about. Then in comes another old pal of the manager who was doing very little if anything at all with his time. Hard to know what if anything to credit him with because we were quite good in the loan market beforehand. So what are we looking at ? Hedges and who else ? Quote

He was credited with the Khadra loan specifically. As in, direct recommendation. Old pals act it may be, but he does have a bit of pedigree, and I'm surprised TM didn't get his mate a cushy 3 year deal. Maybe he said, 'John, if I stay you stay, but I'm probably off at the end of the year and I'll get you a gig at the new place' 1 Quote

Zeefuik - injured mostly, and played out of position half the time or more when fit. Giles - almost always out of position. Brown - never played even when all other RBs out, but given a new deal anyway. Markanday - injured. It's really hard to know what we actually got with these players, as they either haven't been used or haven't been used right. Quote
G Somerset Rover Posted April 9, 2022 Posted April 9, 2022 Four wins in seventeen. Get this clown out now. What on earth is the point in letting him hang around for five more matches. Really, really beginning to detest the bloke. 4 Quote
Mr. E Posted April 9, 2022 Posted April 9, 2022 People are being very generous with their ratings here. We've had some good runs, but time and time again the collapses have been horrific and wiped out anything even remotely positive that had been build by those runs. Even more alarmingly he inspires no fight whatsoever in the players. Too busy thinking about what total garbage he will be spew in the next interview. A 3/10 at most. He's only still here because we have no owners, no one in the running of the club has any ambition. 3 Quote

Theaxe15 Posted April 9, 2022 Posted April 9, 2022 That game today summed his reign up as a whole. Sticking with a formation that everyone but himself can see isn’t working to then making changes and players having to run over to ask him where they’re meant to be playing. I can’t see how anyone can defend him after that today 3 Quote

The League 1 promotion campaign was a reasonable effort although given the fact it was so heavily bankrolled by the owners it would have been an absolute disaster had we not gone up. At Championship level however, completely agree. His record for us in this division is absolute shite. I keep saying it but given the backing he's had, pound for pound he's our worst ever manager for me. 2 Quote
tina Posted April 9, 2022 Posted April 9, 2022 Doesn't make him good because he was better than Snakehead. Two poor managers for the club along with the rest under these owners. Poor management 1 Quote
G Somerset Rover Posted April 9, 2022 Posted April 9, 2022 What was Mowbray’s record breaking run last season. Wasn’t it 2 wins from 17? We’re currently 2 wins from 13. Can he trump it with 5 matches left?! Quote
