Lucky not to be down to 10; JPVH one foul away from a red, likely to come before half time 

Now that would suit Mowbray.

[WacoRover]

It’s very sad, but Mowbray’s lack of passion was sure to rub off on the players eventually. No enthusiasm, pride and joy to play the game they love are dead.

So far we have been in the pocket of their centre halfs. Not even had a sniff of getting beyond them. Literally not a single chance all half.

This is 7th place, 2 points out the play offs, at home, against a side who always loses away. What the fuck is going on ?

Welcome to the Mowbray Zone

[TimmyJimmy]

Consistent problem #1 this year - absolutely no midfield.

The body language of our players is worrying, looks like their fighting spirit is broken and they would rather be anywhere else than on the pitch

Why is this when we have a chance of the playoffs though?...it's unfathomable and infuriating.

Have bonuses been stopped,are wages being withheld?

[Exiled in Toronto]

Van Hecke, Wharton and Johnson off at HT, Ayala Rothwell and Buckley on.

Mowbray; his team selection, tactics and motivation is going on. We are playing like Mowbray; slow, ponderous and dull. 

[1864roverite]

It’s is pretty simple NO pride No effort No creativity No fucking idea and it’s an atrocious insult to the fans what Mowbray has done to the team today and before hand. They cannot string a pass there is no money who can create whilst Johnson is just a waste. It really is a shocking reflection on Mowbrays tenure

Harwood Belis can just use the same kit at the weekend

[OldEwoodBlue]

I wonder if Chaddy is enjoying this ?

[SuperBrfc]

Did anybody notice what happened when there was a break in play about 10 mins ago?

Mowbray was talking to Dolan on the touchline and he says to Dolan "what's up with you guys?".

There's deluded, then there's Mowbray. None of this is his fault according to him. Something is badly wrong at this club.

This was clear before the January window and not addressed. I knew it would be costly, why didn’t the professionals?

Agree. 4 at the back and flood the midfield.

False position, simply put. I genuinely think at the present time we are the worst team in the division.

[Tom]

Johnson plays a near killer ball for them - Mowbray stands and claps

On the heels of losing to last place 

[moerpho]

For shits sake Johnson!

I think we proved that last Friday

And it’s not particularly close

[bluebruce]

Johnson is terrible. He just shouldn't ever be on the pitch.

[Miker]

Hopefully the team is resoundingly booed at half time.

[jim mk2]

It was said on here before the season started that we would do well to avoid a relegation scrap and if it hadn't been for that good run before Christmas that's where would be now

This is a relegation team

A medium booing

Davenport should really be on the bench at least. Not that he's really good enough but at his age, there's hope he'll improve. Though, with his contract expiring, we may have seen the last of him.

Small boo

Don't want to upset the lambs
