He certainly tried his best today to throw away that lead. There's no way the players decided to pull everyone back like that, for anyone watching it was clearly under orders.

Nope, still a minute to fuck it up.

Why does he do it?

This has been the most f***ing stupid thing I've ever seen. Coasting then he told every man to get back and defend apart from Brereton. We're playing bottom of the league Derby!

Silly Tony.

Poveda's on the pitch 😳

Starting the eeiieeeiiiooo Tony is our king chants now.

Blackpool just taken the number 5 position.

2-0 up, our best defender out injured and Tony risks everyone defending for 45+ minutes. Not like we've lost many 2-0 leads this year is it.

If Poveda comes on we've gone full Mowbray.

Khadra for Dolan.

He's already ordered them to park the bus. We've got a 9 man defence at the moment.

Tony's parked the bus.

Same old Rovers.

Should be 4-0. Which Rovers will come out in the second half? 😬

BB's movement and finishing is on a different level this season.

I think we're giving him way too much credit here. Does it also explain the nonsense he comes out with pre and post match?

But still better than 5 2 3 or whatever it was - Tony's more crappy defending the merrier tactic.

Those mysterious team pickers must be haunting him, they've been forcing daft team selections and tactics on him all his career.

Yes we had Ince to blame for Keith Andrews.

Someone should mention it to Burnley’s new owners too.

Rovers were bland and chances were scarce until the forced changes. If that's his Plan A then God help us.

That would be brilliant but it's more likely they'll take Wilder or Farke, who I can't see hanging onto his job much longer.

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.

Only Rovers would have to do that with a few minutes to go at 2-0 up.
