Time to resurrect the relegation thread after (another) disastrous weekend. Currently Rovers have the worst results over the last 6 matches of any team in the 4 divisions. Reading and Rotherham - between them - have lost only once. Apart from the New Year blip of 4 wins this losing habit stretches back for 3 months now. On current form and with non-league standard defending there are probably just 3 matches that offer a realistic prospect of picking up any further points - the home fixtures v Wigan, Bolton and Swansea (and last match nerves might screw that up too). If both Reading or Rotherham win 3 (out of 11) and draw 3 each then more points will be required - where from - and recent form suggests they may well do just that. Mowbray needs to stop chuntering on about next season and do the job he's paid to for this season.

In 4 transfer windows Mowbray has signed only 4 players who have really impacted the first eleven - Dack , Armstrong, Smallwood and the fading Reed. Not an impressive record that bodes ill for what is needed this summer.

He's good with washing powder then.

Mowbray is allowed to mark his own work . Not good or right.

Anyone like to predict where the next point is coming from as the totally symbolic defending and lack of options to deal with this it could be quite some time

I suspect,admittedly without any evidence, that like a lot of older, high-mileage and heavily-built strikers he has a chronic back or hip condition

Rodwell failed to track any of Assombolongas runs and was nowhere to be seen for the goal. He just doesn't understand how to play CB

Just hope 43 points is enough. The way its going last match home to Swansea is looking the most likely source of further points

That sums it pretty well. Very ominous for next season as teams on the slide in the second half of the previous season are prime candidates for relegation.

Bell should be on the bench and Williams sent on his way.

Mowbrays managerial record shows that his teams results go into freefall after a couple og seasons and he doesnt know how to stop it.

How on earth did Forest even ask £7m for this total dump of a player?

Bennett, Rodwell,Mulgrew, Bell/Williams all as soft as putty

He's gradually writing himself out of a new contract here. If as he's proving he can't be trusted at CB then there's no point wasting high wages on a half-hearted injury waiting to happen in Cm.

Just like Gladwin.

Can anyone explain what qualities Brereton has got . As I've seen it No pace Weak and timid Poor first touch (And usually second too) Very average work rate Wins little in the air Can't hold the ball up front Lacks awareness of play around him Lacks composure in front of goal Apart from the above all good?

Totally agree. But any confidence his replacement would be any better?

Getting relegated next season, if not this, will be a lot more expensive

Williams is the worst footballer I've seen in a Rovers shirt in 55 years. He should never be seen again but as a Mowbray favourite he'll be in again as soon as the suspension ends.

Add a proper goalkeeper to the shopping list as Rayas lack of aerial control or presence is chronic and has cost at least 10 points so far this season.

Walcott won't recommend sacking TM until next Christmas when we'll be 6 points adrift of safety. Getting Waggott appointed was Mowbrays job guarantee

With defending like that - and replicated ad museum this season - it's difficult to see where the next point is coming from. Even 50 seems a long way off now.

Bell febble, sloppy defending ..again

To even stand still Mowbray will probably have to replace 3 of the best players - Dack (sold), Rodwell (out of contract - more lucrative offer elsewhere) and Reed (recalled by Saints particularly if relegated). Then there is alot more to do as both fullback positions are weak and a back-up/replacement for Graham is desperately needed. Not sure Venkys will fund it and Mowbray's transfer record is mediocre.

What's the manager done wrong? He's only been there five minutes.
