Only balance Mowbary is familiar.with has to do with his bank.

Have to disagree Rev, Buckley is a Mowbary sweetheart where as Travis threatened his "Mr Reed you have.to play like Smallwood and Evans" super midfield. Big difference Buckley is on TM's favourite players list.

Mowbary, what can you say. My belief is this, Mowbary has no intention if getting us promoted. Just like Bowyer he know he is on a comfortable ride here. Keep the owners happy by showing well thereby protecting his job. It's self preservation, if we got promoted he would really have to work, he would fail and be fired. Longevity if this cushy gig is all but guaranteed if we keep looking like we have a chance. I think Bowyer did the same thing. I can handle being beaten by a better team, I can handle losing to a bad decision or bad luck. What is never, and never has been, acceptable is to roll over with no sign of effort or commitment. Even in our dark third division days I always came away from games thinking that we at.least left it all out on the pitch. This lot? Pffft.

I saw that too Rev, but after 15 mins it was like a switch. Almost like they were all satisfied.that we had done decent till then. Anyway I switched off at halftime so 30 mins later than our players did. I just feel bad.for the fans who plonked down their hard earned, fantastic support and then they get served up that heartless gutless effort, not sure effort is even the right word.

Bye lads and lasses I am sure you are sick of my posts as much as I am.watching this predictable shit.

Oh dear oh dear. How poor was that all around time to go work on me motorbikes. On the bright side we will still be 3 points off the playoffs BUT that means more defeats until we are so far away from the playoffs that it doesn't matter. I said 3 0 it.might have.been optimistic

Ah yes there is Rithwell sloppy pass puts us under immediate pressure.

Good stop by Walton.

OMG Gallagher, clear.sign he don't even want the ball so lacking is he in confidence.

Rothwell's playing? I had not noticed.

Bell bombing forward and NEITHER Brereton nor Gallagher shiw any strikers instinct both of them go to the same patch of grass which does nothing to help cap off a very good run by Bell.

Good to the script, first of about 3 I reckon. Good strike. Had the feeling it was going to be one of those days as soon as Brereton missed. The glass ceiling is now boarded up. Rams well on top quicker passes snappier we look like the team that played Thursday and BB fucks it up again. Forest reject sing the Derby fans, never.mind that, Rovers reject? Hasn't BB done this before, looked good in cameos, earned a start then BOMBED.

Good start but we have to make it count because I can feel the sucker punch coming.

Will Bell ever cross without hitting a defender?

BRERETON OMG.

Don't see us getting anything here Top6iphobia. No not a booking for Trav. would have been harsh.

I would love to see us shatter that glass.celing just to see how we react to actually being in there. Will we be in the MIX then?. Shatter? hell I'd be ecstatic to see us crack it.

We all know who will be protected and who will be getting the yellow or red cards don't we.

As far as I remember Walton's gone the wrong way every time. Could he be telegraphing his intentions and the taker adjusts. Really can't remember Walton getting close to a penalty.

Forgot about that one, funny how he did not miss the slightest touch on Swansea players though.

Have to agree, enjoyed BB's performance today. Samuel nack to the crap player I remember. Ben deserves a start soon. Agree with the poster about the refs. Tired of them deciding our games. 100% a red card. Crap penalty by Graham, his effort was as soft as the penalty itself, as was theirs. The holding at our late corners was thuggery, he did not see any if that either. Heard Swansea did some snivelling about getting a rough deal from refs looked to me like it worked. At least he added some time. Anyway I thought we played decent enough. Gally heads that ball straight and it's in. Tosin bit sloppy today, perhaps missed Darra. Nell frustrating almost every attempt at a cross he hits the defender stood in front if him.

How many times have we seen him do that this season? I have not seen it. Just want to add to the posters negatives on Gally out wide. Playing him there seems to impede Nyambe going forward too.

Games like tonight are why we are not playoff bound.

Thought Walton was excellent and I have been as critical of him as anyone but fair do's he has improved a lot. I wonder what some of us would be saying had he concerned the penalty exactly as Raya had. I am also curious how many of those claiming ours was not a penalty are Raya "fans".

We all watched the same game at Brentford yet there are differing opinions on both penalties (me being right of course) so why would VAR be any different. There is no clinical measurement for a penalty like offside. A penalty is pretty much always based on someone's opinion. VAR SUCKS in it's current format and needs to be scrapped.
