However if they see, like us that what he is doing is ridiculous what is their reaction likely to be, not 100% effort I'll bet. Glad to read some others cottoning on to my Mowbary, like Bowyer, self preservation theory.

Possibly the best option this.

It was a peach of a cross to be fair.

Yeah we did.

Just following the script we do this shit time and time again, let's get rid of Mowbary.

9mins could be 90 we ain't scoring

Buckley bursting forwards like Travis used to, Mowbary will put an end to that silly business

As many predicted the slide would begin with wigan

Why do other teams always look like they will score and we never look like scoring?

Woah Chapman wow I am blown away.

ToMo no scarf and we lose, game over it looks like to me. Don't see us coming back.

Typical Armstrong runs right into the defender. And again Which leads tonus going down, what a strike

Seems like the only time we can ever string more than two passes together is when we pass it around back.

Where is ToMo's scarf.

Played more games too. No international holidays

I put it poorly I meant in terms of strength on the ball rather than lterally comparing their stature, sorry.

Messi is.like the Hulk compared to Buckley. Good players, even slight ones, learn how to use their body positioning to gain maximum strength. Someone mentioned Dack not being the strongest, true but he is hard to knock off the ball, just ask Jagielka was it? in that friendly, loved that.

I like Buckley, somewhat, you can see it is there but a decent gust of wind knocks him off the ball, fix that he will be a player.

That's ToMo though such a great motivator. Results picked up when Bennett was dropped not because of Bennett's lack of ability but because of the better mental attitude of the rest of the players. It HAS to get their goats watching shit players they know are worse than them getting picked ahead of them week after week.

Are you seriously asking Mowbary to play a quality player in his preferred position, too much Brandy in the Xmas Pud.

A limp wristed battering but Walton keeps the score looking respectable.

Or does Arteta fancy him for Arsenal? Has that been suggested yet? Or perhaps, heaven forbid, he's actually just injured. That just couldn't be the case could it? Can an Agent actually stop his client from playing once he has signed a contract with a team? Surely that's BS.

Personally I think it is time for one of our slides, getting to the PL would.mean too much work for everyone so let's make sure we just maintain our nice cushy number here. This whole getting close then dropping points to nothing teams is just like Bowyer, self preservation, better chance of keeping a job here than the Prem. Cynical I know. I don't see us winning till after PNE game.

Thoroughly predictable Xmas period, most of us knew it. The biggest surprise for me is that we have not lost one.

It's a kiss and make up for leaving him out.
