We went there last season in half decent form, think we'd only lost 1 in 6 so were fairly optimistic, and still got pasted. Christ this season I can barely remember being THIS pessimistic about a game. I've been offered a ticket off literally 4 different people now because people can't be bothered. I've already got one so turned them down but I bet they'll struggle to find any takers! Long day ahead.....

Aa I said a few weeks ago, its going to turn big time on Saturday. Theres not a cat in hells chance we will get anything out of the game, its going to be embarrassing. Although our lowest following in years theres gonna be a lot of tanked up vocal fans there. Mowbray out will be sung and it's gonna be more than a few folk screaming it!

This is absolutely soul destroying, it's going off. Actually so bad I might just give Saturday's ticket away. Something is badly, badly wrong in the camp. This is Steve Kean & Coyle bad, arguably worse.

Ffs is Holtby actually injured or a bullshit excuse I wonder

I can see Evan's playing...

Isn't Samuel injured?

I noticed that, although I suspect best he's gonna get is a spot on the bench anyway, although he could of course be injured.... Southampton team is tiny theres a few players about 5 ft tall.

We've got the biggest injury list in the championship as it stands, is it all bad luck or some shite training methods? I think 4 of the 7 are knee injuries so there's a bit of a pattern. Next highest is our opponents on Tuesday night with 5, rather annoyingly Preston have 0 as it stands which perhaps plays a part in their league position but obviously not the sole factor.

Yet he claims that's why players keep getting injured in training ala Samuel this week, being pushed too hard. Sorry but I'd that's also the case get some new pissing Fitness Coaches

Staying up is about our ambition at this moment in time. I don't get it tbh. In my job I have clear objectives and KPI's. If I fail my jobs on the line, if I don't i get recognition. So what exactly has TM been told to achieve? It should, without a doubt be promotion given the squad and money he has had.

Once again it could be all so different Back end of that first half we played well, it was simple really, keep it up second half and pan them, they were totally on the racks Alas Its rovers Usual balls up of a second half, soft goal, pissed off fans, again.

Not sure tbh, guess we'll soon find out

Dack as a false 9 is probably my only gripe with that team. Bells injury may be a blessing as bad as that sounds to say. Hoping Rankin Costello gets a decent run out.

Oh you'd be surprised, Smallwood to start wouldn't even surprise me anymore ?

How the hell are Huddersfield 3/1 Sorry but some pennies are going on them We win = delighted They win = lots more pennies to eass the pain Draw = bit shite

We need 2 wins prior to this to take a respectable following. So yeah basically a miracle. Not saying it's right but that's how it is. I'm going but in all honesty its mainly about the day out with mates.

Not dreading tomorrow as much as Preston but not looking forward at all, it shouldn't bloody be like this especially after a stinking international break which I truly hate. It's as simple as this for me, 3 games for Mowbray to save his job. 0 points and he simply HAS to go. 3 points he's skating on extremely thin ice still. 4 just about acceptable. Anything more than that I'd be both delighted but amazed. As bobbins as Bell is, hope people don't start dishing out abuse/boos it's just pointless. If they score first and early tomorrow I think it could end up embarrassing.

In fairness a lot of pro Mowbray folk are changing. I like him and the job he's done is decent, however, he's coming across as an irrational pensioner lately so perhaps it's time he claimed it.

I'm talking in the past few weeks so not sure what you're on about with needing dropping at the time, what time?

I was a bit surprised too, but logically, if you were a joiner and your boss got a plumber to do your job you'd be extremely miffed, that's kinda the position he's in.

Erm Chaddy, that's exactly my point. Where are his people skills as well, I'm told from a decent source he's also had a massive row with Nyambe so he probably won't even play despite our defence being on its arse.

I can see things turning very, very sour at this game and Mowbray Out will be the theme. At the minute its impossible to imagine a positive result, if we get a pasting, again, to that lot then pretty much our entire following will feel enough is enough and we need a change.

I'm not on about players going on holiday Chaddy, I'm talking about the pally approach of Mowbray which seemingly certain players take advantage of. Morale is one thing, being a soft touch is another.

We need a modern day Souness or Roy Keane tbh, the holiday camp needs closing and we need to start firing a few rockets up incompetent backsides.

Martin Olsson is still a free agent ain't he? Not amazing but still a Bell upgrade
