Slightly unrelated but how do we feel about Hendry these days. I've not forgiven him from the Kean days

I really liked this post. first of all to compare my hate for Kean and dislike for Mowbray is not even close. I hate Kean and can never forgive his or others at the time influence on our club. My distain for Mowbray is like the similar i felt for our over clinging on league one players (Bennet, Mulgrew, Smallwood) we should no longer have them, however as soon as they left the club my anger subsided. The obvious extra anger we all have is we feel Mowbray is part of a circle jerk club where they all feel untouchable. I feel Mowbray should go but to say it's Kean level of hated is either being dramatic or short term memory. If Mowbray mentions an imaginary dog or claims he was spiked i'll reopen this conversation. -

At least if Adam goes we've got Ben to stick around and build the team round. *Looks at how long BB has left on his contact* 😶

That Squad worries me, i'm also really worried if we rely on triggering extensions to keep Nyambe, RC & Rothwell as it would trigger to me they want to move on! As you mentioned 7/8 decent signings needed. Even if we get 10-15m on Armstrong and nearly goes to Newcastle i don't know how fill those gaps... probably another 5 loan signings. I know mowbray mentioned freebies and upcoming league one signings but buy league one and that's where we'll end up!

jesus someone must have been asleep for one of them

I want us to win every game and nothing will ever change that so I'm all for another 12 points. However i hope the small chance of a good end of season doesn't stop the need for a change of management. It would worry me all like the day Steve Kean managed to steal a few decent final results and keep us up against Wolves and he was given a clean slate prior to the season of doom.

Bloody spelling Replace not with now. Mowbray needs to go.

The season has been a weird one and a huge disappointment. There is one game that defined our season was Bristol City Away. To paint a picture our form into that game was P16 W7 D4 L 5 GF 31 GA 19. PPG was 1.56 Our defence wasn’t great but we always pressed from the front and Armstrong was on fire 14 goals from 15 games. We were only 6 points from top spot and had showed great fight against Brentford away a few days earlier. I remember that game Armstrong took a huge amount of chances looking more desperate as he shot on sight and the late winner shot our confidence and derailed us. Since then Armstrong has scored 7 in 20 our form since has been P25 W 5 D 7 L 13 GF 21 GA 28 PPG 0.88. our goals conceded per game has stayed stable but the goals dried up. This isn’t a post against Armstrong by the way but our reliance on him. I also found after that game our forwards slowly became more selfish (the free flowing upfront passing between our forwards) and possession became much more backwards (that actually started vs Barnsley 4 games earlier) I actually found the start of the season so exciting to watch but things changed where we seems obsessed by stats opposed to football. It’s a shame but it’s now time for a change. I’m just hoping we stay up…

I'd say 4 points keeps us safe. Our goal difference helps. I really hope we beat Derby so I can relax. Ridiculous we are in this position.

I think we all want mowbray out but I want to stay in the championship more

Surely it's time Mowbray is Crucified for this, no rising from the dead on this one.

No idea. Attacking Midfielder.

Not sure if it was mentioned but BBC live feed said we are after Anthony Gordon from Everton.

Surely a team us not going to let us have a 6th loan knowing we can only have 5 in a squad. Unless we are sending Tom back to Norwich.

What? Was class when he came on today

Reality is we are going to struggle to do much better then this at this stage of the season. Was criminal not to sign another CB last summer.

Unfortunately, despite being very pleased initially with our summer business you are somewhat correct. Good: The Belgium. Elliott -although only a loan. Dolan - although having Elliott is actually hindering his development. Okay: Downing - not really involved yet few decent cameos, depends on how much we are paying him. Trybull- certainly wouldn't sign him but a slight upgrade on Evans. Bad: Ayala- maybe okay if he was ever fit. Imagine he's on a fair wage. Was always the risk and the risk meant we should have signed a 2nd CH. Douglas- on paper looked a great signing. He just doesn't look like he's motivated to play for us. Pears- would be the last player on our team likely to catch Covid. Unknown: The Greek- looked okay but must not be any good if butter fingers is ahead of him.

It would be like the opposite to when we used to play Samba as a striker in the big Sam days. I actually agree with you, Gally is not a great attacker but what often gets him in the team sheet is his defensive Workrate.

Agreed, we would all prefer if we win and play well. We played much better last 2 games and got 0 points. Today we played rubbish and got 3. Today felt like the home game against Barnsley last year when Tony nearly walked. I think a loss today would have been a tipping point. Instead he lives another day, with a string of fixtures I'd mark as being achievable to get points. In which I mean we are mainly playing bottom half teams.

It's almost uncool to congratulate TM but he certainly deserved it today. He managed that 2nd half very well. I believe his thinking of Buckley at RB was he'd be similar to JRC in that position and out of the 4 we had at the back at the time could offer the long pass out. However his instant reaction to tactics following Brentford's final subs decided our game.

I'm going to play devils advocate but that graph says very little. If you take more shots your expected goals will naturally be higher. In fact it was interesting to see T. Dolan doesn't take many shots but usually they are expected to score. I'd rather see a graph of expected goals Vs goals scored. That said Armstrong is vital to us and he gets himself in places to be able to score

Yea I initially assumed Douglas coming off was tactical and to protect us against a card happy Ref. On Wharton I'm gutted, I assume it's a season ender or is it less? Either way he's waited years and this was his breakthrough. I hope he gets another chance when he's back

Never felt so satisfied to earn a point. Well done!

Get Scotty back on Saturday...

I Kind of see the game being the opposite to Saturday but equally the same. I picture more the Nottingham Forrest/ Cardiff game. I don't see Milwall coming with the High press but i worry for the counter. Pressing hard will be key for us.
