  1. This hatred people have of Rothwell is baffling. Holtby was invisible, bar a 15 minute spell, yesterday. That's unacceptable yet nobody is calling him out. Rothwell put Gallagher clean through for his miss. He was also instrumental in the build up play to the disallowed goal (how that was disallowed, but Travis was mugged for theirs is another matter). He's not a fantastic player, but people gloss over the good stuff he does because they've made their mind up about him.
  2. You get the best out of Armstrong by playing him upfront. If you're playing 4-4-2 (revolutionary in 20/20) then he's upfront with Dack. Could work. I think he's much less effective playing as one of the wide forwards in a 3, but he can play there. We'll be lucky to keep hold of Dack, Lenihan, Nyambe and Travis in the transfer window. It won't have gone unnoticed that they're by far our best players and I wouldn't at all be surprised if the Venky's demand some book balancing after the Gallagher / Brereton debacle. Either way, Mowbray isn't the man for the job.
  3. If I'm Nyambe or Travis' agent I'm angling for a move away. They both have a lot of potential and could play for more ambitious clubs.
  4. What the hell did Holtby do to garner praise? An absolute passenger today.
  5. God, I hate Leeds / modern day football. Bunch of divers.
  6. Judging by this performance, most of them are finished.
  7. His transfer fee is a sunk cost at this point. You're just trying to get him off the wage bill.
  8. Completely disappeared as an attacking force as soon as Rothwell went off. Funny that.
  9. His end product in the final third is poor, but he's a fabulous RB at this level. He's asked to boss the entire right flank on his own every week. If he was the finished product he wouldn't be playing for us - but Mowbray does him no favours asking him to play as a WB in a back 4.
  10. I feel so sorry for Nyambe. He's asked to do far too much.
  11. Well as he didn't touch Bamford and the ball was played into the path of the covering Tosin - it's never a red? Unless you're talking about the card Bamford should have got for his blatant dive, but I think they only hand out yellows for that.
  12. Why hasn't he booked Bamford for diving there?
  13. Mowbray's tactics rely too heavily on his fullbacks being absolute worldies. I think that whenever I see Nyambe marauding forward.
  14. The last team I watched us play in this league that I thought "woof, they're bloody good" was Sheffield Utd. Everyone else is absolutely attainable with some shrewd signings and tactics.
  15. I'm nervous every time the opposition attacks with Walton in goal. He's been a nightmare since the league restarted.
  16. I'm glad we don't own him - that's about the best thing I can say about Walton.
  17. Jermaine Beckford (I think that's who the co-commentator is) complaining about the freekick for the Armstrong goal. The bare-faced cheek of it.
  18. As my dad said this week - at least we're a football club again. I credit Mowbray for that. Granted, we're a shit Championship football club.
  19. He only gave Nyambe and Travis a chance due to a crippling injury crisis. They're two of our best players (and actually pretty decent). He won't play Davenport unless he's forced to.
  20. Take Holtby off, he's been anonymous.
  21. With Rothwell you HAVE to play him centrally and give him a run of games. Asking him to stick wide left and create something just isn't his game - he was playing in L1 for a reason. Of course, that would mean Mowbray and his coaching staff would need to develop a player, which isn't their MO. That said, doesn't help when you have such a shit strikeforce to pass the ball to.
  22. Lol, that foul on Travis gets worse every time they replay it.
  23. Yeah, that's a blatant foul on Travis for their first goal. I hate to harp on about refs - but Brereton sent off for a petulant kick last week. Travis getting mugged this week. Their right back lunging in studs up this week and only getting a yellow. The refs really are shit at this level.
  24. He's proven time and again during his time at Rovers that he isn't the honourable bloke he purports to be. He's not walking away from 2 years of cash.
