Saw an article with Mick Rathbone last week, he was quoted as saying Brereton has the potential be top top player, having worked with him previously. We have no chance of going up this season in my opinion, so I'm not concerned how Mowbrays sees Brereton role right now as long as he's ready for next season. But I do worry the Venky hand has been involved with this one.

It's amazing what a season of success can do arbitro, it's like the past 8/9yrs didn't happen on occasions posting on here. The Brereton deal and subsequent bench warming is extremely strange, Mowbray doesn't think he's ready clearly. But as I said yesterday it's all very Venkyesq and reminds us all that they're still very much in charge at the club and we're only ever a bad decision away from disaster.

You slagged off Mowbray and his backroom staff, this after 1 promotion, a superb home record, club stability, the best team spirit since Hughes was here and a £20m pound midfielder on the books, it's absolute bunkum, lazy even. Mowbray has worked wonders in his time here so far, he took WBA out of this league as champions, so to say he's not got it is wide of the mark. He may well fail here, who knows, but the fans that go to games are enjoying the experience again, I certainly am, and that is on no all part down to Mowbray, the players he's assembled and his backroom staff.

Absolutly nothing to support that sweeping statement Mercer. Results and transfer dealings have been good since Mowbray arrived, we've seen vast improvements on the playing side, club stability excellent. We lost to Bpools main rivals, bad day at the office, nothing more and we move on.

To be fair you've been saying he's not the man for us since the early part of last season. I take all your points onboard, but give the guy a chance, he knows how to rebuild a side and get out of this league, we're lucky to have him.

Everyone's dissapointed with today's result, but claiming this is Mowbrays limit is knee jerk at best. If you look at the current side, it's nowhere near good enough to go up, we need 2/3 solid performers with a bit of quality thrown in and far more experience at this level. The Bereton signing is very much Venkyesq, seems bonkers, doesn't make sense, but he's here and could well turn out to be a fantastic signing, or we've been had AGAIN, time will tell. The problem with sections of this site is most think we're going up every season, a few wins and some are booking hotels for Wembley, when in reality we're a season or 2 away from getting to that level if we keep progressing and the more considered posters realise that. We're having a good season, getting better on and off the pitch, so keep the faith, we are streets ahead of where we've been in recent times.

Most people would have played Brereton, I get it, but that wouldn't have made the blindest bit of difference because the entire side had a shocker.

The managers doing a great job, take a look at the league man. Today was awful, all over the park as I've already said, trying reading what people post instead of trying to break the posting record.

Yes, because the manger picked him.

Injuries the reason for team selection today and clearly Brereton isn't ready, regardless of what fans on here think. Mowbray knows his players better than we do, but you'd hope has some regrets about starting like he did today...

Thankfully we're having a good season so far, which points towards him having not done much wrong. Dissapointing to lose, but we move on.

Did you watch that today? Team selection or not, the players were absolutly awful today, worst I've seen in a longtime, so they deserved hammering.

Nonsense blueboy. Coyle talked shite, King Rat was a master, but Mowbray is honest, and I'd hope he'll come and and say that today was absolute garbage.

Awful performances all over the park, but not helped by Mowbrays team selection, injury concerns the reason by all accounts, but still not good enough. The players involved need to have a long hard look at themselves tonight, awful. This side is a good 12 months away from challenging for a play off spot at least. The manager needs to try different players and formations, but not when 5000 fans are in the away end. Have a word with yourself Mowbray.

The color is awful, the main font looks like it was designed on an Atari in 1979, but a part from that is good to go..... Appreciate the effort but it looks awful, if it's not broke don't fix it a wise man once said...

I think it was away to Rotherham in a league cup game, he scored from the halfway line if memory serves me correctly?

You couldn't spot a decent manager if one bit you on the arse Mercer. 2 Words - Owen Coyle.....

Absolutly Blueboy. They sold Cairney from under him also and Rhodes twice..... Bowyers tenure for the most part was a bright period during very dark times.

Apparently not all the 1000'ish are actually missing, many have been traced through social media and were never missing in the first place.....thankfully. It just seems so amateurish.

Not like you to miss the point Vinjay......

God and Mother Nature aside, why is the response as poor as burnleys assault on the Europa league? Theyre the biggest super power on the planet FFS? USA not the dongles....

I seem to recall Johnrose scoring a half volley from the half way line away at Rotherham in the league cup? 87,88 maybe? I wish him well, despite his pro burnley/anti Rovers nonsense a few years back....

I was in LA a few weeks ago, Brentwood to be exact, and the only concern for Californians was the relentless traffic that plagues the city, even the elections seemed of little concern, and fires the last thing on anyone's mind. Today we find the town of 'paradise' burnt to the ground. Over a 1000 people unaccounted for across the state with 71 confirmed dead. Trump blamed the forestry commission for the disaster, apparently they'd failed to look after the brush, but had taken millions of $$$$ to do so, but the wise money is on climate change as the cause for this terrible disaster. My main point really centres around the missing 1000+ people? How can the biggest super power in the world first of all not be able to deal with all the fires, and secondly not know how many people are dead or missing? The US just don't seem to be able to deal with disasters, it was the same after the New Orleans hurricane, parts of the city are still inhabitable years after the disaster. Many hold them up as the leaders of the free world, but they can't deal with domestic natural disasters? Why?

You get him told Dreams, I agree by the way, Leeds used to be successful, but that was a long time ago. If it's based on success, we should get more, because we've been more successful since Tv's went color.

YES
