Mowbray today blaming......the other team having 10 men and us missing Gallagher up front? I think the worst thing that could have happened was the sending off. They sit on a line of five and nullify the space really. It’s not like we’ve got Gallagher to put near Armstrong and get balls in the box, so it’s a frustrating balance to get.

Benson Out

I’ll reserve judgement on if the manager should leave till I can mark the content of his presser because that’s what counts

We’ll nick a winner but it’s crap yet again

Had the luck so far today I didn’t even realise they’d hit the bar early on

What a finish from Brereton

Well we often start decently before fading after 15 so hopefully we are just doing the reverse today

Big Bad Branthwaite always looks on the brink of conceding a penalty so that’s a worry but we should have enough to get past these

Is it legal to be working in excess of 70 hours a week? Has the EWTD gone out of the window now we’ve left?

It’s noticeable that since this last interview people connected to the club, journalists, ex players, employees of the club etc have come out in force. Very odd that one stirring ‘independence day’ style speech can change everything

The charm offensive has worked, a few weeks of throwing young players under the bus, blaming fans for made up injuries, outright lying and losing 5 on the bounce but now after an interview he’s back to being an honest hardworking man who needs time. Win today and the Tony Tripometer fully resets

Didn’t he get sent off the season after at ewood? I was only young but recall he looked like he belonged on Brookside

https://t.co/UVv9VIOnYJ Infuriating stuff, basically Stevey makes every excuse under the sun for Tony, poor Tony he’s had it tough. Confirmation that he’s here until he sees fit to leave

That’s a shop window piece I would imagine, the timing makes that obvious. I’ve long thought he’ll end up at a Bournemouth or Brentford in summer but wish him all the best wherever he goes

Pathetic. When it’s all rosy he comes out with the platitudes to show how decent a man he is, how he’d walk away before becoming a burden. When pretty much all the fans are suggesting he is now a burden and he can’t hide from those comments it’s he’s only a burden if the owners say so.

It’s weird a few games back it felt like Rich Sharpe had turned and was as critical as he has been. Since the Nyambe incident and the interviews afterwards he’s been less critical of the manager, today there was an article about things we could change to get more success and not a mention of the manager. Wonder if he had a ticking off. Anyway looks like he’s now rode out the 5 game losing run and now will pick up a win against Coventry and the tripometer will reset

I really dislike the dumbing down. ”do you really expect us to be beating Watford?” Yes! If we had any real ambitions of promotion we certainly should be looking to beat them but there’s always an excuse with a section of the fanbase. 5 losses on the bounce to Preston, QPR, Barnsley, Forest and now Watford and each has been a limp performance. We have 2 schoolboys at the back who we don’t own but saw fit to bring in, both looking well out of their depth. A talented but erratic keeper now taking things into his own hands. The slowest left back in the league. Our main central defender ‘injured’ apparently. Our best defender dropped and then hung out to dry with a cock and bull story to turn it onto the fans. Our terrier in the middle looks more like a Bassett Hound and our playmaker bundle of energy looks jaded. A lump of a centre forward who’s main assets are wasted as he’s stuck out wide when he plays On top of that our captain for the last couple of days is a man who sees passing as a sign of weakness! We had some signs of life and a future in November but the whole stench around the place is one of neglect and rot. Time for change

The silence is deafening

He’ll pretend it’s close but we were never in that game from the opening goal Bemoan our luck, individual errors and his usual guff

3-2 the great escape is on

sad to watch Dack tonight he needs someone to play off, think he’d do well with Gallagher

If Nyambe played half as bad as the two lads in the middle Mowbray would be visibly excited at the prospect of bringing him off and blaming him

Douglas is getting slaughtered

Can’t listen to that guy

@Parsonbluewas spot on, what benefit are we getting from having these two cloggers on loan? Neither good enough for this league
