  1. We have learned that Mowbray mistakes are costing us at least 12 points a season from his 2.3 seasons in the Championship with us. No way will we get a team good enough to overcome that inherent handicap. Wake me up when Mowbray is gone.
  2. Championship has some of the most biased referees in Europe: Use this link to see what has happened to referee bias and home advantage in the era of no fans: https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2020/07/25/empty-stadiums-have-shrunk-football-teams-home-advantage?utm_campaign=coronavirus-special-edition&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_source=salesforce-marketing-cloud&utm_term=2020-07-25&utm_content=article-link-7
  3. One of those defeats which feels even worse the next day. We owe Charlton fans a big apology.
  4. Have to fancy Swansea against Brentford now. But for Parker as boss, Fulham should have walked the league. They will be better than Cardiff but Cardiff found the guts when we didn't.
  5. We finished 20 points off automatic promotion and 7 points off the play-offs. We are a lot closer to relegation than the Premier League. With this squad of players over 46 games, that is managerial failure, Plain and simple.
  6. W17 D12 L17 Zero progress Rubbish resumption Players good enough for top 6, Mowbray isn't.
  7. Mowbray determined to lose this one. Bennett on and keeping Johnson on.
  8. I'd use all 5 subs starting with 3 at half time. I'd replace Johnson, Johnson and Johnson. Luton got the measure of this outfit.
  9. Tykes praying we score a 4th at Luton. If it goes in the Luton net, Barnsley stay up as things stand.
  10. Johnson has had an absolute mare that half. Walton could certainly have stopped Carter's og if he were an athlete.
  11. Usual garbage getting in and no sound. Guys, this is NOT difficult to get right.
  12. This is crazy. A game when he could be forgiven for experimentation, Mowbray throws on the most attacking XI he can with all players having obvious roles to play. Luton because of Wigan might be tempted to play it cagey for a draw.
  13. Reckon it will be 4-6 to us this evening. or 0-0 to the 89th minute...
  14. Seriously, we need a damned good keeper and I would push the boat out on that signing. One Greg Cunningham type signing or another season of Tosin and I think we are ok based on Carter's performance yesterday.
  15. Prior to Derby we were in a strong position to secure a play off place and what has followed has been utterly mediocre leavened by beating a Bristol City side that had lost its way, a very good win at Cardiff and nearly screwing up against Reading. We have leaked goals for fun. Mowbray mistakes are always going to cost us at least ten points a season so unless the Raos (and FFP is scrapped) are going to fund a squad good enough to get 90+ points, Premier League is impossible under Mowbray. The Academy is yielding results. Time to say thank you Tony and let Damien Johnson finish the job.
  16. Broke my voodoo by Rovers winning at Cardiff. We lost at home to.Luton in a Mowbray horror show when selection tactics subs and motivation were all wrong to.set up this absolute must win game ... For Luton. I fancy us to win this and get close to the 5 Reading scored at Kenilworth Road. Luton are a very limited side and even with injuries we probably have two complete elevens who could beat them. I would like to see yesterday's starting team with Buckley in place of Johnson. I fancy Luton tactics will be to keep it tight and profit from the inevitable Rovers mistakes. Total dig in if Luton get ahead. If we score first we will get lots of chances to add to the lead.
  17. Charlton equaliser and Luton winner put Wigan back in the mangle. That game home to Fulham could turn into a blood bath.
  18. Hayden Carter- only one misplaced pass all game. His distribution looked at least as good as Tosin and you cannot say higher than that. Great debut. Walton is the problem for me. All three goals for Reading were stoppable but he doesn't inspire and that is a contributing factor for defensive mess ups. Yet again Rankin-Costello looks immensely promising all over the park. Holtby and Rothwell both had great games. Liked the look of all the subs and good to see Brereton and Gallagher on the score sheet. If we have funds, a proper keeper and a proper manager please, Luton's late winner going to make Wednesday fun. Mowbray has to keep true to Armstrong Rothwell and Holtby who will relish running at a nervous defence. Chapman and Vale definitely deserve much more game time. Would be tempted to start Buckley ahead of johnson. Travis again outstanding.
  19. Wigan goal difference is miles better. So they need to do no worse than the other clubs on Wednesday.
  20. Walton hopeless for their goal. Ref pretty useless. Carter has had a very good first half. We look pretty slick sweeping forward. Here's hoping we kick on second half.
  21. Wigan still pretty safe despite 12 point deduction and 96th minute Charlton equaliser. Going to be a wild Wednesday night. Brentford only needed a draw to have it in their own hands- now Baggies are back in the driving seat.
