Horrible watch so far outside the 2 goals, how we weren't in contention is disgraceful really 3 poor teams and a decent Sheff united.

Other than the first five minutes we’ve looked better than we have for a while.

We actually look like we have a clue going forward today, should be 1 up at least.

Like the idea of Mason, seems like a good 'coach' in the McKenna mould and with something to prove.

Thanks for confirming, good to see the lads are making a decent living,even if not with us.

We do seem to do very well at producing league 1/2 level players.

Kane Wilson played against us for Derby yesterday one of ours, was tipped for big things but never materialised but had a good game against us.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe Nestor has some stake in the club alongside Patel which may make it harder to shift him?

It was a direct quote from E&S reporters at the game from their post match video and you could tell they were shocked at Mowbray's candour.

Obviously the truth will out. From what I have seen across the last 180 minutes of football forgetting the less than brilliant performances before the players concerned do not deserve a shred of respect or to be shielded in anyway from the truth. If that makes things difficult for the club or the player well tough neither deserves better.

Gathering a bit of steam on twitter from journos in attendance and also an article on the BBC basically saying the players are taking the urine.

Might be a blessing in disguise Mowbray throwing some of them under the bus on his way out, we might finally force the club into a full clear out of some of these of 'poor character'

Miron Muslic at Plymouth? Worked absolute wonders, puts up with no nonsense, and have heard rumours of a break clause at the end of the season.

Impressed me since he came in for them, wouldn't mind him.

« on: April 18, 2025, 11:14:28 PM »

Mowatt only works in a three where can take the ball off the centre halfs and keep possession and not have to worry about doing any running or defending. He will never work in a 2 as he can't run so he looks even worse.

If he gets rid of Mowbray over the weekend then I know they mean business.

Massive test for them now, do they admit they made a mistake or do they double down?

Disgusting performance from this absolute bunch of losers.

Manager has to go and take anyone over 28 with him, we need some legs in this team and people who haven't already shown they are incapable of sustaining performance over a season.

Yes, I have and thanks to Gaz for writing it all up.

The appointment of Mowbray was a elongated joke imo and ultimately relied upon a good medical results.

His 10 year model which found Kompany (one season in the championship of those 10) as the best and Mowbray third, whilst the likes of Cooper and Edwards didn't make the top 3 simply doesn't make sense, as surely the likes of Wilder and Warnock would have been higher than him too, as he's had one promotion of the championship in nearly 20 years.

The player recruitment, of Cole especially, goes against everything he said about age and potential.

He says the right things like we belong in the premier league but, he isn't doing anything that the likes of fake Albion have been doing for years, other than appointing a mediocre manager in his big first major appointment.

It's all great pr but, it needs to be backed up with great decisions and most importantly results and I pray and hope that is what happens as quickly as possible.

Thats the one thing that stuck out to me, we've got all this fancy data driven scouting and someone signed off on Devante effin Cole.

« on: April 12, 2025, 10:40:23 PM »

Mowbray didn't fancy him when he first came in, bombed him out they had an argument and he's been back in the team since its very strange.

He's not the worst offender but he's just not good enough as a footballer, doesn't create enough, doesn't score enough but 'works' hard. Need to get rid and bring some genuine pace in.

Think Grant must of read what I wrote a few days ago, I thought he was fantastic today best game all season for him today.

Just watched the highlights, great layoff to Grant that starts the second goal something we've been missing since Maja's injury.

Worked hard, should of had a hat trick but had more chances and impacted the game more than Armstrong, he was occupying the centre halves giving the wingers more space to work.

Has to be him or Dike rest of the season.

I'm just really happy with how many chances we actually created today, we should of had 5!

Fellows absolutely superb today along with Karlan Grant, I've slated Grant in the past for his lack of effecting the game but he was great today. Lankshear worked his knackers off and linked up play well when he wasn't on his backside and should of had 2.

Must start Lankshear or Dike for rest of the season, we're set up to play off a link up man and Armstrong can't do that.

Idiot Molumby. Not a red but still

If he doesn't scream in the players face after he stays on the pitch, that won't get recinded now because of that. Barely a yellow let alone a red.

Thought Dike and Bany did enough to start Tuesday night for me, Dike really put himself about and if that cross was half an inch lower he'd of powered it in the back of the net. Bany had a few nice passes and was really eager for the ball, would like to see him get more minutes.

Weird that
How much did we pay ?
Then Brighton make a very serious inquiry multiplying our profit in a very short space of time…he’s ok to play for Ireland (because they don’t lose on an investment) but can’t play for us …

First I'm hearing of this Brighton link and an apparent 6mil release clause but makes sense, he does look a step above but surely he'd want to play until the end of the season.
