The bottom 3 really have kept Wolves up haven't they? Crazy thing is Ipswich spent a fortune too.

Is there really any hope for anyone being promoted now?

Nixon story is Everton still keen on Fellows. Not an incoming one.

Like I said a few months ago if they offer 10m take it and run!

That 3rd save gets better and better the more you watch it!

But I do agree I'd rather Griffiths in and even if he makes mistakes I'd rather he learn from them but looks like we're stuck with JW for the rest of this season

Drop him for next game please
Offers nothing and flatters to deceive
Hes overated from what ive seen so far

This is exactly what Saints fans said. They never rated him even after banging all those goals in last season, which I always thought was odd well now we know why.

Been a while! I was very pleased with the Leeds, QPR Burnley games, was going to comment after the Burnley but didn't wanna jinx this game lol

Weird game really yes you could go on about the line up etc but we should have been at least 2 up before Hull scored and in the end Wildsmith made up for his 3 errors in previous games and we were fortunate to leave with 1 point.

TM clearly still doesn't know his best team so hopefully the 2 week break we can finally get some consistency in the 11

Tough run of fixtures coming up, 3 points really were needed but we're going to have to do it the hard way!

It's a poor poor league. Anyone with half a clue can make the play offs.

Sadly with TM in charge that can be us ruled out then!

Another brilliant result for our brilliant former manager.

Knew the Barca results wouldn't affect them! Go on CC!!

I am just glad we lost him abroad would have been ever more gut wrenching watching him keep Soton or someone up while we have to suffer Mowbray ball

I understand the financial arguement, it just irks me when people pretend we've had an amazing transfer window when we've sold our first choice keeper.

Right!!!!

I am not convinced by this new regime at all. Spent a month farting about with a new manager and then went with the most underwhelming appointment ever and now selling our best player for peanuts...

West Bromwich Albion FC / Re: Tony Mowbray appointed as Head Coach

« on: February 17, 2025, 02:15:30 PM »

It's been a few weeks and unfortunately my mind hasn't changed. We were very lucky against Wednesday as his poor in game management almost cost us that game again. Less said about Blackburn the better but his interviews are frankly embarrassing constantly talking about how we're the best team in the division and couldn't fathom why the Milwall a lesser team then us were pushing for winner and the best team (us) weren't...

If TM didn't manage us how many people would be on board with the appointment? He is a championship dinosaur, had soooo many jobs and not got promoted once after 2008 and that season was vastly overrated we won more games, scored more goals, had more points and conceded less goals with RDM in 2009/10!

Woeful appointment the fact he only had lower end offers tells it own story to give him 2.5 years is a massive mistake when we'll sack him come October when we're sat 15th...

People calling my comments embarrassing is laughable. Today was probably the worst in game management I have seen since Pardew days and from a so called experienced manager too, how is that not embarrassing?

Sky summed it up the only offers he had were lower end championship teams he probably couldn't believe his luck we approached him and gave him 2.5 years!

Look I'd love to be proven wrong but I said from the beginning he is a mid table manager. Had he not managed us before I doubt half the people who were on board for the appointment would have been.

End of season interim would have been absolutely fine but the club will not move forward under TM

I have not seen anything to suggest me otherwise, even last week had Pompey scored the first goal that game would have gone a lot different

I'm not going to bang on this horse so I'll probably leave this forum for a few weeks or even months as I will probably be too negative, again though absolutely hope I am proven wrong!

Nothing like giving him a chance is there?

It's as though you were waiting for a chance to post this

Been saying since before he got announced. Didnt post last week because knew people would have a go at me calling 5 1 a fluke win.

Today was absolutely pathetic management

Said it from the start nothing but a mid table manager. Awful in game management and starting 11 got carried away with a fluke win last week

Took off our best outlet

He'll be gone end of season

Woeful appointment

Correct, both Real Madrid and Sevilla scored in stoppage time (well, it wasn't going to be the Barca game was it  )

I prefer watching La Liga even La Liga 2 to the Prem to be honest, take away the big 2 (3 if you include At Madrid) and its much of a muchness with the rest.

I did watch a lot of Madrid back when Ronaldo was in his prime during my Uni days ever since he left I basically stopped watching that league, I didn't even follow Ronaldo to start watching Serie A so was bizarre phase lol

I did watch Bundesliga though when ITV had highlights and still occasionally watch live games but other than I watch Prem and Championship (even then I only watch Albion games for Champo)

Brentford allegedly considering a £15m move for our Tom.
Although the Brentford fan I know reckons this would be more likely happen in the summer, as they're looking for a replacement for Mbeumo who will likely be off.

If we fail to get promoted, I think a bid of around that amount might move the needle sadly. Hate to see the lad go. Heres hoping we can solidify our place in the play-offs, because I would back us to win them with Mowbray pulling the strings and surely we'd be able to keep him then.

Given they spent 16m on Lewis Potter, 15m is very fair. He's a decent player but 15m is bite your hand off money

For someone that is homesick being away from London surprised he's going abroad.

Didn't help him we sacked Bilic so soon but thanks for everything Grady and good luck if he does leave before Saturday.
