    You really think they are plotting some underhand scheme to force out Mowbray by sabotaging the team?

    Get what you’re saying mate. My concern is that Barnes wouldn’t come out and say this unless he was told. Then begs the question, who told him this info and why? It’s come from one side of the argument clearly, and my bet is on Mowbrays side. Just my opinion tho mate.

    Yeah i agree and id like to think im def not a drama queen lol

    Said to my dad last week i had concerns with some of TMs comments and that was before our season really kicked off

    Hopefully its nothing at all n sorts itself quickly

    Get an experienced striker in and everyone will be happy

    Sorry mate. Tone has been negative as hell since may. It's continued this season. If you're choosing to ignore what he is saying to the press then that's on you.

    The bloke who they could sack at any time they liked and replace with whoever they wanted?

    I can hear what Mowbray's saying perfectly well but we all interpret things differently.

    Getting abit sick of this now. I like Speakman and his vision but he needs to be flexible and it feels like there’s always something brewing in the background with him

    If Jobes chance had gone in on Sunday and the lottery of a penalty shootout tonight had gone the other way I wonder if we'd all be analysing Mowbrays behaviour in press conferences as much...

    Imo they wanted rid of him in the summer. When they appointed him they never expected us to be such a success then were put on the back foot as the fans were rebelling at the rumours.

    If he continues the negativity then very quickly he’ll make it impossible to keep him. Moyes’ miserable face has him on the edge of sack at West Ham again. TM has to accept the squad he’s given and do his best, if the players aren’t up to it then that lands on Speakman and recruitment team, not on TM.

    Just back home and not sure what to make of it all. Narrow margins but on tonight’s performances I would be happy if Ba doesn’t get near the 1st team any time soon

    Barnes’ comments aren’t to be disregarded, honestly. He’s said it because he’s been told to say it - big concern.

    Would you keep TM over Speakman?

    We changed the entire team for tonight, but its Speakman's fault.

    On Saturday posters were asking for Bennette to be given a shot up front. Tonight that happens and it's Speakmans fault.

    No wonder TM is unhappy if he can't even pick the side.

    I feel like I've stepped back into a different forum recently

    It was more to do with a manager getting shafted and paying the price.

    I have said , the model is the way but it has to flex. Otherwise every manager is going to lose their cool with it.

    I will say what I always say about Speakman. Which is that I love what his vision has done for our club so far but that I find him really difficult personally (obviously not met in person - just from what he says and his interviews). I was really hoping in Mowbray we'd found someone who'd bought into him but if we haven't I worry.
