    Did he just get a free kick for running into Ba’s elbow? Sky were showing goal of the season again so I have no idea

    No.

    It's **** management. Leicester have even poor and we have failed to jump on them across so many opportunities. Silly line up, worse ever subs. Fuming.

    I think ultimately you can't go a full season without playing a striker regularly and expect to do well.

    We've got to get someone scoring. If that means going two up front at the expense of a bit of tippy tappy then so be it.

    This squad is made for a 4-4-2 IMHO.

    But then he plays Burstow ahead of them at every opportunity. What's he seeing from him in training? It's hard to say because we've seen so little of them thanks to Mowbray but I feel like I've seen more from both Rusyn and Hemir when they get a brief cameo.

    Damm right. If he left tonight it would make zero difference to this team.

    His actually managerial , tactical no how is a joke.

    Fuming.

    I dunno. But Mowbray isn't not playing them because he wants the sack as has been suggested by one or two :D

    Nothing wrong with the starting line up, we played well - agree about the subs

    We have played well today, sloppy goal n lack of composure in the final 3rd.

    Completely disagree with you on this even if I'm as frustrated as you.

    He's been tactically great for us very often.

    But we don’t have one on the bench either mate. Neither of the lads on the bench have scored for us. Neither has Burstow. Three strikers, no goals. All very well wanting a striker on, but we need a goals order on. And we have them on the field

    Aye definitely not. I do wonder if he's trying to make a point about not being backed satisfactorily though and is cutting off his nose to spite his face. No easy task in his case <laugh>

    No. I don't think for one second that Mowbray is doing anything that isn't him trying to win football games. He won't always be right. But I'm not questioning the guys' integrity.

    We're relying on worldies and Jack Clarke being a superstar most of the time though. We could do with someone scoring scruffy goals. The strikers on the bench haven't had a chance to prove themselves yet.
