Hating? I think I have been fair. Know I know why you didn't react to my post and I replied to you before. Ok. You win. Well done mate. We will done 12. My example anyway. And I don't think that will be progression. And he will be fired.
Neither Clarke, Ba or Neil could hit the target when they really should've ... ... and how did Jobe make such a mess of a simple header ffs. Yes we need a striker scoring goals but these are all football players who'd have all scored in a training match.
Makes you wonder if Mowbray wanted an experienced striker, was given 3 young uns instead, so is trying to prove a point.
We played well but 0 points. That is what ultimately matters. Never mind. Mowbray will be under pressure soon IMO.
We pushed them all the way, we played proper football, had a right go, didn't park the bus and showed what we can do. The goal we conceded is annoying as hell l, bit we kept going to the end. I'd really like to see Ruysn get some more minutes though
Massive money. He’s better now than Henderson was when we sold him. I hope he’s one who just says “nope. I’m staying I love it here”. I just don’t think there’s a better CM in this division. I saw nothing from Winks which tells me he’s better. I’m very positive tonight. We played a team who spent £30m in the summer to top up their majority premier league squad. Saying we could have been beaten by a few, but conveniently forget that we had as many, if not more, chances than they did. They’re “stonewall penalty”. Yeah he went down in the box, but how come he suddenly lost all of the strength he had when Cirkin grabbed him 4 yards earlier? I also fancy Patterson would’ve saved it the night he had!!
Poor few days for Mowbray for me like, starting 11 against Stoke was strange and didn’t work. The subs tonight were bizarre. I do think we looked far better tonight, Ekwah and Neil are so important to us. Think it’s time to give jobe a rest, good start to his time here but struggled lately so I’d take him out for a couple of games. Big problem with the striker position because I don’t think burstow deserves another start for now, he’s had plenty of chances and not delivering but who comes in? I’d rather burstow than no striker. Happy to see the injured lads coming back in, they improve us no doubt, Saturdays important, need to put an end to this run and get back on track
Aye not the most enjoyable game for a few reasons but we can be proud of the lads and it looks like we've turned the corner that we needed to. Great to have Neil back he's improved us massively. Imagine that same game but without him holding the midfield together. Actually don't it's not a pleasant thought.
Ah yes. But Ba wasn’t playing as a striker? So you wanted Rusyn, a striker, to come on to play on the left wing just because we’re getting one chance in that position?
I said it on Saturday and I will reiterate it now, I think we should look at moving on from Mowbray. I'm fine if he stays till the end of the season but I think I would take the risk of changing to someone now who could be our head coach for the next 5 years over staying with Mowbray until the end of the season. I like Tony, he did a great job last season I just think his steadying the ship role is over and it's time to move up a level.
Oh come on, he knows better than most it's a results business and he carries the can if results don't improve. What would it achieve losing games ton"prove a point"
Just have to remember we went through a bad spell last season, and, as a squad, we were worse off at the time. We more than turned it around then. So a bit of patience is needed.
Well. Frustrating result as we created enough chances to score. Our inexperience and lack of natural striker definitely cost us however I've greatly encouraged by the 2nd half performance Still got issues with O'Nien and how much he is costing us. 3 defeats in a row and 3 different types of defeat. More to be annoyed about on Sat than tonight Stroud is a prick though
We played well tonight but you CANT keep playing without a striker. he buckled and played his go to striker that’s done absolutely **** all since being here. Yeah people will say Ahmed wasn’t great etc but he’s had chance after chance and I’m not even sure the lads had a shot yet or made the keeper work? Surely it’s going to be effecting the other lads that have came in, the fact he’d rather play a midfielder in there position! and throwing hemir on for 2 minutes is an absolute piss take on the kid.
How did 09 cost us tonight? Last time I looked it was Jobe who forgot to jump tonight and at the weekend it was Ekwah

It was a strange game tonight. We held our own and played the better football for large parts of the game, but if Patterson didn't have one of his best ever games for us, they could have scored 3 or 4. It felt a bit like Ipswich at the start of the season. We played nicer stuff, but they had clear chances in the area and look more clinical. We did miss some good chances tonight, but it never really feels like we have a striker 10 yards out with most of the goal to aim at, which is the kind of opportunity that other teams seem to get against us.
Not saying hes trying to lose games. Im saying hes trying to win games but without using our young strikers, to prove a point.
