    Good luck to him. Surprised he took the job given his family situation and desire to live at home....

    Big job on his hands, they seem to be a bit of a shambles

    They were doing ok until they appointed Rooney, then it fell apart

    I think he'll do well after the Rooney ****-show, good manager. All the best Mogga lad.

    Once you lose momentum, it's hard to regain it. Mowbray will have to work miracles if he's going to get Brum in the play off mix

    Agree with that, it will be interesting to see how he gets on

    Well he did try that when we had Keane as manager :) something like "We will see who is higher at the end of the season"

    Oh aye, they'll beat us at St.Andrews, but in general he's got a tough job

    Not really got the squad at Birmingham to play the football we did at our best under him so will be interesting to see how he adapts. One of Rooneys big problems apparently was the insistence on playing out from the back with a goalkeeper and defenders who just couldn't do it and that is how Mowbray likes to play.

    I hope so, don't want them barging their way back into the play-offs

    I agree with the support he is getting , a decent man and coach , mixed feelings at the time of his departure, and too early to judge whether it was the right thing to do, or not. After 4 games its not looking good tbh. only time and decision making by the triomikes will tell.

    4 games, 7 points

    What part of that isn't looking good?

    Its a mad strategy, unless you have the players to play that way , neither club has imo.

    We definitely do. Not against PL teams that was stupid, but against championship teams we have shown time and time again that we can.
