13th in league?

Mowbray is a failure like parkinson and grayson should never have been given this position. No thought to AN replacement and just another cheap failure lucky to have the chance of managing this club. The momentum is lost and heading toward a relegation fight with him here. He will be gone before the seasons over.

Probably where I thought we'd be tbh. Some got far too carried away with talk of top 6. We've done alright in general, but games against Watford, Swansea, Norwich, Sheffield United and yesterday, yes we've had good spells in them, but when those sides have turned it up a notch they have looked a level above us. We've had good results against some and matches them for spells, but their quality at times was too much for us. We're a young side and some good players, but we're not there just yet. Consolidation this season and improve next. That was always the case for me and think some got a bit ahead of themselves. Ballard, Alese, Roberts, Stewart in particular, massive misses for us and probably 4 of our top 5 or 6 players. We need to get to international break still mid table and then with those back can hopefully have a good 2nd half to season. Anywhere between 9-12th is a very decent season imo.
 
Why sack Durban said:
We are comparing it to the worst sides in nearly 150 years history . Yesterday we pressed with superb intensity for 30 mins . For the rest of it we couldn’t get or keep the ball . We have no idea how to defend when it goes into our box . We will be better with Stewart but if this continues we will be in and around the relegation picture when he gets back

So I should just ignore the last six years? I always expected us to be in the bottom half of the league before a ball was kicjed because I didn't get carried away like some on here by saying we could get promoted etc. The club is building a team for the future by bedding in young players (some will get sold others will stay), it'll take a few years before we see the best of them, however the club is on the right track IMO..

And you think I am negative when we WIN?

You think being negative makes me feel better? I have never felt so crestfallen and horrible in all my life. I felt sick to the pit of my stomach. You just stamped all over how I felt at FT. Nice one. Well done for that. Now do you think I feel better? Now do you want to be me? I don't want to be me when we lose. It should be you that I ought to feel sorry for.

Asky yourself why I am negative when we lose and positive when we win and then come back to me.

A bit OTT mate. The efforts of 11 blokes you don't know running about a field should not impact your state of mind to that extent.

One win in last 8 and 4 points off relegation which is occupied by 3 teams expected to get playoffs.

Confidence is slipping and other sides are starting to get into their stride.

We wouldn't be the first side to go into a season full of confidence after promotion and start well before slipping off and Mowbray seems to have bit of Bruce about him with winless runs and no way to stop them.

Need a win at asap to stop the rot from yesterday.

Team won play off ? Lost manager ? Young lads developing? Competing ? Calm the fuk down. We're playing footy the right way.

Getting our bellies tickled twice in 5 days isn't 'playing the right way'.

We've won 1 in 7, that against a poor Wigan who we came up with, and are only 4 points above relegation. Stop pretending everything's rosy.

No it’s not. Are you over the moon when we loose? Do you go home with a smile on your face? I don’t. I’m well used to us losing but not quite like that. Not in that manner. I could take it better if we had gone in at the break 4-0 and scored two goals. But we did what no other team could do. Go from 2 up to 2 down.

Stop it. Leave me alone. Please. I am asking nicely. Which is rare for me.

He won 4 of his last 22 at Blackburn

The fact that we didn’t have a striker yesterday hurt us massively in the second half IMO.

Aye, we scored two but the fact that we had no one in their half to hold the ball up and buy us some time (Clarke has a decent set of skills but hold up play isn’t one of them) meant that when we were getting pummelled we had no out ball. Cos of that it was just one way traffic.

If we had a centre forward I reckon it would have at least given us a fighting chance as we’d have kept hold of the ball a bit more instead of basically being on the ropes for the first twenty minutes of the second half.

I agree that Mowbray has questions to answer about not changing it in the second but not having a striker definitely affected us yesterday, like.

The amount of headers Stewart wins when defending their set plays is massive too. Don't really have many 6 footers.
