Don't understand the hate for Mowbray. He is a bit old school and I can't see him doing a West Brom again. His only major error with us was thinking he could attract better players than we could afford and putting his mate in charge of recruitment. Has had a very solid managerial record and has always played attractive attacking football. Usually his second half slumps means he is not a top manager, but has done ok at every club he has been at. Middlesborough and Blackburn let him go because they did not get promoted. He jumped ship here because we were seriously underfunded and our best players left for clubs higher up the football ladder.
Block 3 has gone and 2/1 only have 5 seats left. Clearly loads looking to sit near the away fans and unable to buy in Singers
Blackburn didn't get promoted last season as they only won something like 3 out of the last 18 games. The normal Mowbray finish to the season.Don't understand the hate for Mowbray.

Not sure it will get that high. Looks a lot less sold behind the goal than against WBA and for that game block 24 was sold out too. WBA also brought an extra 1.5K than Sunderland are and the crowd was 22,519.Only a few hundred sold today. Looking 22-23000 though so that’s great
To be fair the squad wasn't that good, a few outstanding young players but lacking all over the pitchHe failed to get one of the most exciting squads League One had ever seen promoted by making bat shit decisions like playing Armstrong on the wing and singing Stephen Hunt. he then fucked up the recruitment in the summer and resigned after 10 games because he knew he'd fucked it up. Absolute wanker.
Ah ok I thought sales looked quite good in the two blocks behind the goal but I’m sure you’re right. Maybe 21-22000 thenNot sure it will get that high.

DowieYeah I’ve got no issue with Mowbray, probably one of my favourite non-Robins Sisu era managers.

Dowie
Coleman
Boothroyd
Thorn
Pressley
Mowbray
Slade
In that list I can see why, though Pressley in particular was royally screwed over. Ultimately shown just to be a pretty poor manager, but he put a huge amount into the job.
He lost the plot during that 15/16 season. Not helped by the Maddison sale sucking the optimism out of the fans and the fact Maddison couldn’t be arsed after his transfer. Still that team should have been at the very least in the play offs. Fleck, Maddison, Armstrong, Murphy etc.
I like him as a man but how the hell did he fail to get us promoted with that side? Absolutely criminal.Don't understand the hate for Mowbray.

… as well as missing out on the playoffs.I like him as a man but how the hell did he fail to get us promoted with that side? Absolutely criminal.
Selling Vincelot so that he could bring in Jordan Turnbull was (predictably) a daft decision too.His man management was terrible, and loaning out Jim O'Brien was stupid. He was one of out most aggressive players and had a massive influence on games. I felt we were pretty soft after he went.
The next season is better not spoken about.
My god, that's really clutching that is mateView attachment 28509
Although considering who he manages now his comments about JH have aged brilliantly
Payday for loads of people tomorrow, watch it shoot up
Isn't payday last day or month, not Friday in Feb?
Snap. I think so anyways.My payday tomorrow.
Hope it is mine!
Shity early kick off, and being live on Sky won't help the attendance.Only a few hundred sold today. Looking 22-23000 though so that’s great

Remember saying at the time that J’OB flattered to deceive.
For all his running around (like a headless chicken) and launching into tackles he was mediocre at best.
But we all love a player that runs around for the cause.
That hid his lack of football intelligence and it most have been highly frustrating for any manager when he went charging off out of position only to be caught by an opposition that exploited the space where J’OB should have been.
You just couldn’t rely on him to stay in the position he was supposed to play and he cost us some very annoying goals.

Yeah I’ve got no issue with Mowbray, probably one of my favourite non-Robins Sisu era managers.
Still vividly remember that Gillingham home game where Jacob Murphy got a hat-trick in like 10 minutes.
Thought there was no stopping us at that point of the season.
Think I personally preferred Pressley to Mowbray for that era though
Our own fans were saying they couldn't see where we get 5 more wins to avoid relegation from just 3 games ago
