Ha ha ha Oggy chooses the subs, brilliant, heard it all now.

Stu I said this before and you won't believe it clearly. Sat right behind the dugout recently and heard the conversations and I can tell you Oggy was determining the substitutions with a simple nod of approval from TM. Sometimes in life you may think one way but if a guy holding a clipboard of tactics and making a good case can suggest you maybe try this, can be an influence that say TM may not have done otherwise.
Yes Oggy knows his stuff. So do many football managers yet they fall on their swords all too often. If you are going to manage make sure you make the decisions without being influenced...stick to your guns. Recently we have seen poor substitutions (Peterborough) that have been hard to understand from TM?
Not a bad write up, agree with some of the points and disagree with others.

That's a good summation. One area gives rise to my suggestion the other day...Who decides the substitutions or perhaps influences these decisions? Mowbray's ability to alter correctly games I suggest are influenced by none other than Oggy and invariably we get it wrong.
On the other hand sack oggy
Grendel you called for tm to ve sacked after the Colchester game
Bollocks. If true Mowbray should be sacked immediately. It's not true.
I said I think give him 4 weeks after that game didn't i? Can't remember but yes we should have sacked him and tried to re ignite the promotion challenge.
I don't believe Oggy picks subs though.
Coventry City - Why our season has gone wrong
Out of interest, how many other teams in this division play two defensive midfielders in their side?It is the way we play. Mowbray sets up 4 across the back 2 normally Vincelot & Fleck in front of the back line, one out and out striker and the other three behind him. Consequently we play most of the time in our half with little outlet forward wise it's no good, results prove it. Hate to talk Leicester different level I know but watch them they get crosses in all the time with 3/4 in the area to aim at, simple but productive tactic and defences hate it, we rarely put crosses in from open play and never get sufficient bodies in the box. Unless Tony Mowbray changes this tactic we will go nowhere in my opinion.

To be clear, you left the ColU game before the final whistle and stated "Mowbray out" which frankly doesn't square with your comments above.
