What worries me is how long Tm is going to persevere with this shit before he changes?
Got a bit of pressley deja vu here, and hate to say it I really do but yeah Tm might have been dealt a shit handish?
But it's fuckin him who is still picks the team and the formation

He needs to go back to the drawing board and go with four at the back, I know it's old fashioned but maybe try 442 and stop playing Sordell wider

Long range effort by Stevenson deflected wide but always going over anyway

Bigi takes another corner but they're always going away from goal. He shouldn't be taking them from both sides

Any manager is on a hiding to nothing as long as SISU own the club.

No ambition + no investment = no success

Funny how the last managers have relied on young youth team players?
Don't believe that is Mobrays way.
Sisu don't want to invest so we can get Alex Ferguson in and nothing will change.

SISU fuck up the club in every way but continue court actions, negativity follows us around like a bad smell, money is likely held back for cash flow purposes over the summer, manager struggles to bring anyone in and certainly not his first choices, Player central to last years team leaves just before the season starts, manager complains and hints it's a problem attracting players to SISU's basket case of a club, last minute business done for two more youngsters and hey presto we're down the bottom of League 1.

Mowbray et al have done nothing wrong then?

We have spent 400k on one player which over 75% of League 1 clubs haven't the privilege to.

We have money and we have spent it.

Sorry but the manager has to take some flack as well.

Didn't SP say something about them having on of the biggest budgets when he went there. Think they have a rich owner who's happy to chuck money in.

Pretty much.

Mowbray will have a competitive budget and certainly a bigger one than Rosler/Pressley got.

Oh the old chestnut about fergie not making a difference. Rubbish.

How are managers in our league with less resources beating us?

No midweek game now, will give Mowbray a chance to work with the new players on the training ground and get them playing the way he wants.

Of course its not mowbrays fault....he only chooses the players, coaches for players, picks the formation / system picks the team and decides the substitutions.

I've tried to make the point that the team isn't good enough, but have been shot down many times. Not trying to bore everyone, but the expectations need to be lowered otherwise people are going to get upset.

Mowbray's had a lot to prove in my opinion after last years capitulation, and the transfer window activity has been bizzare. I know SISU aren't bankrolling him billions, but he's had enough to assemble a good squad.

Poor decision making, poor acquisition of targets, soft team with no aggression, unable to adapt to changes. I could go on. The window has shut now, so there really isn't an excuse.

The pressure for a win is growing with every week now.

They have a big budget with respect to the size of there club because of an owner who puts money into the club. I'd guess it's about the same budget as ours.

Firstly we don't know what that fee was at all but................... secondly apart from winding Nick up I do agree, I think Mowbray has been gash since last Christmas !
