Because he's the only fit 'striker' (Beavon says he isn't one, and Thomas has been turned into a midfielder or winger).

Yet he played most of the game in the middle of midfield

Yep new position midfield striker. Its the position where you wave your arms around a lot, whilst the game passes you by.
But the manager thinks you are enthusiastic and good example to the young players. Oh and you talk a good game in training.

We must stop playing him, I would rather put another midfield player in the team than play him, any other player in the squad would be better

Exactly, why indeed .
Last season Mowbray said that this season he would only be a bit part player .
So what's changed this season to warrant Tudgay playing regularly ?

The real question to be asked is why the clueless fuckwit Mowbray and his able sidekick Venus gave him a new deal in the first place.

His legs have gone. He must love this place. We've paid him for years for doing very little.
He was deep a lot today - and was terrible.

So to clarify, you hold Tony Mowbray responsible for us being 8 points adrift of safety in League One tonight?

From memory they wanted him and Ricketts to provide older, more experienced heads in the dressing room.
They should have invited Nicholas Parsons in, really.....

I think he needs to shoulder a huge portion of blame - yes.
I suspect one of the consequences of being owned by sisu is that they pretty much handed over total responsibility to Mowbray and Venus regarding player deals
A normal board would have some input.
Consider his dealings.
Ricketts and Tudgay - players whose legs had clearly gone - new deals.
Turnbull - most boards would have retained Martin. Not Mowbray - let's sign a flimsy inexperienced version on a 3 year deal
Jones - lets pay a fee for a player whose not good enough
Bigi - hey mate you were crap last season so let's give you a contract
Ghadzev - lol I forgot he even existed until he lumbered on the pitch today
Reid - utter shite. A terrible signing.
Mowbray and Venus were a disaster.

I guess the plan Mowbray had, considering the deal Tudgay was given, was to play him intermittently - as and when required. Slade, however, has decided to grant Tudgay a regular spot in the starting 11. Slade has also decided to play hoofball with two average/small height players up front, of whom neither are strikers or target men.
Slade is quite clearly out of his depth at this rotten apple core of a club; what the hell he's thinking, tactically, is beyond me completely. Of course, I don't attend games due to living so far away from Coventry, but I have attended away games closer to home, but it's plain to see in the posts of so many broken supporters that this manager is doing NOTHING to stop the drop. Metaphorically, he's knifing the parachute strings.
Slade is ultimately responsible for this team, and his selections and tactics have, thus far, been laughable. Mowbray tried to get quality players in during the summer, I believe, but he missed out - at least he tried? He wanted the best players available to make a decent push, but it basically went tits and bollocks up.
Mowbray, in my eyes, left too soon and bottled it big time. Now, however, I believe he's not responsible for this team's position. Who do we blame? Obvious, isn't it?

Fair comments with regard to the players named above. The problem with Mowbray was that he felt shafted by SISU when they made to the decision to sell Maddison in the January transfer window last year and did not reinvest in the playing squad. It gave him and what was at the time a talented playing squad a clear message that our owners are just not interested in building a team capable of competing at the top end of League One. He got a reduced budget in the summer and yes made some mistakes but I think it was all over for him at this time last year. Mowbray represented a real and possibly last opportunity for this club and SISU failed to take it.

Mowbray must have known it was going to be tough to bring anybody in so kept this useless piece of shit. When they said he was coaching the strikers I could only think that it was how not to get in the box and how not to finish.
He was there today waving his arms around, if his legs moved as fast as his arms he would be like Bolt, when I saw his name on the team sheet today I nearly didn't bother going.

I remember many fans desperate to give Tudgay a new contract due to him having ONE decent game against Burton Albion.We should have therefore offered Marc Antoine Fortune a new contract then based on his appearance against Shrewsbury Town...I saw that Fortune did something today that Tudgay can only dream about: find the back of the fucking net!
