I would too if they’d just handed me a 4-0 win

He may well be a nice bloke but he did leave us right in the shit with people like Jamie Sterry Andre Wright and Daniel fucking Agyei. Worst squad in living memory he cobbled together after thinking he could get proven championship players in league 1

Since the idiots in our fanbase have put him down continually he has achieved promotion and beat us twice
I don't like being proven right on this one. Start being nice and lets shed this karma!!!

It's not a fun experience watching Tony Mowbray sides v the city at home from memory.

Think there has was a 4-0 and 5-0 vs west Brom in 2008 at home, both games including red cards for us. He must fucking love playing the city away

Always easy to say things like that when you’ve had a good day-can’t really forgive him for the dumpster fire that was 2016

Always liked mogga... Don't blame him for our relegation at allwe had 36 games to stay up and had only lost 4 when he left... Moving on
Do kind of blame him for totally bombing the 2015/16 season too

Since February of that year to his departure we were in freefall and it’s telling that once promotion had gone we actually won a few games at the end of that season

Not sure, fans overlook the huge amount of injuries over the course of the season at the back( 7 I believe) ... Which meant we never had a settled back line... That cost us more, added to the fact Armstrong simply stopped scoring for large periods.. What can you do

Shame we had to play his team before the Christmas fall his teams can have

We failed to score at home to a doomed Colchester side that conceded nearly 100 goals that season-he totally lost the plot

It isn’t just CCFC where he has bombed after Christmas fella-can’t use ‘the striker stopped scoring’ as an excuse every time

We had 17 shots against colchester, whose fault is it we didn't score? Mowbray? Come on give me a logical argument or its a naff argument

We won one game in each of the months Jan feb and March - got pasted by rubbish like Southend then oddly won 3 of the last 4 games. Mowbray is a bit of a head down character when the going gets tough and the pressure is on. He always has been

Ok but look at the one example given... Colchester we lost 1 nil... 17 shots Zero on target, another Gillingham away 0-0 10 shots to their 5 ZERO on target.... How is Mowbray to take the blame for that?
The argument for me has always been injuries caused an unsettled defence and when your forwards stop scoring you're always in with a chance of losing by a goal... Look at the results

Teams had sussed us out just around New Year but he persisted with the same set up, couldn’t motivate players and made some famously bad signings to throw in to the mix. It was criminal not to at least make the playoffs from the position we were in and the buck stops with the manager for it

we picked 10 points up from 17 games after beating Crewe 5 nil

The bad form really began end of November 2015, we won once from that Gillingham game (21st Nov) until the end of the year

Teams in league 1 didn't find us out at all... We were playing good stuff mostly but couldn't score, we lost by a goal many times that season...
Adam Armstrong couldn't hit a barn door for long periods... Always lauded by supporters
We couldn't score despite dominating and having more shots than the opponents... Count the goals, then count the 1 goal defeats

Seems like a Top bloke. And a good manager. Nothing bad to say about him personally.
Shame he couldn't remember who we tonked that season 6 nil...it was Bury not Barnsley.

And who did he sign to alleviate it but over the hill MAF and Stephen Hunt

Where was the money? You already know that though we had none left
7 defeats from the 12 from December were by a single goal BTW

He bombed like he did before and after

Well that's not true at all because he took Blackburn up
Finished 15th, then 11th in the championship
They are the leagues top scorers right now too and he looks to have assembled a good side

BTW, we also failed to score in 10 games after December... Despite having more shots etc than many of our opponents... Blame Mowbray sure, but not always that simple
I'm still going to stick with, too many injuries at the back and our top scorers simply going off the boil.... This actually makes more sense than just.... Mogga bad

You can stick with it but the rot persisted in to the following season with more shit recruitment and he walked soon after as he knew he’d fucked up

He does have a history of it, the Boro fans said they just capitulated in the new year with no explanation from the manager
Evo1883

I can stick with it after watching every single game that season home and away and I'm telling you it wasn't a manager capitulation, rather than players not taking chances after having for example 19 shots at home to Fleetwood and losing 2-1... And the impact several inhuries at the back to players like reda, Cargill, Turner all hampered us getting a settled back line shouldn't be just ignored... Unless you can talk about what you think went wrong rather than just throw a cliche at me like "teams sussed us out" I don't understand your logic.... There are reasons for not winning... Having a combined 46 shots against colchester Gillingham and Fleetwood, that's 20 more shots than the opposition in the 3 games combined and picking up 1 point for example scoring 1 goal
Armstrong went 12 games from the 6 nil Bury without being able to hit a barn door...
Jacob Murphy 13 matches

Well it seems now you’re blaming an unsettled defence for troubles in front of goal.
