So being 9th is right on parr with our budget.
If has the summer to build his own squad and is backed like he has been this season ie.....
If he gets another budget reportedly 8th-6th in this division.
If by Xmas we are not 6th-8th or above I would have to concede to the Mowbray out mob
Bingo.....
We are league one. Every club is the same and they.are all out witting us.
If he's a great manager we wouldn't have this losing streak, he would address it.
A great manager would adjust the system to the players and opposition
Ok so we have a lower budget than all the teams who have found us out and beat us.I don't believe we have a bigger budget unless it's being spent on a couple of players.
The whole club structure behind the team is stagnant.
Sisu are rotten to the core and we are stuck with them.
He said this would happen, but didn't do anything to prevent it.
At Middlesbrough I was top of the table two times on the bounce on New Years Day and missed out on the play-offs.
It's not the managers it's the owners.
More interest off the field than on the field.
No chance, it's not acceptable.That's what worries me. If he keeps his job and we're top next Xmas what then?
That was after we beat Gills and went top.
How have you worked that out? Mowbray only agreed to take the job when he got what he wanted. He has a decent budget and, along with Venus, total control of the football side. Can you honestly say with the players he has at his disposal you would expect the form we have had for the last few months?
Is that really how low you set your expectations?
So a place higher than last season after where we were at Christmas is acceptable?so you thought we'd go from just staying up last season to winning the league, I think it's your expectations that need looking at
So the first four months of this season were scotch mist?so you thought we'd go from just staying up last season to winning the league, I think it's your expectations that need looking at

He predicted it would go downhill but didn't do anything about it.And he he said don't get carried away, and we did, we had turner and reda for those first four months, we were never going to replace them, we were always going to struggle with no back four, id have taken 9th the start of the season and build on it next season.

Yes, we'd have all gladly taken 9th at the start of the season but not (and quite rightly) at the start of this year. By the way - we won't be finishing anywhere near 9th!And he he said don't get carried away, and we did, we had turner and reda for those first four months, we were never going to replace them, we were always going to struggle with no back four, id have taken 9th the start of the season and build on it next season.

The form and the games we are losing isn't acceptable

So you really think all of our problems lie with our admittedly decimated back four? Not concerned with Tono's selection, decision making (or lack of it) during a game or general relationship with the squad?
It is if he signed them, the captain hasn't been taken out of our team?Of course they do..take the captain out of any side and they'd struggle, look at all the daft goals we've given away, how many have been from corners or balls just pumped into the box. If players can't do the basics it's not mowbrays fault,

If we give daft goals from corners then work on it in training...
you can work on it in training all you want....look at the first Peterborough goal...centre half goes wandering and fortune decides to go awol...if reda was playing that isn't a goal..you can tell mowbrays just as pissed off as we are, don't make the best manager we've had in years leave, give him time. He's taken us from relegation battlers to nearly play offs, let him build on what he's started this season
The same Johnson who gets injured every season? You plan for it.
How many other games have we lost?
We are a league one club, thankfully we play in league one with other league one clubs who have smaller budgets. Some of which have recently given us a lesson in how to win a game and see it out.wer'e a league one club with no money playing in a ground we don't own, not exactly going to attract the players we need are we...so all the people saying Mowbray should be sacked what should he have done then ?
Completely agree. 4 wins and 19 points in 21 games in the second half of the season is not progress not to mention 9 losses in our last 13 games. Like you say had we been around this position all season it would have been progress, Had we started the season poor then improved like Barnsley, it would have been progress.If we'd been hovering around this position all season you could sensibly say that it's an improvement on last year, but when you have the few months we did and then the form since Christmas it's an alarming slump and there's no real way to sugar coat that.

Had a plan b and plan c. For when the main system didn't work.so what should Mowbray have done then....?

Mowbrays a great manager expected to work with average kids (if they are good they are sold), journey men and loanees.
Jones needs to be bought now before someone steps in.

How is that different to the likes of Burton, Walsall, Gillingham et al who all get less crowds than us and on lower budgets?
