    Tony Mowbray

    I question TMs apparent 'honesty' when interviewed.

    He recently told fans it'd be some time before Rodwell would be a fixture in the championship, but was a used sub last time out and today starts against Bolton..

    This alongside telling us players would be back from injury, when not in the past(Dack, Mulgrew)

    I'm not sure why he does it, but its a bit annoying!

    To balance that up, he's changed the team fairly radically for today. Most comments I'm reading from fans are very happy, and it may well have been required, with things perhaps gone a bit stale judging by the display against sheff utd.

    For me, so many changes, esp in centre midfield, is a bit of a gamble. It could go either way. Let's hope it works out well!

    H/T we lead, but fortunately so. Not sure the change in defensive shield is working. The back 4 being got at far too easily. Maybe expect Evans or Smallwood or both to come on 2nd half.

    Well TM must have had similar thoughts to me at H/T.. I won't be expecting the Rodwell/Reed combo against Leeds!

    In the end, 2nd half, battened down the hatches and came away with 3 points from an uninspiring performance.

    Good enough.

    That's a bit unfair, Saxo. Compared to some of the flannel-artists and bullsh*t merchants who do the job, he's Mother Teresa and the Dalai Lama rolled into one. In fact, some fans complain he reveals too much.
    With Rodwell, I suspect he has come through faster than expected - which is very good news.
    I agree we have heard some confusing things on the injury-front, but perhaps that's because TM feels he has to keep supporters in the picture before the medical staff have actually come to final conclusions. Also, the rate of healing is so variable. Take Nyambe - it looks as if he won't be out as long as was first suggested.
