    Since lockdown was lifted in May

    ..... Rovers had 9 remaining games.
    They won 3 lost 5 drew 1.
    Since the start of the season they have won 3 lost 5 and drawn 1.

    In the previous 18 football matches Rovers have managed to lose 10 of them.
    Its embarrassing, its bloody awful and there really are no excuses anymore.

    He isnt just going to have to leave due to his sides pathetic start to this season. He has been failing now for 6 months. And it's not even showing any signs of improving.

    Right now its going backwards. Another few few weeks and defeats and the season oz over before its begun.

    Thats alot of money invested to see us head nowhere but backwards. It's also unfair on the owners who are doing right by him.

    He isnt a bad person, or taking the piss. He has just reached the end of his journey with us. We are not really in much of a different position since he arrived. In a real financial mess off the pitch. And poor on it.

    As results are showing. And they dont lie.

    10 defeats in 18 football matches is simply not good enough.

    You are preaching to the converted. Dont think you`ll ever convert aucks into believing he should be potted though, as thats just the way he is.

    I'm not sure if Aucks is a huge fan of Mowbray either way. He will support whoever is in charge. What Aucks will say is there is nothing to show that anything will improve long term just because a new manager comes in.

    Me, I always felt this season was going to be a struggle & relegation fight. Because the rot set in last season they fell apart so badly. Since May they have shown relegation form. This isnt a knee jerk. This isnt something new.

    I'd be happy with someone like Eddie Howe. And if they do it after they lose to Boro they will have enough time to try pull back the season that's fallen apart. Just a good job they have played the 3 worst sides in the division. And play in the same league as Wycombe & Sheff Wed who are both down already.

    No disrespect to Aucks and many other TM fans but he HAS been failing for too long. He has to go but the club must learn from its mistakes and appoint a proper, modern manager.

    Seventwo - Champs has nailed my opinion. To me, all too often, you get change for change's sake. (Look at Lambert!).

    As for "...the club must learn from its mistakes and appoint a proper, modern manager...", I just don't know what it means.
    Like Bilic?
    Miracle-worker one season; no league-wins at all for WBA in 2020.

    Was Bilic named a a miracle worker?
    I was under the impression WBA had the 2nd biggest budget in the league, and had been in the play offs the season before. losing to Villa in the semi finals.
    Bilic spent a fortune and they finished 2 places higher last season and gained automatic promotion.
    Spending more money than all the other sides put together and finishing 2 places high would not mean he was a miracle worker.
    Where they odds on fav's to go up? Yes. Did they go up? Yes.
    The fact they went half a season without winning a game and they still went up tells me this was a pathetically poor division standard wise.
    You will of course tell me a side who went up but failed to win a game in 6 months shows how great division is.
    Miracle worker? Not one person I know said that.
    Failure now? No, not really I fully expected WBA to head straight back down.
    But nobody can make a prediction in football, they will always be wrong.

    I will tell you now, WBA will go down.
    Wycombe will go down. Sheff Wed will go down.
    There's 3 predictions that I will bet my life will come true at the end of the season. See, its not that hard.
