Sadly

[Saxo1man41]

What I don't quite understand, Despair, is why so many people had such a violent reaction to Mowbray's appointment in the first place.
I thought he was a bit of a safety-first choice, but given the randomness of some of the previous selections, that was understandable.
As it turns out, he has been better than I expected.
There seem to be some posters on the Telegraph who WANT him to fail - because failure will prove them correct. THAT I will never find acceptable.

I have a very basic view on football aucks. Players perform and its their shirt to lose. There should have been no changes to the team today..

Mowbray has come out and said he feels at fault today because he didn't make ENOUGH changes.

I can't agree with that at all, and fear history is about to repeat itself, whereby another of his teams fall away second half of the season, as has been the case under him at middlesboro and Coventry.

But you're just guessing - on the back of one game. If we beat Oldham 4-0 next week, it won't be just because of the manager! I don't get this business of drawing wide conclusions, based on one performance.
If we had fielded the same team, and still lost 2-0, what would you have put the result down to then? You must be able to see there is no one simple answer to these things! Kilmarnock beating Celtic today - explain that in simple terms!
And are you seriously saying that this one game makes it inevitable we are going "fall away" in the rest of the season? Equally as daft as saying our 18-match run proved we were never going to lose again!
