Tony Mowbray [threads merged]

Hibs might have looked good but did they win anything ?

He won the championship ? So what ? He tryed it with teams that we know we can beat in the epl and failed massively, straight back down

 

The championship is 1 of the hardest leagues to get out of!!! Like most smaller teams who come up, he wasnt given the money to strengthen adequately!!

Hibs are where they are now because of the foundations mowbray laid in his time there!! John Collins lifted the cup with moggas team!! That aside.....its * hibs!!!!! what do u expect any team outside the old firm to win except for the once in a blue moon cup?!

 

who were the clowns who decided to change half of a team on a great run when we were trailing behind?? Who were the clowns who didnt take on board the bad effect of the gelling factor? IMO Mogga and Lawell wrote this season off before it began. We certainly could have won this league with the pre-window team. We were closing in and we were a better side then Rangers. Now its like early season all over again with players not knowing each other. Why the * would you chose to do that???? There was no need to change a team on a winning run so much. All the players out should have waited till the summer. We got shot of our CBs and our LB and guess what??? We have had problems filling those spots snce. BTW that Brafhied or whatever you call him is a shocking defender. Makes Naylor look like Maldini.

 

Defence has been throwing games away all season that's why people are gettin sick of Mowbray.

 

The manager after him won the cup with basically mowbray's team .
As for relegation sometimes a top manager cant even stop teams getting relegated, look at portsmouth .

Anyway i dont want to argue , i understand where your coming from and why your frustrated with him, but i'm gonna give him more time, and if the team not showing any signs of improvement then he can go

 

Fair enough mate

I never wanted him here in the first place, Knew he wouldnt be a success here, check back my posts to day he signed was never up for it !

 

Can we really blame mowbray for our sorry excuse of a defense.

In the summer Caldwell had just been voted player of the year so mowbray must have though he'd be half decent.

and then last month he did bring in a new face , and in typical celtic fashion he gets injured in his first game.

 

agree 100%

 

moan the hoops :icon_mrgreen:

 

we have a right to moan

 

I agree that it was probably wrong time for as big a clearout but mogga was in a lose/lose situation there...whats to say the "team on a great run" wouldnt have bottled it AGAIN just like last year?! If they did infact lose the league and mogga never brought in players then he would have been blamed for not bringing in players and handing league to the huns as well as bein a * manager bla bla bla. Now he is being slated because he has brought in players and its taking longer to get going (you have to admit that he has been very unlucky with defensive injuries and not been able to play same back 4 twice, which obviously isnt great). You are saying we got shot of our CBs....Caldwell was going anyway and cost us numerous games over the years, poor poor defender!! Mcmanus was equally as bad. Loving the bit bout naylor and maldini though

 

aye coz he got rid of first team players without replacing them. Also lesser teams way lesser defenders have shown that organization and comitment at the back is key to gettin a result. look at kilmarnock falkirk and the like this season. mowbray set his stall out tay attack and seems to have forgot that the defence wasny the greatest and needed work. He didny address this in two transfer windows, if anything made it worse, getting rid of two guys who were the heart of a defence that won 3 titles without having adequate and fit replacements

 

Fer * Sake Guy's!It's the middle of February and we now sit 7 points of the lead.Ok the Huns play tomorrow and I honestly cant see them getting anymore than a point against a very decent Hibs team,I say Judge the man come May!

 

What great winning run have we been on this season ?... We've never been on any kind of great run that I can think of... The management have to take blame for the whole transitional period (from a results point of view) as we've dropped points we certainly shouldn't have done in January and this month also.. Im not convinced they had an attitude of writing off this season because even with a depleted squad and players who don't know one another's game , we should still be challenging for the title.. Frankly we've just been *..

This might sound like an over reaction to one moment of stupidity but I think Braffheid is in serious danger of having fans turn on him for that handball.. You can accept a player taking one for the team to prevent a goal but not giving the opposition a lifeline in the manner he did.. Can't get my head around what he was thinking..

 

His problem is he only can play one style of footy attacking footy , he has never found the correct balance even at West Brom , after there shambles in the prem you would have thought he would have * learned but oh no he is too thick he needs to go and thats it anyone that thinks he can still turn it around and needs time and players do one ,

He said we missed Loovens ffs this guy is the biggest donkey we have in the side ,

 

Yeah but Mogga has made what was simple (we needed a couple of experienced CBs and a poacher into a reasonable sound team) and made it complicated by a weird revolving door where for every new player we lost our best player in the same position (Fox, Caldwell, Skippy). We also lost a life force and leader in Robson. I really cannot see why anyone sane would let him go for so little gain. IMO we got some decent players in but we were back to square one by letting some of our pre-window first picks/important players go. If the 'outs' had waited to the summer, we would have got the same money for most of the except Caldwell. We have IMO lost the only classic SPL spine and leadership we had in Caldwell-Robson-Skippy. We look like a team of mercenaries now and come the summer I do not think any of the loan boys will be here.

 

couldnt agree more and my view is also changing on the manager

I am just thinking why can every other team in this league get the basics right and we cant, i think our back line was weaker than any other defence in our league today, no joke if aberdeen have only scored 8 league goals at home all season in the league HOW THE * CAN THEY SCORE 4 AGAINST US>???
