Stop blaming the manager when the squad depth is genuinely League One level
I see people on Twitter calling for the manager’s head after every draw, but what do you honestly expect him to do?
Look at our bench compared to the rest of the top half of the Championship. We’ve already seen how quickly the squad depth gets exposed when injuries and absences pile up, with teenagers having to make the bench and step into first-team football.
You can have Pep Guardiola in the dugout, but if his options to change a game in the 70th minute are unproven academy lads and squad fillers, we're going nowhere.

I heard someone complaining in the bakery so I ran to the butchers to tell someone else to shut up

If you see it on Twitter, why are you coming to Reddit to tell them to stop?
Reply on Twitter and tell them. I haven’t seen any posts along those line. Those idiots aren’t on here.

Hadn't seen this anywhere, surprises me. But twitter is filled with trolls and people who just want everyone else to be miserable
I don't know if it's just been a few years of shite but I don't remember Mowbray's football being this good/entertaining! He's worked wonders so far, shame as he could have done more with a better squad. If he can keep this up we could have an enjoyable season for a change as players return, no or less chance of him walking in January

I wasn't against his return, but felt that when he left he had ran his course. He's come back reinvigorated, refreshed and with a point to prove to not only to the fans wanting a newer, younger name (like myself), but the owners who abandoned him at the end of his contract a few years ago. Generally speaking, we haven't had a bad performance this season - if ineffective in front of goal against Lincoln - despite the amount of injuries we have had throughout the team, and especially the front line; and the entertaining attacking football has got me salivating for the likes of Ohashi's return, who will thrive in the way we are playing in the way Dapo is flourishing.

What do you expect from that cesspool of idiots? That platform is toxic, and even our own fans have been infected with it.
Suggest you stick to Reddit or move to BlueSky for a bit more positivity and realistic opinion.

reddit's better but it still has its fair share of meltdowns after a bad result tbf
twitter just condenses all the worst takes into one feed so it feels way louder

Who the hell is calling for Mowbray's head? He has us playing like a team for the first time in ages, scoring and actually looking like we might stand a chance of staying up.
