Has somebody told that Miller guy he’s good at long throws? Absolute waste of possession. We’ll not get one solitary goal from his throws this season. Dire.

That was a delicious ball in from Alebiosu - we have to start winning some bloody headers.

We are fucking dreadful.

Pickering has never let us down at LCB before to my memory. And has great experience at this level - something we sorely lack.

According to Sky, we're the worst team in the championship for scoring goals in the first 15mins.

Already starting where we left off with the pointless Miller throws.

Yeah but you're currently paying him - might as well use him.

well here we go,don`t forget we are still in a 15 year transition🙂

Above the wage threshold and being shunted towards the exit door.

fingers crossed

Unless Cantwell is faking injury (which I don't know if he he would as he seemed to be enjoying his stint at captain) I think he's genuinely injured.

Absolutely zero chance I'll buy their product now.

Pratt clearly wasn't considered good enough at the start of the season or he wouldn't have been shipped out to Chorley, so I'm not expecting anything from him. This is where (again) the really lazy transfer strategies begin to hurt, and I'm fully expecting to get a pasting. We have been absolutely outmanned every time we've played a physical team this season, and this will be the same. Preston 3-0 Rovers

They're both old school LBs - neither can really get up and down the wing (Ribeiro can do it more than Pickering, but he can't get back if he does) and I'd imagine they're both sub 5'10". Ismael clearly values height at CB. You could probably get away with Pickering or Ribeiro at LCB for a couple of games in a 3, but evidently he doesn't think they're up to it - or yes there's some silly clause that's going to be activated if they play more games. I still don't think Hedges let us down at LCB last game.

I hate these pissed-on toilet paper kits.

Cantwell clearly been put in dry storage to be flogged in January. What a depressing club we really are.

He must be heading out the door in January, wouldn't be surprised if Ribeiro does too even though we only renewed him in the summer. Ismael doesn't seem to rate either of them, at least in the 3-4-1-2 and they will be on decent wages.

He might Phil Jones it…👀🤞

he`s a smart tactician and was probably unlucky at sheff utd,they were underfunded when he took charge

There’s something going on with Pickering. He’s been effectively frozen out. Not the best player we’ve had, but is a shoe in here surely?

Can see us taking a thumping here the defence is no match for the pne side. Selling Hyam like we did was suicide

It’s probably not fashionable to say I actually rate heckinbottom as a champ manager

Ribeiro had played centre back before coming to us, I'm sure we've played Pickering left on a back three as well. VI just doesn't fancy them for some reason. There's no way Hedges is more suited to CB than they are.

At least he's put a centre back at centre back. The reluctance to start Picks as a LCB is quite strange though. Seems a no brainer. Montgomery starting is a big call as well. Still think we're getting a pasting, unfortunately.

Real sink or swim moment for Pratt tonight, big lad, good in the air, does have the odd lapse in concentration though, never seen him against anything like a Championship level forward lines so difficult to predict, especially with a makeshift back line/keeper alongside him
