The thing is it soon will be. Everyone's for sale.

Alebiousu again had an massive game... could had scored some goals from his crosses.

He set out to hurt Baradji with that challenge, no doubt.

Maybe they should play the home games in that beautiful gold kit too. They look at each other and think they're Brazil.

We now got a long break until wednesday night. We need 3 points at home against QPR.

Such a daft comment after the Indian series earlier this year, did you miss that series Tyrone?

Following Rovers away from home this season, Charlton apart, has been a real joy. We look solid at the back and swift in attack. I thought some of our football last night was a joy to watch. The interplay between Ohashi and Morishita really caused North End no amount of problems. Ohashi's workrate is unbelievable as was that of Tronstad and Hedges. These three players epitomise how Ismael wants to play and it's so enjoyable to watch. I thought young Pratt did ever so well on his debut and looked the part. Prior to the game I heard fans criticising his selection and saying what a state we are in when a kid has to play. Yet I remember other youngsters in the past being thrown in - England, Pickering, Metcalfe, Faz, Barker, Jones etc - and it proved the making of them. There is no point in having an Academy if these youngsters don't get a chance. Yes, they'll make mistakes but that's part of the learning process. The home form remains a conundrum, but if we can get that right we could have a more than decent season. This team is nowhere near as bad as some are making out.

I thought after a rough 25 minutes or so we took control of the game and were much the better side. We just played football and they didnt like it, they tried to kick us off the park and intimidate and bully us and it didn't work at all, we stood up to it very well. Morishita, Montgomery, Tronstad and Hedges were superb I thought. Full of energy, determination and a bit of quality at times too. Pratt deserves a special mention though, the lad was playing against Congleton Town 2 months ago and to come into a game like that for your professional debut and not look out of place or too shakes, I thought was brilliant. Need to sort that home form out now.

Pears is a below-average Championship keeper. Nothing more, nothing less. And that includes spells where he's been terrible or where he's been excellent (Nov-Dec 2024 under Eustace springs to mind) Can imagine the bean counters have been fuming that he's sitting on the bench on a decent-ish wage (if it wasn't for Toth's injury, I presume they were going to try to flog him off again in January. To be fair, now that Toth has supplanted him, they probably should try to reallocate the budget accordingly...), but could certainly do worse for a backup keeper.

100% they’ll drop off. They just don’t have the depth. Have a couple of quality players that’s about it. Good manager, don’t get me wrong, but squad wise, horrendous. I’m just glad we’ve finally put them in their place and just dominated them as we should.

Jim, that’s all they know. They can’t play any other way.

To lose in 2 days like that requires a special kind of uselessness. McCullum and Stokes have questions to answer about the approach to that game in view of England's poor preparation for the series and the players need to look at themselves and rein in the Bazball nonsense and play proper Test cricket, which means patience and playing each ball on its merits.

Only praising us because they know where they belong. As Sherwelood said they're riding in a false position. Everyone knows PNEs football isn't top 6 stuff. They'll drop soon enough, and with the points being close that top box will be playing switcheroo toward the end of the season.

Sounds like they bowled like it today. The idea was to bat all day today and give them a rest. As it was they’re back bowling again in no time.

Have a few mates from Preston and a colleague. Was lovely to give em a bit of stick today and rightly so.

We deffo need a back up for Alebiosu in the next window

Great night. Thoroughly enjoyed it, but it was really only an anaesthetic. Even in my joy, I played back some of Radio Lancs Sport on the computer.... and it pissed me off. What chance have we got! Bayes being all too gentle around the last minute transfer window departure of Dom Hyam and the concern about two injury prone centre halves, "Everybody makes mistakes" etc. Is this in the context of what happened to Elliot Jackson? Think "Quiet, piggie" and the BBC ....Then, Kevin Gallacher going on about "in hindsight".. F***** Hell! In risk assessment terms, the risk of that kamikaze decision was blindingly obvious and explicit. At the time, I was almost certain that both SW and HC would be injured again, probably at the same time and that the consequences were likely to be very serious for the future of the club.. I can't think of one supporter, who could not have foreseen that...

I thought we didnt want to be too open or gift them loads of chances in the first 30 mins hence why we didnt attack too much. After that we dominated the game and were deserved winners. Sherwood's comments about Rovers's performance were spot on. Still cant believe Whiteman got away with that clear red card Still buzzing about the win and performance. My PNE's supporting work colleagues were full of praise for our performance and slamming their own team's performance.

I’ve only seen the highlights so I can’t really comment on performances. I thought the header from Gudjohnsen was top notch, they are very easy to get wrong at that angle. The lad can finish, not much doubt about that. Gueye should have scored with his header, how can a big guy be so poor at heading the ball ? All in all a great win. I couldn’t see that coming at 8.00 pm with so many players being out for one reason or another. 100% effort from every player and that’s all I ever ask for from Rovers players. Has I’ve said before the players are playing for the manager so we might has well get behind him. The set piece coach is earning his corn, that’s good to see. Top marks for Miller playing after flying all over the world last week.

Well, this team continue to surprise me with their away form. Also couldn't be happier to be proven wrong on the set pieces comment I made on here yesterday. Two well worked goals off the training ground. It was definitely the right call to stay with a back 3, and Pratt seemed to cope ok given he was chucked in at the deep end. Maintaining this shape with injuries / suspensions with Rovers thin squad is going to be difficult. Delighted that Gudjohnsen bagged another, hopefully he can keep up a consistent run of scoring. Hopefully the lads can kick on and start turning that home form around now, starting with QPR on Wednesday.

At least our bowlers won’t be tired!

Playing with two up front helps.

He's doing the job he was designed for as back up to a better keeper at this level. If you want success in this league you need good back up in every key position but you have to pay the wages for it which this lot don't like doing. It would be crazy to get rid of him this season no way is that number 3 kid anywhere near ready.

Its all about opinions.. Perth was always going to be a bit of a 'shoot out' for me, we usually win those types of games. On to Gabba next, well done Aussies, we'll get you next time, I hope!

He needs to hold his bosses to account om the crowd thing they've killed the Blackburn End iv'e never seen it as empty for league games. Stupid targeted pricing policy designed to squeeze the most popular area for local adults. The ONLY way to boost rovers crowds is do what North End and Bolton did a few years ago with season tickets, price according to your local market not national statistics. By the way, when they had a big crowd and atmosphere last time out they flopped as did Preston last night so maybe just maybe it's really all down to the team management and recruitment.
