A great little tactic to head off the sack maybe. If in the unlikely event they did remove him it certainly wouldn't be until after the window.

Has been playing as the lone forward in a 4-2-3-1 for the past 2 months Was playing as part of a strike partnership in a 3-5-2 for the first part of the season under the previous manager

And Hemmings clan have issued another 5 million to pay their bills which might suggest they'll invest in Jan.

I think what you are describing is poor footballers. It makes their footballing skills unlikeable but not them as people. That’s just overly harsh.

Former Bolton player and…… If you know, you know.

He possibly should forgo managing all together. He seems to make the selections based on what wages and transfers. Cantwell could be player/captain/manager…think of the wages we’d save!

This is a league where Preston are 3rd, and we can't beat any of the worst teams in it.

I would be amazed if this team gets 51 points. Graham , Conway ,Lenihan and a younger Gallagher was more useful . The above 4 would walk into our team now . Bennett ,Evans probably too but not sure how many game they played ..

I was furious the first time it happen to DeNeve. The player is probably two levels above his abilities and 4 above his understanding of the game. I don’t care if he’s out of position tracking back and getting goal side is elementary school level understanding of the game. Taking the ball to the corner up one in the final minute of extra time should be understood by every professional footballer. Not him though. Continuing to select him over others is something worse. As the manager having a go at the player only highlights the fact that player was brought in and you continue to think he’s good enough to play.

Embarassing as expected. We look nailed on to be in League 1 next season. Manager is crap, admittedly he has a piss poor squad to pick from, although apparently was key in endorsing and getting these wastes of space. But picked the wrong team, made initial subs too late and seemingly with the last 2 subs felt obliged to make all 5. Few players deserve a special mention. De Neve would struggle in the Conference, right up there with the worst I have seen in the shirt, similar to Gueye who summed himself up with that offside at the end. Miller is absolute crap and probably gets away with it amidst the other shit around him. His idiocy led to the spell of pressure that led to the third. The whole defence is diabolical, McLoughlin should not be starting regularly, not very good. Tavares beside good work in the lead to the goal again was what he always is. Laxadasical, sloppy and with a token pitiful shot like he always does.

What part of this are you enjoying? the not good enough replacements? the seem to be even worse than last seasons not good enoughs? the inability to dominate a game and score a few? the last minute collapses? the key ones that are injured too much? the manager that seems to want to sabotage any time we are up? all in all, very unlikeable as I said

Didn't look anything great at first team level but had potential. His U21 form was excellent and to me, his lack of pace but guile suggested a Harry Kane-style slow but intelligent forward. Will be interesting to know how he is used at Posh, perhaps, with help of runners, and how he does.

It’s true DeNeve has been shockingly bad defensively…BUT you continue to select him you dolt. You have to drop a player that routinely makes the same costly mistakes, not elevate them to the starting XI!

Ismael offered to forgo transfer money in order to fix the pitch (stupid idiot). Maybe he would forgo his redundancy package if he understands the importance.

Darragh MaxAnthony doesn’t usually get transfers wrong, when we upped the price and he didn’t flinch then people should have taken more notice

Well , must be some other reason cos he is a vast improvement De Neve ! They want him out !

Singling out a player, especially one playing out of position when you have other options is piss poor management. No surprises there. A few more losses and they should be looking to pot him. That will be more expensive than fixing the pitch.

On this exact day in 2016 we lost to Brighton 3-2 at Ewood (Duffy scored on his return). This was the line-up, it was a team that was relegated with 51 points. Is it better than the team now? I think so, just about. I'm worried we won't get to 51 points this year and what that means.

We did wrong by him for a year. Home grown player that had shown the quality. Injuries happen but to just push him out with nothing in return was criminal

Ohashi is a great squad player. Doesn't have the talent to be a regular starter in a team with serious ambitions of top six, but we aren't a team with that ambition. Today has crystallised to me that, barring a January miracle where we seriously beef up this poor squad, we are going down. If Ohashi sticks around for League 1 I think he'll be decent there.

We’d be a fantastic side of Ohashi was our biggest problem. Far from it.

I can't stand them and hope they lose every single game 'til the end of the season, but we really have nothing to crow about. Some people are saying on here there was less than 6k at Ewood midweek (don't know whether that's confirmed) and the atmosphere at Ewood is just as bad as it is at their farm this year. The Dingles might have lost 6 in a row but I've no doubt if they played Venky Rovers next weekend they'd absolutely run through us. I think going on about their form or attendances will just make us look daft. I'm more worried they'll still be a division above us next year, even though they're coming straight back down 😞

There’s a striker in League One. Scored the winning goal midweek and bagged another two today. His name is Harry Leonard. Got championship experience. Could be a good option on the bench to change things up. Better option than Gueye! Why the heck did we let him go!!!

Sorry if I missed something but is Pickering not playing because the manager doesn't rate him or for some other reason do we know?

It’s his own fault for picking him. He’s not got a good defensive brain. He’s got away with it in the European pub leagues, but he’s not aware enough. He offers nothing going forward anyway and can’t defend. Pickering is a far better bet but their stupidity won’t let them pick him.
