The Preston equivalent of our rubber snake brigade, who probably will be back out in force for Hyam next Saturday.

Tavares! I'd forgotten we'd signed him. £2m well spent.

Haha, we went out of the cup in August, at the first hurdle. Montgomery was played out of position and had a nightmare, Michalski gifted them a goal and is 3rd choice anyway, and Tyjon huffed and puffed and hasn’t been seen since. Maybe we could consider Tavares as one of the U21s. He’s barely been seen since that game either.

Whilst Cantwell has performed better as an individual, I still maintain we have been a more cohesive unit with him not in the team. With him dropping so deep we can look unbalanced with he, TGH and Tronstad all wanting to occupy the same spaces. Add in we don't have any natural pace or width high up the pitch we often end up having a lot of the ball in areas that don't hurt the opposition. Cantwell is IMO so much better when higher up the pitch, the further forward we can get him the better IMO. I hate seeing him dropping in and receiving it from the CB's or where the full backs are.

🤭🤭, Lars got himself some warranted attention:

60% of the time it works, every time!

Just had a quick look online and initial evidence there is to the contrary. AI says the Club has never received money from the National Lottery. Do you have a source?

I'd be surprised if it actually happens. Maybe I'll be shown to be wrong but suspect this is as much a publicity stunt as anything. It gets their owners all over the news and loads of positive PR, wins people over. The cringeworthy media videos with Brady, Bellingham and Peaky Blinders. Yuck. But actually getting it done - shovels in the ground and chimneys built - takes a lot more than big talk and famous faces doing videos. Again might be wrong but I'd be amazed if they or anyone else were coughing up £3 billion or whatever it will be to build this in a derelict corner of Birmingham whilst they are a Championship club struggling to fill a 30k stadium. If/when they get to the PL maybe a different matter.

Nice to see the flag flying in Perth 🔥🔥🔥

Probably for the same reason that Liverpool FC were given money by the Lottery Fund.

I can't see that happening. I'd say either it's a case we're all (apart from Islander) over-reacting and it's merely a niggling injury that has taken longer than expected to clear up, or, if negotiations have taken place behind the scenes, we won't see him again.

If we're playing 3-5-2 then we need at least one centre back and another striker. Get rid of Kargbo since he doesn't have a role in that layout, and probably one of Pickering/Ribeiro. Obviously every position needs an upgrade but that's where we are short.

Absolutely. Most incisive post on here for a long time! 1971 with an Owen Coyle minus the Burnley connection. What could go wrong?

no

I think this has got a Rovers win written all over it tonight. We've been decent on the road and have got results at Leicester and Bristol City when most expected us to get battered. We were comfortable at Coventry for 60 odd minutes and were only undone by two long range goals. We have shown we can be organised and tough to break down away from home. I don't see why we can't be again tonight. This lot are getting carried away and are being lulled by our League position and after hearing about a couple of injuries. You'd think Dobbin is Benzema listening to them. They have better players than us all over the park, apparently. We'll see about that. Fancy us to do a job on them. Blackpool's rivals 1-2 Rovers.

The way it is going we are going back to 1971 with no Ken Furphy !

My experiences going back to the early 90's to now are entirely different. They do though seemed to have ramped it up a level in recent years especially their younger element. We've had yo yo Burnley though quite regularly but they haven't really had Blackpool so much. So it's a natural substitute and although a lot of BBwD based fans look at Bolton probably as the next real rival these lot look at us. It's a bit like the Wigan / Bolton thing really were over the last few years its become a big deal whereas before only two small groups of hools were bothered about each other. Also with Knobbers after being in our shadow so long they now often get the upper hand so the Rovers chips on their shoulders that's been weighing them down for decades get thrown off now and again. Another Venky induced gift that nobody ever asked for but iv'e been saying for 15 years they won't return us to where they found us they'll return us to what we were pre Mr Walker.

I’ve just realised that non of the usual main stream channels are even showing the highlights this evening. Then they wonder why most kids no longer have an interest in playing cricket.

The pitch in Perth is very bowler friendly, I remember being shocked at the India score last year. It was like every bowl had soemthing on it and a wicket was about to fall. I can't see England doing anything different in 2nd Innings, a quick dash to 200 should see us home here.

Where's the Money Honey?

Their Badge....Preston Plastics.

Is there any point in scheduling 5-day Tests any more? This could be over in 2 days Not Test cricket as we know and like to remember it but if England do somehow manage to win we'll take it

Lancashire rivals but nowhere near the East Lancashire one. I wont backed against my own club. Couldn't bare doing that

I did think it might actually attract a good number of Rovers fans, so they can grab a squeaky chicken in protest of our clown ownership but either way, The Spud Bro's win.
