Preston at Home

[USABlue]

We are awful, players look like they don't care, no one wants the ball, no fire, no desire.  Don't they give a toss?  Strolling around, this is crap.

Awful footballer, never understood the lovin for him.

Works hard and that was great in League 1, where it panicked worse footballers than him, but isn't up to scratch in the championship. Needs to be relegated to the bench, at least he can cover a few positions from there if needed.

Best we have played in weeks and it’s still not coming off.

Careful. You'll be getting a stat attack from chaddy that completely proves your point.

I don't need stats. I can see it with my own eyes!

Sounds like most home games. At least we used to win a few. The promotion momentum is now fully evaporated. 

I'd say we are in a relegation fight but these players have no fight.

this team represents the manager ; slow, turgid and mediocre

[Rover_Shaun]

We are just lumping aimless balls into the box???

[Mr. E]

The decision-making from our players is astonishing. Every opportunity they stop, kill the pace of the attacking move, think and seem to choose the worst possible pass that kills the momentum and kills any chances.

They are playing as if they are being paid to lose.

[Husky]

Rotherham are losing. ?

I miss Todd, Dickov, Savage, Mokoena, Samba, Nelsen and Kuqi.

That line-up looks like Brazil compared to what we have now.

[Bbrovers2288]

Must win game at home so time to bring in Williams, Smallwood and Evans lolz, warnings were there even last season, mowbray ain’t that great in fact he is below average. Next!

Thank God. I wouldn't fancy this lot in a relegation battle. 

[Neal]

Absolutely furious. Absolutely sick of not turning up in derby's. I'm sick of these soft as shite set of pansies. I'm sick of seeing talentless crap like Smallwood playing ahead of Rothwell. I'm sick of our toilet distribution. I'm sick of all the long balls we play. I'm sick of watching us never turn up in a first half. 

 

So many fans at the ground seem to have lost faith in Mowbray.

True enough, but "turgid" doesn't mean what you think it means.

Agreed. A very uninspiring manager with tedious home-spun philosophies that he thinks make him sound 'modern'.

We're fortunate that we probably won't end up in one, as I wouldn't bet on us staying up. Neither the players nor the manager seem mentally up for the challenge. It was all good when we had momentum and were getting good results, but as soon as it started going wrong in November we've really struggled. Not sure where that random four game win streak in January came from (granted two of those were Millwall and Ipswich) but the post-January collapse has been even worse than our November-December form. At least with those you could say we were battling and just coming up short at the end of matches. Now the players look like they could not care less. Really disheartening.

Give me a team of El Hadji Dioufs any day!

Down to 10 men too, Vaulks red card.

[Bigdoggsteel]

The most telling thing here is that we don't look structured in anything we do. It's all long balls and poor crosses 

[blueboy3333]

I wonder if Sharpe will ever show some bollocks and call out the manager instead of doing the managers bidding and calling out the players?

[DanielMB]

This tactic of playing long balls is so ridiculous.  TM really needs to get it together soon. 

[Husky]

Ok. The less emotional head says, we've played ok, in fact I'd even say it's up there with our best first halfs of the season.

The worrying thing is that Nobbers have been dire and are somehow winning 1-0.

What if that was our good half and their bad one? Still on for 0-6.

That's all it ever is. That is Rovers under Mowbray. He has one game plan. Hoof it to Graham and hope for the best.

There was a massive job was last summer but Tony decided to give all the 3rd division players a new contract instead of replacing them.

 

Not disagreeing at all. 

He's just made his job even harder, if he makes it to the summer.

[pick32]

Williams is dreadful, We have been the better team without a shadow of a doubt.

We need someone gambling On second balls we could do with Rothwell and Nutall on
