Seriously... What has Rothwell done but come on every single time and look... By a long way... Our best player? All whilst far less talented footballers like Bennett and Smallwood run around the pitch. I'm at a loss at this point. I'm sick of watching blood and guts footballers who are clearly falling way short in this league whilst we play insepid, predictable, nothing long ball football. Play your best players man! Jesus christ. Its beyond ridiculous now. I just don't understand the fella.

On Buckley... What's his contract situation now? Is it still looking likely he'll leave?

Magloire has been pulled out of the under 23's. Obviously isn't going to start, Just play the lad at centre half for christ sake instead of more square peg round holes with Nyambe at right back.

What's doing my head in a bit is the lack of responsibility he's taking for performances and decision making. He'd have a lot more credit in the bank with me if he held his hands up. It's fine dumping on the players when they deserve it but sometimes you have to look inwards. Lack of activity in January and picking or not picking of certain players has really dug himself a hole... Not to mention playing players out of position repeatedly. He only needs to look back at his career to see why he's lost his job previously... Time to learn fella.

That's something that really irks me too. Fair enough if there are no other good quality managers around but currently that's not the case.

What's really starting to bug me is he comes out in the press saying things like... "it's going to take us 4 windows to get us where we want to be"... Then wastes January and say he's happy with the squad. He then says, Brereton and Rothwell are due to get more game time and doesn't even give one single start to Rothwell since!

How my opinion has changed in these past months. Hate to say it but Mowbray has to go now I think. Every manager has a lifespan at a club and I think he's run his out. Its similar to Bowyer, did a good job initially but could no longer take us forwards. I can see where things are going, next season is looking a certain relegation scrap. They need to have someone lined up with proven quality in this league, not sack him and have no plan. Just one of those things I think unfortunately... Cheers Tony but its time to move on. The reality is, Mowbray and Waggott have a strong bond and I can't see him replacing TM, if he doesn't I can see things getting toxic unless performances and results change drastically enough to get him to the summer. Tensions are already pretty high, fans are on players backs, lost faith in the manager, results and performances not getting better. Better letting someone come in now to prepare for next season.

Not even a centre back

By far the worst ref I've seen in professional football.

Tony has just wasted another 15 minutes of football. Remember, we're only allowed to make subs after 60 minutes.

I don't think we've even played that well despite what some are saying. Preston have had long spells of possession where we've been made to look like mugs. They're winning and at times have allowed us to have possession whilst getting behind the ball which I think has conned people into thinking we're playing well. We haven't scored and never really believed we look like a team capable of scoring. They look bang average aswell, which pretty much tells you everything you need to know about this shower.

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.

Yeah I was there. Unreal atmosphere.

Fella my dad goes Ewood with got invited to the training ground recently, I think he won some sort of competition or something, got to watch the players train... That's nothing compared to how he spoke to Dack apparently. Bloke said he tried doing some fancy flick or trick in training and he went ballistic at him not realising fans were there... Quickly realised they were and waved at them to apologise for the language he used.

Mate, fair enough if you want to change managers but don't start comparing him to Steve Kean because thats just not on. I just feel that a change of face who has fresher ideas might just liven things up. Perhaps someone a bit younger. Just speculating.

I think he might need to shake up his backroom staff. What the guy who coaches him called? Time for some fresh ideas perhaps.

Do it again at the end of the season I think.

I have serious concerns over the manager now.

What I've heard aside... Why Joe Rothwell hasn't been playing and the likes of Smallwood have been turning out isn't nothing short of a complete farce... The lad is f*cking miles ahead of anything we have. Disgraceful.

Rothwell technically is clearly the best player we have. I've heard that he seemingly has a bit of an attitude and seemingly doesn't integrate with the players. Maybe that's the issue.

That was absolutely disgusting defending. The whole back 4 and keeper need replacing. Soft as sh*te.

Or should only be trusted in a back 5.

No movement. Put Armstrong up top and have 3 in midfield, sub Smallwood and Bennett for Reed and Rothwell. BUT WE ALL KNOW HE ONLY MAKES SUBS ON 65, 70 and 75.

We're only on top because we're losing, that's not good enough. This team is relegation fodder in its current state, I'll still mean it even if we do find a way to win this. We're starting to see the last days of Graham and Mulgrew, Smallwood isn't good enough, neither is Bell, Raya or Bennet. Too small, too soft and simply not good enough. Preston winning... We'll get murdered off them.
