Since Hill scored he's lost his head.

Poor that, but arguably a foul on Sammie in the build up to their goal.

We're a much better team without Travis. He works hard but he's only good for the last 20 minutes when legs are tiring.

Would be nice to see a Sammie hat-trick. We've just gone ahead of poncey Preston on goal difference by the way.

Good old Szmoddy!

Probably because it happened before Lewis went full Travis.

If Birmingham have us figured out they are doing an awful job of it. Another frustrating game but Rovers the better team. We went backwards when Dolan went off though. Referee shit, Birmingham should have had a sending off. Then he couldn't stop handing out yellow cards for the least bit of a thing.

An injury every game, ffs.

From Gt Yarmouth, supports Burnley.

We tend to average an injury per game so I should have known.

He asked how I felt it went and I did acknowledge that we lost, as well as saying I thought we would pre-match when I saw Travis was at full back. Tbh I don't expect much from a game when Travis is lines up as a midfielder never mind a defender. He tried hard and broke up play better than a lot of games this season but he's not a full back and PNE knew it before a ball was kicked. I don't think there's any chance of us playing shite and winning at the moment.

Depressing. I mean yay!

How much have they spent compared to what they made?

I think you got lucky. Caught us with a lot of injuries having to rely on a lot of youth, but we still outplayed you for long periods. If we had a decent striker I believe it would have been a different story as other than Szmodics (who I reckon is also carrying an injury), our other players rarely chip in (I think the most goals by other players is 4). If we hadn't lost JRC to a bad injury against Norwich, he'd have been all over you and added some much needed bollocks. Due to his loss we had a midfielder at fullback and you took full advantage. At the beginning of the game when I saw Travis at fullback I groaned, and as expected we lost, despite playing better than I expected and raising hopes. We had four first team defenders out and no fit strikers. The three strikers we did have on the bench were a kid, a L1 striker short of match fitness and a lad from a foreign pub team league, who previously also looks short of match fitness. I'm guessing now your fans love Lowe, despite wanting him sacking after taking you to the top. To be fair I can see why after a bad result it could easily turn as a team with a decent striker or two would have turned you over before your first goal went in. For a team that's spent most of the time in the top 6 I was surprised at how almost every PNE pass gave the ball away cheaply, and resorting to fouling, but you can get away with that when you have belief and some physicality. Preston remind me of us early last season when we weren't playing very well but getting results by hitting teams on the break and relying on a bit of luck. Hopefully your luck runs out like ours did when we were cheated at Coventry 😉

If other teams are after him we have no chance.

That's absolutely stupid. I once had to travel to Cornwall and they paid for our air travel down there. Didn't take long. For professional footballers the least travel time the better for obvious reasons. But as we know from the CEO, winning football matches is secondary these days, as long as we don't lose enough to go down.

Haha outed, be great when he does his daily google of himself.

Did they fly for the Plymouth game or go on the coach? If anyone’s ever driven down to Plymouth they’ll know what a stupid decision it would be. Right J*B?

Gilsenan is injured isn’t he?

A big reason for conceding last night was Adam Wharton being on the pitch way longer than he should have been. Looking at the options though, who replaces him for 25 minutes? Garrett maybe but still not ideal. Markanday wouldn’t be my pick and I groaned when he came on, but who else is there? Telalovic? And I’d have brought on Ennis instead of Leonard but I still don’t think that would have changed things much. It’s almost always a choice of mediocre or mediocre.

He’s not blameless, and he’s also not the manager for working in the championship on such a low budget, grinding out results with mediocre players and kids. I don’t think he signed up for that so I’m not going to blame him for things out of his hands just because I need someone to direct my anger at. He makes mistakes but every one is magnified due to the lack of depth and support. It’s common knowledge that he wanted experienced grafters, goalscorers, a midfielder and a fullback. He was told when appointed that he would be supported over his contract. They changed the plan, so it’s frustrating but unsurprising when we continually fall short. If anything he seems to be the only person at the club with any ambition.

Sorry I hit a nerve with that Jim. If I knew you’d still be crying about it the next day I’d have used different terms.

Which striker is he supposed to play? Mr Inexperienced, Mr even more Inexperienced, or Mr Unfit?

Nah they’ll do it again, but they’ll do it when they’ve appointed some halfwit. We’ll be heading down to L1 under a washed up manager from their favourite agency, but with an excellent striker who we’ll eventually lose for nothing. And we’ll all lament they spent money two or three years too late. It’s what they do. I still have nightmares of them allowing Gary Bowyer to make mistake after mistake with a good championship squad and excellent strikers.
