They’re not exactly game changers though are they ?

My point was that we needed fresh legs and those two are no longer in nappies (duypers for Waco Rover and others).

 Our bench resembled a creche and it's difficult to impose a real change on the game with youngsters who are still using Calpol.

I've already mentioned that Garrett and Markanday could have been used but weren't. Calpol no longer used by those two.

I listened on Radio Lancs. They mentioned after about 35 minutes that Brittain and Moran should swap wings. Also, late in the 2nd half they said Moran and Szmodics were "out on their feet". Why were Garrett and Markanday not used as subs? They are first team squaddies.

I think some blame could be laid at the feet of JDT and his assistant. We have an extremely thin squad right now and we need to use all the subs we are able to. It's not the first time this has happened either.

No fault of JDT but must be the worst bench of the last 10 years?

That’s the worst bench in my lifetime. Looks like another mammoth ask for the 11 that start

No disrespect to our young lads, but THAT bench is horrifying, for Championship standard.

Whenever we have called the bench horrendous in the past and have had no hope, we seem to have done really well. Let's hope that continues today.

Who is Montgomery? Can he lead us into D Day?

Dads Army is one of my favourites. My wife cannot stand it and cannot see any humour.

JDT's happy to play a right back at centre back, left back, right back, right wing, left wing. Happy to play an attacking midfielder at striker or full back. Play a defensive midfielder a number 10. He'll basically play anyone anywhere except GK, centre back or centre mid. 

JDT is more into playing the players out of position than Mowbray ever was.

It's called total football as in J Cruyff and his mates style.

Interesting comment on full screen. I generally use safari on a Mac and have had the same problem. I switched to Firefox for Rovers games which gives me full screen. 

So you think it's my Safari causing the problem. Maybe. Thanks for that I'll look into it.

I managed to watch the second half on Rovers TV. What a horrible web site is the Rovers; not easy. Still couldn't watch it on full screen.

Anyway, we played some brilliant football but after the third goal we should have changed the game by making it scrappy. Plenty of throw-ins to them in their own half. Nothing better than a stop-start game for preventing the opposition from getting going. But our youngsters haven't got that nous yet.

Leonard is improving every game.

I'm feeling satisfied.

Dolan injured and going off. Leonard coming on

it's on Sky

Thanks. I don't have Sky Sport

I fear Hogan. He's on their bench

Heard that if you can't make it to Ewood you can buy a £10 ticket to watch on Rovers TV. Ive tried and all I get is buy a half season ticket. Any help?

We are all revelling in watching Burnley struggle again in the Prem. But what would we prefer? To tread water as a mid table championship side season after season or to be a yo-yo team where every other season we are brilliant and every other(other) season we get thrashed every week. Serious question.

I know which I'd choose.

Why would you sign the blues if we were winning? 

In the original song the blues referred to heartbreak. But to Rovers' fans "blues" meant the team (even though our shirts are half white).

I think it’s Downes.

Hmmm. Sammie Szmodics Downes. Sounds like chalk hills in Sussex. Not as bad as Dewsbury Hall though. That sounds like a western region railway engine.

I think we'll stick with SS

Thinking how many he should have got in addition to those he did! He should have been the sensation of the season.

Yeah. I wonder what Sammie's mum's maiden name is. Can we give him a two named surname?

Where is Sammi in the list of leading championship goalscorers ?

 

 

Top. One more than Mr Armstrong.

If you ring the club you won't get to talk to a human being. Instead you'll be speaking to Artificial Dunces.

Turning off the tap was bad but I think doing it with no warning long after the transfer window had already opened was the mallet that really rammed home the cactus enema.

Wonderful expression! Never heard it before.😂

edited to add link to page I’ve taken this from  https://www.rovers.co.uk/videos/

Thanks for that. Don't know why it wasn't available on Rovers site for me before.

I've re-registered and can get in but I still can't find Rovers v PNE full game to watch. I've been trying for 2 weeks. Do they take games off after a while? I'm getting seriously pi**ed off with Rovers.

Absolutely ridiculous and disgusting that Russia can be kicked out yet Israel aren't.

Apparently politics should be kept out of football. In reality it's just the none NATO fascist politics that are to be kept out.

 

These comments are for the "We did warn you" place.

I used to love “ The Rifleman “.

Chuck Connors was Rifleman.    I used to watch "Riverboat" with Darren McGavin but only for the theme tune which I thought was brilliant.

Lucky you.

On the contrary, I want to watch our boys and how each played over the 90 odd minutes. I also want to see how North End played.

My dad used to go to Deepdale sometimes so he could hold his own in any discussion about Rovers and North End.

I still cannot watch the PNE full game.
