Reed was decent, man of match. Evans didn't get booked but Armstrong is not this level. His goal was due to a brilliant back heal from Dack. It wasn't Brereton's fault but we fell apart when he came on.

That usually happens later in the night. Don't think I've ever been this annoyed. They need a blasting from Mowbray. An ex pro once told me a 2 0 lead is dangerous and today was evidence of that. Fan let down again.

It was after Graham went off we fell apart.

What was Raya thinking? He needs dropping now not just because of this. Bell should not be in the team and I've big doubts about Armstrong. Ok he scored but he can't carry the ball.

Are we back on?

Why no activity?

Stanley, Woking or Burnley at home would add a bite to the third round but got a feeling it will be Pompey away.

Armstrong worries me. On Saturday against Penders he gave up early doors whereas you'd expect a player at this level to have a few ideas to test the opposition.

Good move by the club and Tony. "......that’s what football is; it’s why you keep going back." COYB

Does a lot of talking and pointing. For a young lad that shows to me he has ability and confidence. He needs to start and has a point to prove.

So he's not made a mistake and would do same again. What can we expect at Wigan.

TM “...... collectively we played too deep and invite pressure." With no one to hold the ball up front there was little else we could do.

Preston deserved a 4 1 win. Dack & Armstrong simply did not want to put in the effort. As for team selection, does Mowbray think the ball will stick to the ground when we pass it forward? Meanwhile a £7m striker watches from the bench. Yes I'm annoyed and I'm questioning Mowbray's ability at this level. Not for the first time he's dropped a clanger in team selection but you would think he would learn by his mistakes. Today clearly showed he has not ?

Agree with you Jim even if it was the original colour.

Looks a bit work in progress. As already suggested needs a logo, flag or club crest to the right of BRFCS.com.

5,553 is massive following. When did we last have that kind of away support? On parking not so sure Sainsburys is a good idea as many supermarket car parks have an number plate recognition on entry. Last time I parked on Moor Park without any trouble. Remember being told that away fans would be kept in for at least ten minutes but got out on the whistle anyway. Big mistake was time it took driving down the dual carriageway toward M6. Either way out of Preston will be busy so plan to do a bit of walking this time. Best pubs anyone?

We had some memorable support last season although to lower home gates. For pne with 12,200 home fans and 5,500 Rovers fans the gate would be 17,700. That would give a home/away ratio (number of home fans to every Rovers fan) of 3.22. We can make some noise! These are last seasons best figures but don't have Rotherham: 2017-18 Gate Home/Away Ratio Bradford City 21,403 (1,965 Rovers) 10.89 Rochdale 6,524 (3,300 Rovers) 1.98 Oldham Athletic 7,784 (3,000 Rovers) 2.59 Wigan Athletic 11,211 (2,500 Rovers) 4.48 Bury 7,159 (3,750 Rovers) 1.91 Walsall 6,893 (2,779 Rovers) 2.48 MK Dons 11,212 (2,524 Rovers) 4.44 Doncaster Rovers 10,443 (3,860 Rovers) 2.71 Charlton Athletic 17,310 (3,110 Rovers) 5.57

sorry wrong thread

yeah disappointing we couldn't break into top six. We did play some quality football at times but lacked the killer finishing. Smallwood had a good game. Has the ideas, not the skill, but his commitment shines through. He was still at it as he sat down after being subd. Ref this week wasn't too bad, he let the game flow but could do little to stop Rotherham wasting time.

Just been down to shop got block N halfway up. Shop confirms 3,500 sold as at this morning.

Played better second half but the ref was a problem even though he gave us a penalty. We held a good shape throughout , Graham should have bagged two but both him and Dack had to come deep into midfield because they weren't getting the ball upfront. In the end a good 3 points.

Ref known for his card use.

But in Ewood Ace's line up Bennett is sub. If it was Graham he's probably only play 70 minutes.

Like it but who would be captain? Evans? or Rodwell??
