Gallagher is a mediocre player at this level but Brereton is a different level. He looks like he has been pulled out of the crowd to play.

It's nothing to do with PNE or the kick off time. This season we have put all away fans in the top tier. When that has sold out we have then opened the lower tier. We only do this with half of the stand if it's a smaller following, hence why Wigan filled half of the top tier, and then the bottom went on sale with the other half of the top tier being empty. Preston have been treated exactly the same as every other club at Ewood this year.

On Twitter their fans are saying it's a better starting XI than what they put out in their last league game.

I would expect this will be streamed live in the U.K. on Bet365 if you have a funded account.

If they are not releasing the next block in the top tier because there are individual and pair seats still left then that is ridiculous (which is what I read somewhere) However if you can get multiple,seats together at the moment and they just haven't sold out the upper tier then I don't see what their problem is. Also, many are saying the atmosphere is poor in the top tier and that the atmosphere will be better in the bottom tier, and then say they are going to go in th home ends where they won't be able to say or sing a damn thing. (although we have heard this many times over the years from bigger clubs than PNE and apart from City in 2001 and Celtic it's always been bollocks.

The problen is a pivotal part of Dacks 'role' has been to arrive in the box in space at the right time. Thats where his goals have come from. Holtby and Rothwell might be able to replace his build up play but they arent goal poachers in the same bracket as Dack. With him beung out we have two roles to fill.

Exactly. My point being that it is Forest who carried out the logical masterplan. I,d rather have took a punt on 3 or 4 from the lower leagues at 750k

Obviously not if you can find a mug buyer.

I agree in general. I just think his free kick delivery was so much better that we scored more goals from corners and free kicks into the box. Statistically that may be wrong.

We are still scoring away from home. Excluding the brum penalty, its just 2 goals from open play in last 4 game at Ewood.

The logic behind the Brereton transfer is incredibly sound. Young English striker. Develop him, get him to perform a bit in the Championship and then sell him on for a tidy profit. The problem is that we were the club that he got moved on to whilst Forest got the profit !

Enforced. He split his sides laughing at Walton.

? Walton

Yeah but we lost Dack..... blah...blah....blah.

It's clear now from the discussion regarding the accounts that Graham, despite clearly being the best striker we have, has no resale value so doesn't get game time.

We were poor with Graham on the pitch but abysmal when he went off. Up to £14mill spunked on strikers and he is still the best we have. Travis and Buckley couldn't trap the ball first time and nor could they find a blue and white shirt. Buckley actually got on the ball in or just outside the box on 3 occasions in the second half and wasted it each time. When Gallagher did win a flick on, he just flicked it to nowhere every time. Some time when you are challenging defenders that cant be helped, but sometimes he cleanly won the header and has to be more aware of where support is.

To be fair he had his big chance in the first few minutes and fluffed it.

Hot off the press ratings. Walton 4 Bennett 2 Lenihan 5 Tosin 5 Downing 4 Bell 5 Buckley 2 Travis 2 Johnson 3 Rothwell 2 Graham 6 Gallagher 4 Chapman 2 Armstrong 3

How come their guy shoots from 30 yards into the top corner, and yet the ineffective Buckley has a clear shot on the edge of the box and tries a daft little through ball. I didn't think any Rovers player could make this performance stink any more than it does, but this Chapman cameo is doing just that.

We are in the bottom half of the table now.

Birmingham players told me on Boxing Day that Holtby was off to West Brom for £7 million instead of Dack. ?

Tony got his starting lineup wrong?

I know he's nothing alone but Buckley is having a bit of a shocker. However at least he got in the box there.

That'll sort it out.
