  1. Agree. Just frustrating that we shoud have been even better in theory had we spent more wisely. Big 2 games coming up. 4 points probably ok but if 6 has to be the target.
  2. But also hows how we have blown our budget.
  3. Im with Chaddy on this. Buckley only ends up on the ground as Raya comes over the top of him. If it was other way around the keeper gets a free kick without a doubt. Whereas their guy goes down because he anticipates or feels a soft touch.
  4. I rewound it and watched it back from normal footage. Pausing it as the ball is is played he is definitely offside.
  5. Derby v Fulham tonight. Preferred result a draw?
  6. Easter Monday red button unless it's changed from last year?
  7. Also, we all know the issues with the red button but iFollow really doesn't help attendances.
  8. You are asking people to show commitment who have already turned down showing commitment twice this season - and ignoring the fact at least 2 of the 6 games are on TV. They aren't committed so are not going to tie themselves down for 6 dates between now and May. I've got a season ticket and I will miss at least 1 and possibly 2 of those games. You are failing to understand that Wembley (and Oxford) are one off occasions, and they will obviously bring out a different set of floating fans. Cheap tickets boosts attendances for individual games. These are good to get 'new' or 'lost' attendees to the matches but don't seem to retain fans (not helped by the fact we often don't perform when we get a decent crowd) For more substantial gains it needs an idea like this one , to be implemented as it would hopefully slow the non-renewals of season tickets and keep the people who do tend games now and again coming more often. The club could be safe or ultra aggressive depending how they priced this. Ongoing success on the pitch will help but that will be a slow process. Promotion would obviously bring fans back, but the genuine belief that we 'could' get promoted would also help. We may be excited on here about where we would be if we won on Saturday, but in the pub on Tuesday night people who I would class as 'very floating fans' (people who I know have been to Ewood in years gone by sporadically but not any more) don't feel that we have a chance of the play offs like we do. It would take us to actually get into the play offs to have an effect. If we are in the top 6 come the Reading game watch what happens to that crowd even without any promos. Back to the original point, the Super 6 is decent value, and the £35k or so it generates is still extra revenue, but in terms of numbers we wont see ay major difference and Waggot will then claim its disappointing.
  9. 9 points and then beat Leeds and you won't be needing that train or accommodation.
  10. Anyone want an early morning giggle? ? https://www.pne-online.net/forum/index.php?threads/pne-youth-team-thread-2019-20-season.3428537/page-43
  11. When is the cut off for getting 10 bookings and not getting a ban? I presume that will be in March some time. I'd go for the first option. It would be the least disruption from the norm.
  12. And how many chances has he been given? About 1/10th of the chances BB has. We dont really know what he can contribute until we see him get some regular game time. Problem is, the next time we see him will probably be for 15 minutes at the end of March.
  13. Brereton showed nothing thing for 18 months. Long way for Harry to go to match that yet.
  14. They don't. The problem is that, watching at Ewood, you struggle to actually see what Gallagher does when he is out wide that any half-decent wide player wouldn't do. He doesn't get crosses in, he doesn't beat a man, he doesn't bring people into play with his height, he doesn't particularly excel tracking back and he certainly isn't offering more of a goal threat. What he does do is work reasonably hard, which should be a requisite for any footballer (but isn't unfortunately). He also gives us some height when defending corners and set pieces. Whilst we are winning games it isn't an issue. However you never come off the ground saying Gallagher played very well. He appears to just 'do a job' out wide. Nothing wrong with that, but it is one of the first areas you would look to improve in a transfer window. Yet we didn't.
  15. Stats can be misleading. You have shown..... Games won when Gallagher starts - 34% Games won when Gallagher doesn't start - 66%
  16. There's a generation of Rovers fans under 40 years of age who probably don't appreciate that the play offs can be a dark, dark place.
  17. He must get horrendous stick away from home, as I never hear anyone getting on his back at Ewood.
  18. Magnificent result with what sounded a solid performance.
  19. Thats the 'budget' argument from last weekend shot to pieces.
  20. Again, sides below us have won at the Valley. They are obviously dangerous but it's disappointing if we don't win.
  21. 3 wins in last 20 games and lost home and away to 6th place Preston. They've got some draws against a couple of the top teams, but have also been turned over at home by Huddersfield, Birmingham and Wednesday.
  22. Boro at home was also a goal he could have done better with. You have removed 'examples' which you say are not his fault, but they are all examples which a better keeper would have saved. Every week within the top top flights there are around 250 to 300 defenders who feature in games. There are only 46 goalkeepers who feature. I can't believe that a better goalkeeper than Walton is not available to us within our budget, and TM's comments at the supporters consultation meeting also seemed to suggest he feels the same'. I wouldn't sign him as I believeI we should be capable of signing somebody better. However he has improved a lot throughout the season.
  23. Can we agree beforehand that, with us only taking 4 points from the last 3 games, only 14 games remaining and with the top 2 still to come to Ewood, a point on Saturday is not a good result
  24. I thought he did well first half in winning the ball and looking to lay it off. The players around him didn't have Dack's nack of being able to work off him effectively turning his knockdowns did create chances. However in the second half it simply stopped working, as Mowbray alluded to in his interview, and it was right to change it like he did. Graham looked very fed up trudging off but he is still a valuable option we should use more often.
  25. Someone can quote you and then change the text within the quote. See the text added above. Therefore someone could quote you, and then paste somebody else post into the quote box. Not sure why anyone would do that though.
