We’re making a sh*te Preston side look like Barcelona. FFS Tony sort it out you old goat.

Have we genuinely stringed two passes together yet? It’s been that bad and then some.

Of course. Cunningham. As I’ve just posted, we’ve been utterly, utterly terrible for this first 20 mins.

They’re hardly any better but we have been utterly useless for this first 20 mins. That’ll come as a surprise to absolutely nobody.

Lenihan seems to be aiming for the cut outs in the stand.

Up against Cunningham too - didn’t he struggle against Dolan when Cardif were here a couple months ago? You’d surely put someone quick and tricky on Greg rather than Gallagher.

The cut out of Balaji next to Jack lifting the Premier League trophy has just made me feel very sick.

Exactly that. ‘I’m not big on formations. Tonight? Oh just the false 9.’

Only reason the guy got a player of the month nomination is because of his parent club.

Be nice to get a first half goal too wouldn’t it?

Good to see Dack start. For the love of God can Gallagher not be right wing (he will be).

‘Tonight Preston are up against free scoring Blackburn Rovers’.

One thing's for sure - we'll hear this from one of the commentator's tonight. Happens everytime we're on Sky: "It's been very unlike a Tony Mowbray side for them to be playing like this".

When is the next international break? Expect a run of a few matches before then.

How did he get a player of the month nomination?! He was very average in Jan, at best.

Well it was Elliot at false 9 last week, so by the law of averages it’s Bradley’s turn tomorrow. Didn’t Mowbray get funny with Sharpe for asking about it? He’s so stubborn, the flack he’s seen/heard about it will probably make him determined to do it again tomorrow night. As for the result, I’m not feeling confident at all. We’ve had our mini purple patch and usually back up our first defeat in a while with another one.

Good to know. There are plenty on here who wouldn’t have been with that quote.

‘Perhaps’?!

There are certainly parallels between Mowbray and Bowyer and I can see this City lad being our new Michael Keane. Shoe horned in at RB as he needs to play every week.

Bang on. We can barely score with him, let alone if he buggers off.

Mowbray would have had Shearer on the wing as he’s ‘the best crosser at the club’. Great post BTW Parson.

Have just the one glass or you’ll be posting that we’ll smash the nobbers ‘by 4 or 5 goals to 1’.

Well Tony’s surprised we didn’t win and said we bossed it after the 20th minute. And no I’m not joking.

Well apparently Venky’s ‘understand when we have bad runs’, so he’s certainly banging the drums behind the scenes.

Reason 527 why Mowbray is a rubbish manager - set pieces. If I’m right we’ve scored from one all season. Conceded wise, it’s got to stand at 10+ as a minimum, surely?
