So you are looking at it from that point of view, didn't think you meant it that way, hmmm interesting point I suppose. Then again it is set at 12 and they've managed to gain so many points then they have fairly stayed up, but I see your point, it will have at least worried them, but again I take your point.

I'm amazed how this lot have got to such a late stage in the season and still being in with a shout of the play offs, they are a woeful side.

I agree with it, if a team is going down anyway, then they should be punished the season after, it's like when people are given a 6 month driving ban, concurrent to a 12 month one already imposed, you aren't really being punished.

Do not know how good they are, but since the young lads came on, Rovers look far more potent, and willing to have a go. Give them all a chance next season.

Good.

What are Rovers these days? There is just no identity imbeded within the team. Its just a bunch of players chucked together, hoping for the best. Heads drop when they concede every game, mentality must be weak.

Admittedly I haven't watched a Rovers game, bar the odd highlights for a long time, just because I can't really be bothered. However watching this tonight, and by goodness, their defending is shambolic, they defend like schoolboys, Lenihans positioning sense is awful. Bradley Johnson is a poor footballer, not sure why he came with expectations, he struggles to pass a ball.

I can't believe that somehow this Rovers team, is still in with the slightest of chances of the playoffs, a win tonight would see us upto at least 8th (temporarily at least) and if Derby win at Cardiff, just one point off the play off places. The championship really is unreal. As always though, with this slightest of chances, we will go and blow it no doubt. If Cardiff do beat Derby tonight though, then that is it for Rovers I think, well it will be mathematically too if we lose alongside a Cardiff win and near on the same if we draw. This will be the night which decides whether or not we are in with a chance of play offs on the final day.

Just watching highlights from yesterday, why is rothwell so good off the bench? He was class, but when he starts games hes shite

The same Luton that beat us too, at Ewood. Huddersfield just above relegation zone, the same huddersfield that took 4 points off rovers. Charlton, if they lose, just one point off bottom 3, the same charlton that won at ewood. Birmingham just abover relegation zone, the same Birmingham that took 4 points off rovers. Boro bottom 3, same Boro that took a point at ewood. Stoke just above bottom 3, same stoke that took a point at ewood. Wigan going down, same wigan that took 4 points off Rovers, what a trend.

This is venkys we are talking about, the manager will be on double what the players are on, give madam a kiss or two and you have a job for life.

Mowbray "it will be great to have Leeds back in the Premiership, im looking forward to seeing them there" Piss off Tony. Any manager that comes out with crap like that shouldnt be here.

Im worried that hes still our best striker, so would rather see gallagher and brereton leave on frees.

Think they received a bit pal, but still £37mil in this league is some proper dosh, its 7 and a half sam gallaghers for goodness sake!!!

To be honest not sure who we would get in, lost a lot of interest in the game over the last few years, so dont have a clue which good upcoming managers are out there. However the current manager seems to have reached his peak here. Clearly cannot spend decent cash when put before him, woeful tactics and the odd mentality of playing players out of position, mean he really should move on.

Spent £37 million over the last 2 seasons, awful manager.

Ben Gladwin ring any bells? Mowbray gives out contracts to nice lads, and those he feels sorry for, footballing ability rarely comes into it with him. Chuck smallwoods imrpoved terms contract into that a couple of years back.

Brilliant.

Gallagher is a poor player. 3 goals in 60 games now is it at this level? Bloody awful.

I look at the wigan result at ewood more. Preston beat shit teams at home 90% of the time, we dont very often, thats the difference.

Because preston have played away to 1st and 3rd. Once they have a couple of home games theyll be well clear.

The home draws will be out downfall come May. Drawn with Huddersfield, Stoke, Swansea, Birmingham and Wigan at home. Not forgetting them dreadful losses to charlton and luton. We really should have got more points from those home games. Its what Preston have done well, put teams to bed at home.

Least theres chance of a good laugh then.

Its got a lot to do with Mowbray, hes in a position now whereby, a defender he doesnt think is good enough, is suddenly our third best centre half, because he only brought in a city player on loan (Nyambe isnt a centre half before anyone says that, and neither is williams, hes awful wherever he plays).

Doubt it with red button.
