AAK

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.

Go on the stadium tour they tell you the capacity of the riverside, 4300.

8k a piece behing goal, JW 11k and riverside 4300.

We played okay, brentford were better and should have won, simple as really, so happy with a point. Once again we lose points, 23 now lost from winning positions, 2nd worst in league.

We played brighton towards end of season at home and we surrendered the lead twice against them, with brighton equalising in the 90th minute,, after it looked like wed won it with a late penalty, if wed have won we would have finished above them and wed have finished in the top 6, as they were 6th place. We also conceded a 95th min equaliser to sheff weds 2 weeks later after leading 3-1. We should have been top 6.

Im not overly bothered either way, as I havent entered into this Buckley debate with you at all. However i think this is one of your sarcy posts, and youre hoping someone says he was looking like the next dunn, to big up your £20million bids claim, give it a rest Paul.

I know mate. Exactly the issue, he doesnt forsee these opportunities.
