Tony's attitude at full time will be predictable, he will say we dominated and should have won. He will say this because in the second half we have had the majority of possession, the problem is we do nothing with it, whatsoever. We might as well pass it about in our own 18 yard box. The team lacks ideas and that comes from the manager.

Totally agree, I have no idea why he isn't the first player on the teamsheet. It is completely pathetic.

Have no idea why they play. They literally do sweet FA.

Every time I see Rothwell I despair as to why he isn't starting games, makes things happen.

That's right, yes.

Yes, should have stood.

Gallagher ripping into them on radio lancs, said they create nothing.

Sounds ideal, let's sign him up.

I miss Todd, Dickov, Savage, Mokoena, Samba, Nelsen and Kuqi.

Awful footballer, never understood the lovin for him.

He's clearly been on the whacky backy during games then, the only game under his stewardship were i've thought, you know what we played some good stuff today and should have won by a lot more, was the hull game at ewood, apart from that, rubbish.

Mulgrew, Bennett, Williams, Evans and Smallwood, playing like league 1 players. Dack invisible, armstrong runs, runs, runs and then nothing, Reed doesn't look interested, probably about sums it up for me mate.

What more do you expect from the chief ass lickers and that joke of a reporter.

Their just shit.

Same old shit, hoof ball to armstrong, armstrong runs with the ball, armstrong does nothing with ball, repeat.

Rovers are completely wide open, Preston will score a few here.

Great reaction from Mowbrays losers.

Only problem is none of them central midfielders can pass a ball.

Only sell out in 5 years? What lol. I think not, We've sold out allocations many a times, including allocations down south. Please don't make things up. As for that Bolton game, there was a consensus from both sets of fans not to attend due to the £35 ticket prices, as the clubs had always had a good arrangement in place previously, and in addition it was a televised game, so made sense to boycott for a lot. Please do your research in future.

Has to be, and then the league cup win must have sent them over the edge.

Just don't get it with Preston, I thought Blackpool where their big rivals? Same with Bolton, they supposedly don't like Man Utd and Wigan, and Wigan don't like Bolton, but yet all of them seem to consider playing us as a big rivalary game. Weird. Only the Burnley game is a rivalry for me. Even in league one, Oldham acted like it was their biggest game in years playing us.

Williams is better at centre back than left back. Not by much, but he is.

Granted they aren't 100% identical scenerios, but I think there are glaring similarities. Mediocrity probably the wrong word, apologies, more accepting of the situation.

In the end, bowyer and Mowbray very similar, in many ways. A lot of fans love both, because they steadied the ship at very low points in the clubs history, of which we should always be grateful. However both should have done far better, Bowyer with the squad he had, and Mowbray with the backing that he's had financially. Bowyer would still be here today if it wasnt for that back stabbing Shaw (which is obviously a catch 22 scenario) and Mowbray will be here for as long as he wants, because both were/are so friendly with the owners. We are again stuck and divided, just as under bowyer, 50% of fans know we need to move onto a manager who wasn't/isn't as cautious, and had/has the ability to deliver promotion, but the other half are loyal to the current manager because they've accepted mediocrity and are happy with just being one of those "they're doing okay" sides. You can't criticise either side, the blame lies solely with the owners. I firmly believe we would still be a PL side under Williams stewardship if these lot never came in or let Williams do the job he always did so well.

If we went to a game and didn't know who the manager was, then I can get your point, as some of the stuff being served up is the same as under those two at times. However Tony is a better manager than both, more honest and more professional.
