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

In peace .. what's his salary ? I'm sure I read on here at one point it was £2,000 a week + Bonus ?

Can't be right surely ?

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.

I'm worried we'll give Graham another 12 months on the basis we can't afford to sign anyone else.

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

In fairness did they not receive about £40 million for 3 players last close season which kind of balances things up? I think one went to Dingles for about £10m.

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.

Over to you Suhail

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

I don’t really understand why Sam Hart was given an extension to the end of the season if he can’t even get in the squad when our other two LBs are injured. 

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.

I just really hope you meant aversion. Or that's a very niche fetish.

To each their own though.

Brilliant.

I'm not getting into another Gallagher debate again. Its every game that you want to over analysed him and his performance. He played well, got a good goal and should have another. Work rate good again. 

Give over JH. We had some of the worst weather on record. Floods all over the county. Always going to affect the pitches. 

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

Then you look at the Wigan result!!

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.

No idea how we've gained ground on the playoffs this week by getting 2pts but hey ho. 

Brereton was brilliant when he came on, got abit carried away in the 97th minute when he maybe could have squared it but won't blame him for that! 

Bring on Wayne Rooney's Derby County. I fancy us there. 

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.

Breteton and Graham getting ready to come on apparently

Least theres chance of a good laugh then.

I think we have bigger issues to ask about than "calling him out" on that. 

Either way,what has it got to do with Mowbray?  He was happy for Mulgrew to leave. It was the latter who wanted to come back. It's up to Mulgrew to force his way into the team and at first, the squad. 

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.

Must be 25/30 rows ?

That takes us over 5k, possibly going on 6k.

 

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

Sod it i'll just tweet the club and see if anyone actually knows.

I do remember reading somewhere that there were over 5 and a half thousand seats in the Riverside although it does seem a stretch. Don't know if they are all available for sale either and therefore count towards the capacity.

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.

13/14 season. We finished 8th on 70 points, two points off 6th. W18 D16 L12. Scored 70 Conceded 62, +8 GD. 

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.

Can anyone tell me how Bucko did today? 

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.

Tickets are already on sale for the next two, so won’t happen.

Make West Brom a tenner on Easter Monday. If we are still in contention we’ll sell shed loads, and as they are doing well they’ll probably fill the Darwen End instead of their usual 1500/2000.

Big crowd, big occasion.

(It won’t happen as Waggott will want £30 off a potential  2/3000 travelling support)

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

If waggot had ewt about him, like some sense maybe, then hed look at us now, realise the squads at bare bones, but still within contention, maybe think "these lads could do with a big backing" and make the next two home games £22 for both, and make it a 'buy one get one free, you are rovers, we need you'.

The Charlton game is a tough one. Aren't they unbeaten against top 6 clubs? Deffo no pushover like some fans thought in August. 

Will be interesting how we set up formation and team line up wise. 

We arent a top 6 club though.
