Fans showed up strong- 17,806. The best crowd since Preston game, back during the winning streak. Unfortunately, many of them have probably seen enough, won’t return when we play Stoke, what should be a winnable game.

We’re just not going anywhere. Time to give someone else a try. Find someone who at least looks interested, and has some joy about what he’s doing.

With a solid starting 11, I was really hopeful about regaining a playoff spot today, but not now. This manager looks lifeless and his players appear to be emulating him at this point. There’s so much to play for, yet the team doesn’t appear to be on fire about the opportunity. I cannot understand it.

Y’see, Tony, you play Gally his natural position, he scores.

Considering the strong 11 we’ve got today, two two leads late recently, and the poor run since the New Year, just more fuel for the fire.

Ty, you’re probably right. Hopefully, we get 60 minutes out of ‘em. We had better have a 2-0 lead when they go off the pitch, I cannot see us defend nearly as well without them.

Nyambe & Lenihan both, alrighty!

That’s who I had scoring our only goal 😂 I used to say Nyambe was going to score someday. I’m not so sure now. Maybe, hopefully, in a Rovers shirt

I sincerely hope 3,700 go home disappointed. Goodness knows we’ve had plenty of disappointments.

Absolutely. We’ve slipped to 8th; three pts could get us back in playoff places, pending other results. However, I’m afraid our flirtation with promotion has left us for good. Other suitors have left us in the dust, and kicked sand in our face.

I want to be this bold; I was never this optimistic, even during the 6-game win streak

Anything else (for reasons other than injury), and I would assume Mowbray isn’t interested in winning. I really haven’t given the guy a bad time, but it’s getting very hard to defend anything he does anymore.

If we could pull of consecutive wins (Blackpool, @P’boro), this would put us firmly in the race for a playoff spot. Will this happen? Nah. But I will say, 2-1 on Saturday. COYB!

We say this, but I do not believe it, unfortunately.

Crap crap crap

WHARTON!!!

God bless Bradley Dack

Terrible

Take your choice, Dack, Dolan, or B-D off the bench to make it 1-1, salvage an otherwise dreary match.

This is a good point, as we are abysmal scoring pk’s & totally inept on corners.

Yeah, we’ve got a patchwork squad for sure… Tony will resort to square peg/round hole philosophy, & bemoan our lack of success postgame. Heck, he doesn’t even have to think up a new speech, he’s got that one down Pat! 😆

I know I get this game on ESPN+. Well worth the $7.35/Mo I pay, when I figure in all the college sports I can watch. I went to a smaller university (Stephen F. Austin, Nacogdoches, Texas), I can watch most of their football (collegial tackleball, to most of my English friends 😁) & basketball.

I was unaware of Pike’s injury, thanks for the update. We are painfully thin on defense. I picked this 1-1, if we get this result, I won’t complain.

Dan Pike recalled from Fylde. He’s not a natural centre-back, but with our troubles, he might be on the bench this weekend.

Back to the injured list… Can we assume Nyambe, Edun, Deyo, & BB-D will play? I’m not sure if we can assume or infer anything.
