I'm not advocating we get Joe Hart.... but can you imagine Joe Hart turning up for work with his England caps and PL winners medals to be told how to be a be a better goalkeeper by Ben Benson. It just can't work.

I will not be surprised to see :- Administration as soon as the games are complete. Administrator selling Dack to Burnley. 12 points deduction next season and relegation. Bring it on so we can get shut of this lot.

Playing with no centre forward. Mowbray using his genius-insanity gene to maximum effect. We tried this at the start of the season and we were averaging 1 shot on target every 2 games if you remember. Mowbray said he was playing with nobody in the middle before the season started. It's dumb and doesn't work. Walton just as bad as all our previous keepers....common denominator....Ben Benson the GK coach who never played himself. Funny at the drinks break he had a flip pad and was instructing outfield players. What a setup. Can't win football matches with no Keeper and no Centre Forward.

Just saw the replay of the first goal. Was never a foul. Travis should be fined a weeks wages for that.

Thoroughly depressing that.

haha Wally Walton

Is that Chaddy's Clayton le Moors flag?

Couldn't say who pur best player has been so far. All of them poor.

Travis on 2....yellow next. can see him getting sent off today

could be 3-2 to them open game

eeeeee awwwww

Unbelievable that Rothwell starts again. Useless. I wonder if we are playing a centre forward today or if its Arma and Gally out wide with the central void playing as the false 9 again.

This could really shake up the pyramid. Maybe its just natural progression despite the history of all these town clubs from nostalgic days long past. ? If you look at the reality of the modern game, Rovers are arguably in the 3rd division. We have a top half PL which is like D1 (PL1). Big money city teams. Then the bottom half PL sides and top of champ like D2 (PL2). Then rest of Champ plus a few big clubs lower down (D3). Some Champ clubs plus most below simply not viable as pro clubs. ?

Right now there is 1 play off place left and (arguably) 7 teams in contention. Given Preston's poor form I would say actually only 2 or 3 realistically in contention. Down the bottom there all 3 places still to be determined with 7 teams in the mix. Add Wigan into that now so 8. Wigan basically bottom now on 38 points but top of the form table. Competitive league. We got outplayed by Barnsley then Luton draw with Leeds.

Way back to the start of the season.... The target this season (as stated by the club) was progression measured by challenging for the play offs. Fact is if we finish 7th or 8th AND miss out by a point or 2 then we met the target. Play offs would be exceeding. Promotion we are simply nowhere near ready for. However finishing 10th on similar points to last season is a massive failure.

This is simply not correct. Pre virus, we were standing at minus £15million with FFP compliance. That was netted off in the budget by selling Dack who then got crocked. We are now minus £15.7 million. Owners cannot just bung in £700K. It needs to come from income. Methods of income are revenue from fans (nope), commercial revenue (nope) or player sales.

Including us.

Was about to post the same

significantly outplayed by bottom of the league.

Mowbray sat on the wall not even arsed. Time for those refunds Waggott.

Where was Lenihan for those 2 goals ?

telling yourself they are creative players. Creative players who don't create are not creative.

4 subs. He hasn't got a clue. It's a pre season friendly in Tony's head.

get to fuck

Need to get Rothwell off and Brereton on. Who is playing centre forward ? Nobody by the looks of it. We have made quite a lot of crosses but we have no centre forward playing. Need Arma and BB up top (central). Chapman and Samuel on the wings.
