The average age of the Preston team was over 27 years of age three of our lads are over thirty

I think a draw was a fair result in this case and that both teams showed good and bad sides during this match. I think the Rovers lads showed grit and determination in the second half which was something that some of the forum suggested they didn't have.

indeed so...... nice peaceful day no trouble and may the best team win...

I think you may be in for a pleasant surprise, one extra days rest after Preston had a lot of running about against boro and now with a number of injuries......

As previously stated i wouldn't ever take any PERSONAL satisfaction out of victory due to two main points... one -i wasn't playing two - my season ticket money has no real outcome on our spending and i have no involvement in the running of my team off the pitch either I find supporters that make comments and appear to take some sort of personal satisfaction as if they have anything to do with their team as rather strange, especially those that make fun of others. Probably the type of people who take the mickey out of people less advantaged then them .. But on the other hand i find that a lot of the Rovers lot are great people and have great points of view and are able to make them on two sites the forum and the telegraph. Also as my personal history is that my Grand Father and his father where Rovers i have no issues with them and often imagine of both sometimes together getting down to Ewood in the olden days..

Hayden Carter Injury: The centre-back was suspended against Norwich but picked up a hamstring strain against Chelsea. What JDT said: "Hayden Carter is banned but he also got injured in the game against Chelsea. He will be out for two to three weeks."

Would you then not describe the two goals that Preston scored as both things of absolute beauty?

I am not sure he did know my mate ..but clearly you do so if you can take a couple of moments to fill the lad in that be great

No i a have no issue with anybody asking a question in fact i enjoy the fact that you have taken the time to ask me th question. I also enjoy reading other fans opinions as is often the case it appears that the football fan in general and the difference of opinions on the same subject are so varied they are almost impossible to understand.

Reg of the Rovers3 hrs ago All football teams are a image of their manager. PNE are physical, in your face, take the shortest route to goal, adapt tactics to the team they are playing. Not an admirer of Lowe, not my cup of tea, another scouser in your face, but a passionate winner, who shows his emotions on the touch line. Lowe does not moan about his budget or injuries. His budget is less than that of Rovers, his injuries on a comparison. Has anyone seen JDT do a interview yet without mentioning his 'young team, his low budget, Rovers injuries, NO, me neither. JDT gives his side excuses to lose, not so Lowe. Rovers side mirror their Coach/manager persona. Bland, passive, little backbone , little resilience, a rookie team with a rookie coach. That is why Rovers have lost 5 Championship games at home already , long before Christmas. On the other hand we could have Wayne Rooney, god forbid ? You can have all the tippy tappy football you want, all the procession you want, play out from the back ALL the game to your hearts content. But it is not, and will not produce winning football , Lowe knows that , JDT does not. Never forget we are not ' Bloody Barcelona ' ? So you have a different thought process to this chap of the telegraph?

Thank you for pointing that percentage out to me. How do you think that now sits you in the championship spending table?

which point then is not valid?

As a Preston North End i do not agree with my club captain view i believe that on another day Blackburns younger team could have easily won by a few goals......I believe that Blackburns manager one day manage at the highest level with top top players.

how did you feel the match went?

You mean a fellow old lad from Lancashire engaging with other like minded fans from Lancashire with the same love football.... A fellow old lad willing to engage even with people off limited intelligence and with some sort of internet bravado....

I think to be fair if you take a look at the vlogs from the Blackburn fans you will see that THIS derby means a lot to a lot of people, Preston and ROVERS. You get the odd anomaly type who likes to be different and have some sort of superior thoughts about themselves and there particular club....... Did the Penwortham girl see sense....

Really could you take the time to point any such issues out that would be great as expected your unable to do this then good luck for the rest of your life....

Do you not believe the club benefit from the goals each scored?

Out of interest what do you Rovers fans think you r budget has decreased by to have such upset in the ranks?

It doesn't but if i may remind you you did finish above us last season playing just that football.

I think your clutching at straws on this one even your fans are telling you it was on side...

I have to be honest and off course your entitled to an opinion as the right of all person(s) but i didn't really see a lot wrong friday night what i would add though is that i thought Blackburn where very good at fouling to disrupt play up the pitch to stop the counter. I think it is a klopp invention but i may be wrong.

If i was a Rovers fan i wouldn't be to despondent after last nights performance and i would not be to harsh on the manager. If you are to be rational and look at the play with a depleted squad then we would all admit that last night Rovers could have easily won the game. If you can get your players back in playing a style that is great on the eye then you have as much chance of getting into the play offs as anybody. (note i didn't say us as i do not feel we have the capability as yet) I accept that on another night Preston could have taken their chances and maybe won by more i have seen the xg figures but the feeling i got from the game was that both teams created chances in both halves but we took one more chance you did,. The game appeared to go one way than another with each team controlling periods of play after Preston scored it looked like in boxing terms that they were looking for the knock out and then after half time Blackburn came out of the blocks and scored and nearly blew the game away with some fast exchanges of passing and movement. Towards the end we looked good and in the end took one more chance than you did.

I think you will find that on this occasion that appears to be factually incorrect. if you go to the following page scroll down you will see a video that is perfect from the Rovers end that will evidence clearly that no to be the case.
