Hear hear! Can’t stand that attitude it’s the attitude Mowbray had, remember that 1st round against Wigan we didn’t bother so we expected us to really focus on promotion and we still fucked it go back to 2002 the cup was probes seen as a distraction by many alike this poster even in a relegation battle most the season and we won the league cup that actually kicked us on from there And we finished midtable in the end 06/07 did well in Europe, narrowly knocked out by the best team to drop out the champions league yet still got to the fa cup semis again unlucky to not win that and we finished 10th a win tonight will give everyone a huge boost and another quarter final where we could draw a big home or away Tie, imagine getting city or Liverpool down ewood full house ? Or even at their place ? Should always respect the cups they can turn a boring season into a decent one

Don’t get the moaning ? Eustace first objective is to keep us up regardless of brand of football, people were moaning about jdt’s football and rightly so that got us nowhere, you can’t play city style with championship or lower standard players, plus intense training system that has clearly contributed to ridiculous amount of injuries, also on top of that he moaned about needing experience yet loaned two of them out who are also academy lads cause he had fallen out with them then he’s gone a month later so travis sitting on the Ipswich bench is a waste when we need him now more than ever, Buckley coming back is a god send cause imagine if he never got injured in Sheffield and was still there ? Our midfield would be piss weak only tronsdad as a decent player. First thing any manager worth his salt knows is you tighten up your defence then worry about the other areas that’s what he’s doing. we ain’t gonna see the best of eustace until next season, it’s about getting the basics back and building the foundation to move forward, Travis back in summer to reunite with Buckley is already gonna make our midfield look a lot better, biggest thing I criticise jdt for is leaving us short cause of his ego, Travis as option could have seen us best Preston alone. gilesnan is a long term replacement for szmodics too. the 532/352 is what’s best suited to us, we’ve no decent out and out wingers to play a winger system our squad is bette suited to wing backs, brittain and Pickering are not the best defensively especially on a consistent basis so they tend to look better knowing they have that cover to be able to do their attacking roles. Gallagher stays on then we need a couple strikers, you look at why pne are solid in this league and flirt with play offs a bit is cause they have 4 decent goalscorers as strikers that’s what’s gathered my attention and what we need, Dolan isn’t good enough in any position tbh or at least his consistency is poor so I would rid of him n the summer for cash, Leanord Garret, semir needs loans out, deadwood like Markanday out too. I don’t know about you guys but would like to see mcfadzean stay on as player defence coach beyond the summer which leaves us with defensive options Wharton, hyam, Carter, o’riordan, mcfadzean which is much healthier than over the last so many years and well balanced

Harsh on Leanord he’s a good goalscorer chips in with a few just needs further experience so needs a loan, semir is another brereton it’s gonna take him time to get up to scratch

Nobody else think our injury record is down to jdt and his over working ? Intense play intense training system and 6 day training week ? Obviously has took a toll on this team all season

One things for sure a 352/532 is best for us seen as we have no out and out quality wingers and brittain looks better as a wing back so he’s not relied upon to do both trades and hedges holds his own at wing back

It strictly true in regards to getting results at deepdale we haven’t lost there in the last 4 visits, last year we only drew cause of a freak OG we win 4-1 and 3-0 before then lost 3-2 and 4-1 3-2 the years before and won 2-1 before that, our record at deepdale is t bad at all it’s ewood where we struggle but Preston are a bogey who 8/10 get undeserved results against us, the only times you can say fair enough is when we lost 4-1 all the others they didn’t deserve what they got, again at ewood the only time they deserved the result they got was the 4-1 which was cause we was that bad the rest they either scabbed an undeserved win or even draw they get the rub of the green a lot against us

Jdt has fucked us by getting rid of trav only to leave a month later when we could have done with Travis especially today, Garret came on meant holes in the middle appeared which allowed Preston freedom which lead to the goals. Eustace just has to get results, he has no time until the international break to put any of his ways onto the team so it’s about just getting results, don’t think we will see the true ways until next season, like with Birmingham he came in stabilised even then had then Sitting pretty until the yanks had a blunder. Buckley coming back may just give us that boost too. the court case is next month so hopefully the Indian government sting the venkys into enforcement of selling us

Great to see Buckley and Wharton are back Saturday, too early for Buckley to start I’d imagine but would like to see Wharton slot into his best position on the left of a back three hedges at wing back

As said above I’ve never know a rovers side to be so soft, easy for bang average teams like Preston to bully us, this team lacks spine. We’ve lost our real creative source too and not replaced him which is what makes things look even greyer, not optimistic about this at all, our derby record has been piss poor since we got relegated to the championship originally. Preston are by no means a good side but are organised and hard working but as pointed out above again they would be more suited to playing jdt, this is the game that will really show how the new coach really is, taking these gobshites down a peg or two on Saturday would be a real statement

Exactly they are a shitbouse team always have been, at ewood we battered them yet they still manage to shithouse it, only twice since we started playing them again in 2015 you could say they deserved the win which was the two 4-1’s but we was piss poor in both so not hard, the rest they haven’t deserved any of the results they have had against us. Very true that this game would suit them more against jdt, Birmingham played some good stuff but they are a better footballing side than Preston, Preston are just typical championship cloggers and grafters, poor side in terms of quality but know how to grind a win. a pne fan I know says they can only play for 60 minutes before they tire so I said it reminded me of mowbrays rovers… we could never do 90 minutes under him

Yeap knobbers are as fickle as they come, lowe has been in a constant cycle of out and in, they get a few games together he’s the best thing then they will go on a lose a few and he’s awful

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 nah he will be wanking over the venky three way

Chrisene joins the long list of pitiful loans, Ayari is clearly pointless too

This is utterly pathetic! Starting from piss poor defending by brittain

Hedges frustrates the hell out of me… really good one game the next dire
