I don't think he did much wrong today - he set us up well (3 CBs to deal with their physicality) and we nullified them. You can't really account for your GK gifting them 2 goals.

Think that's just who he is as a manager. He'll be a positive affirmation guy - personally I'd be throwing teacups at the players in the dressing room, but he'll be telling them all to keep their chins up.

I thought we nullified them - albeit it wasn't a pretty game of football. Our GK just gifted them 2 goals and everyone knows we have nothing to turn to on the bench - heads went down when the third went in 'cos they knew a Szmodics hattrick was unlikely.

They only sang when they were winning - poor effort.

Down 3-1, Markanday (I think) plays a ball into the near post for a tap in. Gallagher pulls out of it. A #9 takes ball and all into the back of the net there.

I should have stuck to my conviction and refused to go to Ewood Park again whilst Pears started in net for us. He cost us against Ipswich and he gave away two calamitous goals again today. He can't play for us again.

I don't mind selling players on - you have to understand your place in the food chain - but the transfer funds generated need to be reinvested into the playing squad. At the moment they're solely going into running costs. You also have to get as much as you can out of the deal - you can't just give them away because a PL club comes calling.

PNE gifting another 3 points to a team in the relegation struggle. What a joke team they are.

We should be all over Rotherham's GK. Offer them Pears and £500k.

How he's not got that team promoted automatically is beyond me - and Swansea are suing him for breach of contract. What a guy.

And a goal disallowed for offside too (their fans ran on the pitch). Wonderful stuff. I had them down as taking all 3 there so that's about as good a result as we could have expected.

Have I mentioned how much I hate PNE? Pointless team.

Need a Rotherham result here, 'cos Huddersfield will fold now and they still have to play Birmingham.

That's got to be Huddersfield gone, right?

Shocking defending, but a great finish.

The bottom of the PL is objectively terrible. About 6 clubs deserve to go down.

This can't be the same Sorba Thomas that played for us - his delivery into the box is fantastic.

Him, Goodwillie, Ferguson - maybe we should just stop signing Scots?

And I hope Lancs don't pay him.

You can always count on PNE to finish with a whimper somewhere in midtable.

Like the 5 sub rule - fundamentally changing the fabric of the game to benefit the bigger, richer clubs.

Outside of cup games against lower league opposition, we haven't this season.

We drew against Rotherham and Huddersfield at home, lost to QPR at home and lost to Huddersfield away all within a few weeks. JDT was literally taking us down.

We're £25m richer though, which is the main thing for our CEO.

Exciting, perhaps, but the quality is dire.
