They’ve not won away in the league since August lol.

Pickering and Leo at fault there. I mentioned on another thread that a nervous keeper will lead to nervous defenders.

And back behind we go

I’d be happy with an experienced keeper and a striker. I agree with bringing in LB cover but not sure the lad from Brighton was needed. Horvath would be a very good loan signing and I would agree that Leo going out on loan would be good. I’ve had to bite my lip a lot over the last few pages as there have been some ridiculous posts from our resident happy clapper. However we still have time to rescue this window. Fix the glaring issue up front and in goal and we could still have a decent season, ignore it and we could be in trouble. A nervous keeper leads to a nervous back line. Defenders like a strong presence behind them and we clearly don’t have that.

Why would Hill get involved tomorrow and then not be able to play for Bournemouth in the FA Cup. Seems strange.

Of course chaddy thinks it a great move to loan our captain to a team pushing for promotion.

Rooney got the job over a beer with the owners at the SuperBowl. Was never popular choice with the fan base. They are hoping for Cooper, Carsley or Eustace. I’ve mentioned Jordan Jones on here a lot in the past. Looks like he’s off to Serie A with Atalanta. Wanted us to go for him when he was out of their starting line up. Followed his career as he lived down the road from me and went to the same school as my daughter now attends.

He’s pulled his shirt. It’s a yellow, it’s soft but it’s a yellow.

Jordan James is starting to look like the player I always thought he would be. He’s local to me and went to the same school as my daughter. One I wanted us to look at when he was breaking through. Regular for wales now and will be one to watch tomorrow. Results tonight would mean 3 points takes us above PNE and on the brink of the play off spots.

Afternoon booked off work and hoping to be at Ewood nice and early for a few beers 🙂

I’m looking forward to this one but not looking forward to getting the train back to Preston from Mill Hill after the game. I’m guessing it’s going to be an absolute nightmare tbf!

Whalstadt is a long way off where he needs to be. Shot stopping is generally ok but he can’t catch a cross.

A blind man and his dog can see that Leo doesn’t want the ball at his feet. He’s nervous as anything and we are going to end up with him making a mistake leading to a goal. We’ve got a makeshift back 4 so stop inviting pressure on it!!

Is there no VAR today?

When is Pears back? Asking for a friend….

Great win that although it’s not the fortress of years gone by and we have a great record against them. If you had to pick an away game for us it’s probably the one you’d pick 🙂 But even on the back of that, turning our season around after a bad run has been impressive. We’ve got a half decent home fixture this weekend and a chance to build some confidence before some tricky games get put in the mix.

4 visiting teams have won there already this season lol.

Is this where we say, would Pears have saved that one?

Birmingham have sacked Eustace. Madness but he was favourite for the Rangers job so wonder if it was a result of asking to speak to them or something. Can’t be on form this season as they are doing well. Rooney being linked.

They are walking through our midfield time after time.

That team is very weak. Not a tackle to be seen in that midfield. Needed one of Garratt, Trav or even Tronstad in there to get a foot in. Can see us getting hammered here unfortunately 😞

I’d take Andros on a free. He’s only 32 at the end of the day. Still got something to offer.

Russell Martin has done nothing to have this reputation he appears to have. They have conceded more goals than anyone in the league and added another 3 to the against column this half.

£5m for the Raya sell on clause is interesting. Higher than people had thought on here. Thought he spoke very well and explained the Ash situation clearly. They could have given him more games but didn’t feel it was right.

Not sure I would have played Hyam but I suppose the international break is coming up and he’s not going away with Scotland.
