That is the second home game in a row that I’ve walked out early. The scoreline flattered us. The midfield was once again major issue. You could have drove a 747 through it today. I honestly believe it’s down to the way we’re set up. We’re far too wide as a unit. We also created very little. If things don’t change, we’re in a relegation battle. JDT is increasingly looking like he’s out of his depth. I get the sense he’s trying to play something the squad isn’t capable of.

Sack him... bring in Klopp and let’s see what he can do with one of the lowest budgets in the league. ? Should have won, but the backline hasn’t been good enough.

There’s an audio choice, under the settings button.

Suspect we’ll see Dolan towards the end, alongside Benno.

Ref has ruined that half for me!

Anyone having Ifollow issues?

My all time favourite!

Memories of Andy Todd...

Amoruso- I don’t think I’ve seen a slower defender. Jayson Leutwiler is probably the worst keeper I’ve seen playing for us, but I’m too young to remember Alan Fettis, which a chap at work has mentioned! He’s coaching in Man Utd’s set-up now though, according to Wikipedia.... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Fettis My all time top crap player though is Etuhu. The bloke was an absolute waste of space. Those mentioned above might have been crap, but at least they tried!

We have progressed though. Try and downgrade it as much as you want, we’ve done better than last year.

I’ve said before and I’ll say it again, we need a proper keeping coach. The bloke we’ve got has never even played the game professionally. Walton’s a good keeper but he won’t progress with who’s training him.

Stay- the lowest we can finish in the top half the table, which is better than last year’s finish of 15th. Whatever you say, that’s progress. The best case scenario? 8th. I think we have the right to expect a top 6 finish next season though, unless we have a bad summer window.

Has the sound just disappeared on anyone else’s? Edit- we are back!

Fowler was ridiculously unfit when he arrived, and well past it. From that era, Amoruso was bloody awful too- never seen such a slow defender! Looking to more recent times, Paul Taylor, Paul Caddis, Chris Brown and Wes Brown anyone? Lots of shouts for Fettis, but I would strongly argue Leutwiler is the worst keeper I’ve ever seen between our sticks. Then again, I’m too young to remember Fettis!

Whilst I agree with FFP being unfair, I couldn’t disagree more about clubs not being bailed out- look at all of League 2 and 1, bar a few cases, there is absolutely no one going to come in and throw money at those clubs because it makes absolutely no financial sense. There could well be some fan owners be willing to chuck money like it’s no object, but you’re not seriously suggesting 71 millionaires/ billionaires, who each support a different club, in The Football League are you? There wasn’t before FFP was introduced and with the current impending economic crisis, if FFP was scrapped, there sure won’t be now. This is serious- clubs outside the top flight are in trouble if this season isn’t finished.

I can’t see this happening. My understanding is he drives to and from his family home everyday. Add to the fact he’s already managed up there and has- at this moment- an outside chance of managing in the top flight with us next year, surely it’s no go. Mowbray has a lot to thank us for too- his managerial career was pretty much finished until we took him on. I remember my Bolton mate laughing his head off, when he took over from Coyle...

Interesting tweets (more available if clicked on) about PNE’s finances. They owe Trevor Hemmings a total of £47 million.

Unreal the position we’re in considering the list injuries we have. Mowbray has been forced to stop mixing the team up though because of it, so maybe it’s a blessing in disguise. Next week’s the big one. If we win, I’ll start getting excited.

Yes but needs to work with a decent goalkeeping coach, who’s played the game.

What do you expect with all the injuries? Our budget isn’t exactly massive if you compare it to others too. Opted for the radio and the fire tonight after a long day at work, rather than freezing at Ewood- we sound well on top, but unable to convert a chance.

No, and nor was I expecting us to this year. Before the season started, I’d have happily taken a top half finish this year, and I stand by that.

Tell them to get rid of the bloody goal music, and put the away fans back downstairs. Both have killed off an atmosphere which had improved.

Completely disagree- they’re insignificant to us because of the hatred we have towards Burnley. The 6 fingered lot are the only rivals for me. A couple of decent seasons this decade is nothing over time, and the support we have in west Lancashire tells you that. Preston spent years floating around Division 3 and 4, whilst we were playing our football at the top level.

I can’t see it making a blind but if difference with the keeping coach we’ve got.
