Punishing the lower clubs is fine but we need to beat the likes of B'mouth, Norwich, Brentford, etc to show we are serious contenders.

Preston 3-0. Football defies logic sometimes

Poor performance but good win. Take that any day over the other way round as has been usually the case. Hope Wharton and Douglas are ok. Bell was ok but will always make a costly mistake. Now let’s make it 3 on the bounce against millwall

I guess some folk have standards, and others don't.

edit double post

Says it all. I don't mind discrete ones which are normally hidden by clothing but the full body tattoos covering arms, neck etc are appalling IMO. I don't understand why anyone would do it - they're not attractive and look worse as people get older. I were an employer and someone turned up for an interview covered in tattoos they'd be crossed off the list straightaway. Each to their own I suppose.

Not sure about that Tyrone. Kenny Dalglish was a great goalscorer but like all the best players if he saw someone (usually Ian Rush) in a better position he always passed the ball.

Pele scored 77 goals in 92 international appearances for Brazil. That's awful lot of misses in "tinpot" football. . For me, it's who I enjoyed watching, not just the goals or the brilliance, but the beauty of the movement. Pele and Eusebio were beautiful to watch, as is Cristiano Ronaldo in modern football..... it's just something in the way they move.

Will always be a cheat. Among the top 10 players but several better than him ...... 2 of them currently playing. Sad for his family but no one else

Brereton was a revelation to me....clearly enjoying his football at the moment, his delight at setting up Dolan' goal was good to see.

Total opposite to the Luton game when we looked weak and ineffective..... why can't Mowbray get the team to play like that more often?

Cassandra strikes..... that's a nailed-on Preston win then

Johnson omitted?

Ayala's like a classic car..... looks good but inevitably comes with alot of maintenance problems. I don't think the Rovers medical staff are at fault n this case. Rovers knew they were taking on a bit of an old banger when they signed him.

They'll always be halves in my book renrag.

We've made jokes about Mowbray and his pension fund but there must be a serious side and an element of truth to it ......he will have added a good seven figure sum to his already likely substantial pot while he's been at Ewood. I'm sure his pension adviser will have worked out that if he can eke out another 18 months he will be able to enjoy a very lucrative and comfortable retirement indeed.

I'd say it was divided into 2 halves - you can't see the shirt from both sides at the same time after all. Is the Bristol Rovers shirt divided into eighths? It's been done to death but still splits the fans! Back to PNE anyway. About time we beat them

Have to pick you up on the "quarters" Bazza. Always halves to me

Yet another soft goal given away by poor defending and the surprise was we actually equalised. Poor performance overall and typical of a mid-table side that's going nowhere.

Gawd, here we go again. Every game is difficult to Tony. Excuses already in place. Luton 2 Rovers 0

No comment required !

My memory of Green was that we rejected him as not being good enough....might be wrong though

I was sitting in the Nuttall Stand that night ....... it was literally shaking! Never forget the swaying of the crowd on the Riverside.... how those barriers held up I'll never know. 42,000 on Ewood!

That place is now a Co-op.....how can a great pub like that go under/

Luton were a decent First Division out fit under Pleat in the 1980s. The Futcher and Stein brothers played for them - good players. Saw them lose to Arsenal in the League Cup final around 1985 I agree with your post though. The likes of Bournemouth, Watford, Brighton, Crystal Palace etc , to me are third and fourth division clubs playing way above their level. To fans of a certain age it seems incredible to see them in the top flight while clubs such as Sunderland, Sheffield Wednesday, Middlesbrough, proud Preston, Birmingham and Forest langusih.
