I’ve seen enough of Leonard thanks, the truth is the lad isn’t good enough at the moment. I said Preston were solid, nothing more. It’s solid teams that play the percentages that win promotion

Me neither. Wouldn’t get near the team if he were at Preston

Good question. Our marquee summer striker signing and it’s November and he’s hardly been seen. What a waste of time

If we had Ched Evans or a player like him I’d agree. But we don’t. Dolan isn’t going to win many headers

Worst player for me was Sigurrdsson. just don't rate the lad. I'd take 7 or 8 of Preston's players - all big strong lads ideal for the Championship

With all due respects that's a daft post. He's one of the most naturally talented players I've seen in a Rovers shirt for years.

We had a good 20 minute spell in each half - and that's it We had much to fear because we had a makeshift defence that was always going to be vulnerable. And we lost to them again. Take the blue and white specs off, Preston were pragmatic and knew how to win

A big team of good 'uns will always beat a little team of the same. I wish we had players of Preston's size and stature. We have no one like Ched Evans

You were saying? You've much to learn

We look a tired team.

Potts is fast and strong, you'd want him in your team

Siggurdson robbed again. I've yet to see him play well

Preston a big team of rugged 6 footers against our little lads.... We'll do well to draw this

Should be 1-1 half time, Siggi such a simple chance

Lovely move.... hit the bar again

And there it is

Bad miss by Siggi

Preston should be one up.

I blame LiveScore

Siggi at left back… where’s Harry? This isn’t going to end well

Lovely post, great memories. I was lucky enough to meet Ronnie Clayton and Bobby Moore - they were "gentlemen" footballers from another generation, humble, respectful, different men and breed to the current mob. As for tonight, they've a good record against us in recent times and we've so many players missing I'll be happy with a draw.

Point of order: we are Rovers, never Blackburn There has always been a floating support in Lancs. We used to go and watch Burnley in the late 1960s and early 1970s, when Rovers were away or night matches, just to see some old First Division (Premier League) football. Always supported the opposition, mind....

Buckley is a skilful player like Rankin-Costello so I'd slot him into midfield in his place; we will miss JRC's creativity badly. Travis could then provide cover at right back. A combination of Travis and Garrett in midfield would not suit our passing game - that's not what they're good at. None of this ideal. The squad looked thin going into the season and it is well and truly exposed now. Injuries to any of Szmodics, Dolan and A Wharton now is unthinkable.

JRC’s long term absence is a huge blow - it can’t be overstated enough. He’s been outstanding over the past year or so. If it’s within the loan rules Buckley needs to be recalled from Sheffield Wednesday; the already thin squad is getting close to breaking point

They were better. The Leeds team of the 1960-70s was one of the best this country has produced. I loved watching them
