It would be horrible to lose Adam Wharton so soon in his career.. Phil Jones all over again. Wharton IMO isn't as far ahead in his development as Jones at this stage and would benefit from another season at least with Rovers. If we somehow win promotion this year it will be another incentive for him stay. If he does move, from a playing point of view IMO he should avoid a "big" club where he is likely at first to spend alot of time sitting on the bench. But in the end money will talk.

Sometimes, after all the debate about tactics, substitutions, team formation, game management, the manager etc etc, this is what it boils down to. Better players would not have conceded that last minute Preston goal. A better player than Hedges would not have attempted a pathetic chip into the the keeper's arms and conceded possession and better players would have closed out the game and against Coventry It's the small errors that cost you, such as Brereton standing offside near the halfway line that led to Coventry's last attack. Better players do not make these kind of mistakes Tomasson has made mistakes too but has done well with a limited squad that has had little recent investment. Ultimately, we need better quality players

Souness loved blaming "lady Luck" and you have to say we haven't had the rub of the green in recent weeks. Let's hope our luck turns on Tuesday but the players do need to concentrate better when we're under pressure. The catalogue or errors that led to Preston's goal should never have happened, and it's not the first time this season we've been caught out.

Sir Les Patterson, the “face of Australian culture”, probably didn’t go down well with the notoriously sensitive natives 😁😁. An original performer and always watchable over many years.

Better than last year yes and Mowbray’s ridiculous implosion but it will still be incredibly disappointing if we miss out on the playoffs having been in the top 6 for most of the season. Just a bit better late game concentration in the past 2 games and we would be 4 points better off now. It’s so frustrating and it could be made worse and the season effectively ended by the biggest insult of all with Burnley winning the title at Ewood on Tuesday

That's how you lose out on promotion......

Tomasson's changes strike again....... 4 points surrendered in 2 games

Big Red Bus ...... here we go. If it's working why change it?

Tomasson subs ..................................................NO

Brilliant goal........ now hold on please

Woodburn on... seem to remember him scoring against us?

Stick Dack on for 15 mins.....he knows where the goal is

Still trying to walk it in the net.............clucking shoot!

Embarrassing

JRC has to hit the target....

Trying to walk it the net...... please shoot

0-0 half time. It's difficult to see us scoring.

Rubbish from Dolan... caused a big problem now

Where is a Rovers goal coming from?

We keep aiming balls at their centre half who is always standing alone and just sends the ball back Why?

Dolan final pass......eurgh.

Coventry fans were a menace on this site both times after we were relegated from the Premier League. I don't know what it is about them - they seem to dislike us.

You don't want to go down that rabbit hole. It was a bad idea in the 1960s and it's a bad idea now. It would never work. We're lucky to live in an area where, because of football history, there are so many football league clubs.

Same with Rovers away fans, constant anti-Burnley chants. It's boorish and boring, and certainly isn't healthy

Bad sporting night. First the devastating result from Ewood and then I watched the Boston Red Sox get hammered at home by the Minnesota Twins. The baseball fans at Fenway Park were not happy but at least the beer and the burgers were good 😊 Realistically you have to say the playoffs are gone now. We don’t score enough goals and if we can’t hang on to a one goal lead against Coventry we certainly won’t against fired up local rivals in Lancashire derbies.
