Rovers away at Preston NE: 24th November 2018 - 3pm. The match thread.

[K-Hod]

People were hyping Williams and lamenting Bell, then Williams gifts them a goal. Funny old game.

Thoughts for Wigan?

Sadly, based on today's shambles, I have to go and endure.

 

Yet you’ll still predict we’ll smash them 4-1.

Tony Mowbray - Tactical pygmy.

Dack has had a total shocker.  Think he’s believing his own hype a bit too much these days.

I would agree

Oh FFS 4-1

[Tom]

This hasn’t gone to plan 

[K-Hod]

4-1 now, a bloody massacre against those thundercunts. 

TM has got some explaining to do. This really isn’t good enough.

[Husky]

Oooops! That greedy betting boss just got richer.

[DE.]

We can only hope this result acts as a major wake up call to the manager. It's been coming. He needs to stop fucking around and get serious. 

[G Somerset Rover]

JHC there needs to be an inquest after this. That’s no overreaction. Mr Brainiac needs to go back to basics - and fast or he’ll find himself being summoned to an actual meeting in India.

Pathetic. Bad choices for lineup and we'd lost it early doors

For god sakes man, don't ask him to make any predictions! Please!

Gut feeling says another Bristol City / Swansea today. North End in good form and our leaky defence won't be able to cope.

3-1 defeat

You were far too optimistic.

Smallwood should have played in goal and Raya in the midfield. To many round pegs in round holes

Tries to be too clever for his own good.

Said all along, he should have kept us up.  Got away with it last season as Div 1 now utter rubbish in stark contrast to when we had Gordon Lee and Howard Kendall getting us up from there. 

Almost at the half way point in the season and Brereton yet to start a league game.  Looks more and more like a clanger of a signing if he aint good enough to start in our team.

His Wigan selection promises to be another cracker, that’s for sure. Maybe Gladwin will be resurrected for the famed ‘false 9’ role?

[MarkBRFC71]

Team selection - wrong

Not buying a proper Championship level centre half in summer - wrong

Spunking £7m on a striker with potential when you needed a defender - wrong

Thinking you’re Pep Guardiola and Dack is the English Messi - wrong

Thinking that Williams is a Championship level LB - wrong

 

[USABlue]

Embarrassing, worry for me is we did not seem to have our usual spirit, never give in.  Like we gave up after we scored.  Cracks starting to show?  Very upset.

[Fraserkirky]

Lenihan hasn’t put a foot right all day

The only issue with that is this has happened already against a poor Bristol city side. It's not bring learned from.

[Proudtobeblue&white]

I feel for the fans that went in their droves. I said in my review TM would tinker, and not to start with a forward seems madness in the circumstances. He appears totally negative in so many games. A very poor result

I don't disagree. 

[Husky]

Let's hope Man Ure don't score or Preston could explode.
