Preston at Home

[Mattyblue]

Big club in a small town as John Williams used to put it.

We should always be proud of the heritage and prestige of this football club.

Something the club itself needs to take more pride in, I believe.

Pressure mounting on TM now, this rut has to be addressed as I think a loss at home to this lot could prove the tipping point for many.

Sadly not the Indians, however.

He might start to get a few grumbles, but I don’t think he’s anywhere near losing the home support.

Lets hope we don’t need to test that theory today!

Having to go over to Wakefield for an annual work meeting and miss the game...got on the train from Blackburn about half an hour ago and 2 nearly full carriages of drunk Preston fans stumbled out.

Good to see them enjoying their big day out ?

First away game of the season for many of them.

Plastics.

Let’s hope Tony starts with a striker on the pitch for the first half this time, unlike his lamentable tactics at Deepdale.

The walk to Ewood in the wind and  rain will sober em up !!!

What kind of gate are we expecting for this?  Probably mentioned but haven't got the energy to plough threw 17 pages?

[Mattyblue]

12,500  home fans would be my guess, plus 7,500. So 20,000.

About 100 Preston 'lads' just been picked up by the police escort on the main road in Darwen.

A police escort? They'll be bragging about that to their mates at school on Monday.

That's their away travel club.

What an uninspiring team selection. Not a chance.

Rothwell should be out the door ASAP. What a waste. Running scared at Ewood before the whistle has even blown.

Looks like a back 4. Nyambe at CB. 

[Oldgregg86]

Bennett rb , nyambe cb, Evans Smallwood combo back together, 8 defenders. Same old same old

[Tom]

So after all the bluster Rodwell drops out through injury and he drops Travis and Bell

That'll show em!

[den]

That’s a disappointing team. No pace anywhere.

[K-Hod]

Evans and Smallwood ?.

[Swanson]

Awful team...

I agree and it should be made compulsory reading for the players before each and every game so they know who and what they represent 

[Oldgregg86]

It's simple. 8 defenders at home to Preston. The minimum I expect is a clean sheet .

I had a a feeling he would revert to Smallwood and Evans. I was actually thinking he would go with Smallwood and Bennett(a few smart Alecs laughed at that suggestion) 

Is Rodwell definitely injured? If not, he is surely off

It's a weak looking defence, that's for sure. 

Could finish 3-3 this, or worse for us 

[Tom]

Need to win today, Mowbray will deservedly come under fire if we lose after that selection.

[Oldgregg86]

I'd say he can't afford to lose with that line up
