Preston 1-0 up at Charlton. Effective at defending a lead and running the clock down. Players down for soft fouls and injuries left right and centre. Stockley went down easily for the penalty. 

No nonsense and fancy ideals. Just sensible and effective.

Its an absolute outrage that Mowbray had Reed plugging away (often ineffectively) out wide because "he didnt know the position." I dont think I've seen anyone this season bar Kalvin Phillips in this l

What?! Do you not remember them relegating us pretty much singlehandedly? They lost to crappy Bristol 4-0, and then put out such a woeful youth team that Arry's Brum beat them with 10 men. S

Bennett always comes across as a class act to me, sure he’s had a nibble back a couple of times when people have tweeted directly at him but he’s within his rights to do so. I wouldn’t have his a

They remind me of Burnley when they got promoted. Nothing brilliant just consistent and put together relatively cheaply with astute transfers.

Name of the game is consistency in selection and approach. Mowbray tries keeping everyone happy to our detriment. You get a winning formula and stick to it. Don't try to be clever keep trying different things.

Not good for Rovers if Preston do make the Prem,we will be sandwiched by them and Burnley roughly 10 miles either side..our catchment area will shrink to nowt.

It already is when the club itself doesn't look any further than Darwen

How fucking embarrassing to see the nobbers at the top of the league. Managers eh?

Yup, this league is here for the taking. Burnley, Preston, they're unspectacular but organized with an unremitting work-rate. You obviously need the technical ability on the pitch and tactical nous in the dugout but those qualities can take you a long way.

Don’t worry, with Mowbray’s football and Waggott’s initiatives we’ve got things in hand.

Seriously though, the nobbers in the PL would be unbearable. Meanwhile we plod along, hoping to stay in the division.

We had the whip hand and were virtually unchallenged in the area some 10 years ago..we have lost so much ground it's unreal and frightening to boot.

It really is. Rovers were the premier team in Lancashire for as long as I can remember. My football supporting days started as a kid in the early 80's. Rovers were always in higher divisions than Burnley, PNE, Bolton, and Blackpool. Stanley were a non-league side for many years so weren't even a factor. 

Fast forward to today; Burnley look like they are staying up for another season (implosion notwithstanding), PNE are top of the Championship (for now). Stanley are fighting another season in League 1 with Blackpool sniffing around the playoffs in the same league. Only Bolton are worse off. They are also a side who had a decent few Prem years followed by decline.

What a difference an owner change makes.

Expect Stoke to appoint 1 of these 3 managers. Mick Mccarthy, Alan Pardew or Martin O'Neill..

Just my opinion(no inside info)

You think so Chaddy ? If I were a Stoke fan I'd be hoping for better than that. If Mowbray were to walk in front of the proverbial No 17 bus I wouldn't be over the moon about those three.

It really is down to selection of manager isn't it? Under Venkys we've invariably taken the cheap option and ironically its cost the owners a fortune.

One good decision and we'd be up now. Very few clubs spending on players like we have but sadly, the wrong players!

Preston's example should open the owners' eyes if they were normal. Unfortunately.....

McCarthy might just be the kind of appointment they need right now. It's got to be about staying in the championship above anything else, surely?

Rovers had tend to go Cheap option but I felt Lambert would have done very well here if he had been longer..

Preston are good example. WBA also with good signings and proper structure imo
