Mowbray said this week that Armstrong would be put out on the wing too if we sign a striker in January. Bonkers.

He’s trolling us. Just sign a winger you thick barstool.

It's been dark all day.

Bauer stands on someone's head and just not a problem apparently. Par the course.

[OldEwoodBlue]

Arma misses another sitter.

We are presently the best side.

hope we don't regret these misses second half.

He's pretty good on the wing for me. Regularly creates and scores. Can virtually always beat his man.  Much rather have him there than Gallagher.

Anyone holding any hope we come away with a  win here? Cant see it personally 

I'd say we've been the better of the two teams, had a few chances at least.

Have to agree. I see the idea with Gallagher on the wing. Have a guaranteed out ball, push the other side back line deep, someone who comes in central for crosses from the left and scores at the back post. But we've done it for six months and it absolutelu, resolutely hasn't worked.

Why do we persist?

Yes, but this is totally at odds with this passing out from the back style he reckons he's implemented.

Because Mowbray is not a good manager. Backed himself into a corner by spending so much money on him and has to bury his head and carry on, praying that it will just magically come good.

 

It won't.

[Husky]

I wonder when the Stockley hoofball will start.

[USABlue]

I am sorry it just does not set well with me when we are going forwards our tallest forward runs to the right wing, makes no friggin sense to me.

[joey_big_nose]

Like most of our games we look the better side across the team. Nyambe, Lenihan, Armstrong have all been very good. Only real issue is Gallagher on the right being so utterly pointless.

Graham on for Gally, bring him central, play Holtby or Armstrong right.

 

[Fraserkirky]

Armstrong is having a great game for me, causing serious problems with his pace through the middle.

Really hope there are no scouts watching Nyambe today.

Well. We dominated most of the play after they scored. Bit of a positive. We didn't carve tons of chances out of it though. Enough that we could be in the lead now though.

Preston are giving the ball away with alarming regularity. I suppose we should take some credit for closing them down to help that along.

Last game where Preston went direct we got totally mullered. Different back line today though so hopefully can handle it.

Lenihan to stick his nut on Stockley

Eww.

[USABlue]

CAN'T BELIEVE no Nob End player in the book.  REF playing right into their hands with the spoiling tactics.  Rovers definitely best side BUT I can still see us losing this one.  I just can not see why Mobary persists with Gally out side, he's getting under Nyambe's feet half the time.

Holtby has played pretty well, I wouldn’t move him. 
 

Gallagher is a waste of a place, may as well have ten men. Can’t hold it up, doesn’t win headers, can‘t pass. Useless. 
 

We miss Dack, we are a well below average team without him. To think we were going to actually sell him is madness. Especially since if our dimwit manager was allowed to spend the funds created(probably wouldn’t anyway). 

[Husky]

Is anyone else dreading Preston's good half?

How the hell are these lot play-off contenders? They've been awful aside from a bit of a flukey shot.

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

No bookings is a joke.  Gallagher in the wing is a joke.

Armstrong looked lively.

I think some of our fans are wishing they could black out rovers this afternoon 

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Cant see this finishing 1-1.  

Hopefully we win 3-1 and move above them alphabetically!

 

 

 

We won't though.

[Husky]

I'll keep saying it..

Tories Three Down.

[Blueandwhitemike]

 

Should be ahead and Gallagher on the wing apart we've played quite well.

PNE have been awful, goal part, 57% passing accuracy!  

We need to keep on them, don't let them into the game second half.
