I really would, if I was Mowbray be telling my players to verbally attack this idiot. Every set play I would have players in his ear looking for a reaction. In truth Mowbray probably feels sorry for him ??.

 

Agreed. But Neil will probably pull him off if he gets too much abuse...which he'd probably enjoy!

[USABlue]

Gallagher? Pfft.

[Aqualung]

What's young Elliot done wrong to be benched?

The bad news is that both Stockley and Pearson are likely to start. Fisher will be banned unless they appeal before 6pm today.

 

Well I got all three of them wrong, although Stockley's on the bench. Apparently Fisher had until 6pm to appeal but if he didn't his 3 match ban starts on Saturday.

Maybe Mowbray doesn't want him being kicked up in the air by Preston's dirty dogs.

Might have had a phone call from Liverpool.

For once I think Mowbray has got this decision right.  Nobbers are bully’s and maybe coming  on for last 20 mins or so will suit him.

[RoversClitheroe]

How does Trybull start tonight. 

Buckley's last app warranted a run in.

How the hell Gallagher starts is beyond me. 

And I say that because Gallagher will be wasted on the wing yet again.

[Paul Mellelieu]

Elliot is 17 and will need a rest.  Trybull is the closest we have to a defensive midfielder.

Apart from poor Gally, and poss Ayala, it's the line-up TM was looking for when he made those signings.

He has decided to try to overpower Preston with a more direct game. 

I think Elliott is unlucky, but he needs to be creating and scoring more goals in TMs eyes, and has allowed himself to be dragged down to our level a bit, recently. 

Unless he's poorly or carrying a slight knock, Elliott would have worked really well in this line-up, he plays better when alongside Holtby. 

We need to find some way of being clinical when Armstrong doesn't score, and I really can't see where that will come from, although our collective strength will occasionally blow away a poor team, as we have seen. 

We all know that we usually don't win when Gally starts, but here's to a change of luck, it may be his last chance in 2020.

COYMB!!!!!

I bet Liverpool had a word about us running their 17 year old starlet into the ground.

But I'll bet he makes an appearance tonight unless Brereton or Gallagher have blinders, which I doubt! 

[SBlue]

Gally nailed on to score again tonight, I can feel it.

He had a good game at theirs last season as I recall.

[Mercer]

Family who are big PNE fans running very scared about tonight.

Strong gut feel we will run out winners.

Nice win on the nags today at 6/1 so 'reinvesting' on Rovers' win (£40 @ 7/4) and more than 3.5 goals (£20 @ 5/2).

Im the opposite. If we lose I purposely stay away from here. Would rather spend a night in Strangeways. 

[Doug]

Can't fault the selection with what's available. Elliot looked like he needed a break on Saturday. Very happy to see Holtby ang Rothy starting. Come on Rovers

Cassandra predicted things correctly but was never believed. 

[Oldgregg86]

Nothing but a win is acceptable. Johnson always tears us a new one so expect him to get mom. Gallagher in the wing, no words. Guess we just have to sit back and hope we arnt on the end of another defeat to our neighbours

[K-Hod]

Whilst I understand the need to rest players like Elliott, on account of his age, if Gallagher is on the wing and we have actual wingers on the bench, it is still frustrating!

Someone says Cassandra, all I can think about is Cassandra Peterson (aka, Elvira).

wish I could post her pic...

It will be that much more rewarding when he & Dolan come on to team up for the late winner!

Sorry if this has been covered. no sky red button?

I don't think it is tonight. 

Something about the number they can show per season.
