[RoversClitheroe]

Ideal scenario for tonight - We win 10-0 and Mowbray gets sacked.

Undoubtedly. They'll start by saying how good and exciting we are going forward, despite the fact we create very, very little these days

‘Tonight Preston are up against free scoring Blackburn Rovers’.

D'oh back to be bed for me.... Armstrong will start imo with Dack from the bench.

                     Kaminski

Nyambe.   Lenihan.   Branthwaite.  Douglas

          Travis.   Davenport.   Rothwell

         Elliott.     Armstrong.   Brereton 

Haha I was worried for a second then! I agree on the lineup, got a feeling Mowbray might bench Nyambe, hope I’m wrong.

Oh 100% THB has to get minutes, who better to sacrifice than our best defender and attacking outlet lol

The more I think about Nyambe coming off at QPR more confused and worried it makes me.

Your 1 nil down with half an hour to play, Nyambe has been one of your better players, you take him off - why?

Okay so maybe they are managing his minutes after all he has a history of muscle injuries.

Why bring on a cb then? your chasing the game

Why not bring on Bennett who used to be a winger by trade would probably offer more going forward.

Worried about this, pitch will be atrocious / very heavy.  We have no width so very easy to defend against, not enough tactical nouse to go route1.

just my opinion

You obviously didn't see Bennet playing for the U23s last week.

One thing's for sure - we'll hear this from one of the commentator's tonight. Happens everytime we're on Sky:

"It's been very unlike a Tony Mowbray side for them to be playing like this".

If they are saying stuff like that, we'll be 3 up after 20mins and playing class.

Absolutely disgraceful behaviour from Mowbray in my opinion. 

[Exiled in Toronto]

Am I the only person who saw Nyambe present QPR with their first golden opportunity by running under a long flighted ball his man was able to chest down and race toward goal unhindered, with Bell of all people saving our bacon at the back post? And with no goals and half a dozen assists in 150+ games, how on earth would we score without him? 

If Mowbray plays a guy from a club Nyambe will never play for and we get three points, I’m happy. If the kid runs under long flighted balls leaving his man free, I’m not.

Another dire 1-0, for us or Knob End.

Tony could play the same 11 today that thrashed them 3-0 at Deepdale on November 24, minus Wharton. 

Add Dacky & Travis to the squad since then, & they’ve lost Davies. I like our chances.

Hahaha, shades of when we had Michael Keane on loan and played him at right back instead of centre back.

And the best most experienced center back at the club Baptiste at right back.

Every manager here since Hughes/Allardyce has had serious blind spots in terms of defense.

Very odd, one day someone might just actually look to build a team, with a best 11 designed to get as many points as possible without any other notions or agendas.

Win tonight and we go 7th.............but as usual here comes the nose bleed and a narrow Nobenders win 🤕

I will wait until that happens... and only then admit I was wrong. 

2-1, good guys. 

it’s the hope that kills you 😆

[Tugay-is-God]

Hope we get a good performance tonight, feels like a long time since we've seen one.

Really looking to this game and a Rovers win hopefully. 

We need to start this game very quick and get an early goal so we can settle down. 

With be interest to see the team Mowbray picks

We need to finish Preston off, I can sence their anxiety about tonight's game, we cannot allow them any resttbite.

Let's complete the job live on tv for all the world to see.

They talk about payback but they have had the upper hand for years now, time for some PAIN.
