Friday 12th February Blackburn Rovers Vs Preston North End @ Ewood Park

[Ewood Ace]

Get Branthwaite off at half time. He's been a liability under the high ball and has cost us two goals. That's the problem with loaning a young lad who has been mainly playing kids football, the emphasis there is on passing and keeping the ball on the floor. He won't have come up against a side putting the ball in the air to some big physical men very often.

Sure I heard last week that we’ve scored one all season. And I think that’s number 9 against (it could well be many more)

Yes and I think that was an Armstrong header. 

It's atrocious. Every set piece us garbage

[JohnD]

TM tactical moron

Like Ched Evans did?

Yes. Exactly.

[Boroblue]

Who is the commentators. What s biased arse. Admittedly we are shit but he is s shocker

[rovers11]

Whatever the result here, just go Tony. One month followed by a dreadful one is all too familiar. 

A dodgy pen doesn't cloud my judgement, that was simply embarrassing. 

[jim mk2]

Horrible performance... as bas as any 45 this season

2nd goal was so soft

And it wasn't a penalty

[Bigdoggsteel]

Armstrong has balls like watermelons for converting that. All signs from that first half collapse pointed towards him missing that, but he slotted it. Pathetic really, out fought and out thought.

Massive dive for me. Would be well pissed If it was at the other end.

They got their comeuppance- Ched Evans tried an even more blatant dive early on. Be interesting to see if PNE can keep up the level of pressing in the second half.

It can't be easy to say anything positive about any of that.

Thought he was one of our better players. Not his fault for either goal

Don Goodman particularly hates rovers. Not sure why. 

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Pathetic first half..this lot need a rocket up their arse!!😠

[BigBar]

That was bad. Never looked like scoring and then get a dodgy pen and almost equalise but for a stunning save. 

Watch up equalise now or concede again then pull one back and huff and puff yet again. Second half will show alot.

How much to read the note Tony was writing on his pad after their second went in... 

 

[neophox]

We were so shit first half embarassing..

Did Paul Robinson come out of retirement and join Preston?

No I think he came out of retirement and joined us, because Kaminski's positioning on that first goal was abysmal just like Robbo's was.

[Paul Mellelieu]

Still in it.

Think they’ve been fine, we’ve played absolute piss. 

[G Somerset Rover]

If he simply has to shoe horn in the City lad then I trust it’ll be for the Branthwaite who IMO has had a bit of a stinker rather than Nyambe.

We continue to play awful football. How long will it last?

First goal he is caught under the ball which draw Lenihan out of position which in turn draws Nyambe out of position and leaves Cunningham free. The second goal his man scores the header because he is more interested in cuddling him than trying to head the ball.

[Exiled_Rover]

The Director needs to have a word with Donny boy. Blatant penalty, shut up whinging about it.

[Mercer]

Shite, shite and more shite.

However, Rovers having inordinate amount of luck as seen with penalty again.

Rovers' win at 5/1 is ridiculously generous.  Given our luck, just stuck £25 on.

Not really. Just a very well hit shot.
