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

[des]

Well on we go with no plan or format we need some input from some where

[neophox]

Lenihan back to his normal today...

[Riverside under the drip]

Weak points we really can't do:

1. Being within 20 yards of the right place on the pitch.

2. Not letting the ball bounce.

3. Passing the ball.

4. Controlling the ball.

5. Shooting.

6. Heading.

 

Strong Points we actually can:

1. Flicks around a corner sometimes.

That is all.

Branthwaite shocking for their second goal. No attempt to get the ball. Free header for Nobender

[simongarnerisgod]

every limited but determined side love playing us,it`s easy,just sit a bit deeper and you`re guaranteed to come away with something

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

He was marking lindsay for their second and didnt even bother jumping.

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. 

Penalty taker has balls like watermelons for converting penalty when 2-0 down in the 44th minute of a mid-season league match for a mid-table side against another mid-table side.

Yes and I think that was an Armstrong header. 

It's atrocious. Every set piece us garbage

Set pieces at both ends have been utterly appalling since Mowbray took charge.

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

I'll give you a clue. Think 'Manager'

Tony's team talk.

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.

Kiss goodbye to it like you did with your 5nil bet or whatever it was 😂

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.

The right flank was wide open.... Nyambe shouldn't have been out of position anyway and where was Gallagher?

The 2nd was on the near post.... Gallagher was there and didn't even jump from what I saw

[StevenSK]

Brother in LA watching he’s a coaxed fan of us. Says when we going to get a shift on ARTE ET LABoRE

[superniko]

Dolan and Downing coming on

Tony breaking the mould not waiting for the 60th minute

It's a funny old game.

We could come out and blow PNE away.

Waiting for curry to arrive - another wine uncorked.  Need some solace.

Sharpe:

This is where you're looking for leaders. Dack's voice is one you can constantly hear, Armstrong was furious about the second goal, but more needed in more ways than one.

He did jump but very late and looked more like he was trying to leg drop two of his own players.

So Evans should have been allowed to stand unmarked right in front of goal?  You're worse than Mowbray!

‘This is where you’re looking for a decent manager’ too.

[grinder]

Im probably the only person on here who:-

• thought it was a penalty
• thought it was a crap penalty 

anyway I eagerly await plan B

[RevidgeBlue]

Absolute garbage, don't know what to say any more, let's hope the Rao's are watching.

Braithwaite is absolute rubbish. We'd be far better off developing our own youngsters than other Clubs'

We'll have to see what the second half brings, hope we turn it round and win but if we're to lose anyway we might be better having another half like that and losing by 5 or 6.

Then the powers that be might sit up and take notice.

[chaddyrovers]

Dolan and Downing coming on

[Doug]

Rothwell off, terrible decision. 

[Tormund]

Surely Dolan on for Gallagher and leave Rothwell on?
