v PNE (a) - 25/4/22

[SuperBrfc]

It always amuses me how angry they get by us saying "we aren't bothered about you". They wish we were.

Rovers going to Deepdale on Monday night is the German equivalent of Bayern Munich turning up at Paderborn 😁. I'm sure their ticket office has gone into overdrive!

If our miserable manager hadn't have thrown in the towel 2 months ago, I'd be well up for seeing Rovers shut them up. As it is, I think they'll show more fight and desire than us. The vibe around Rovers is awful for a team that is supposed to be in the play off mix. I just can't see us winning this game.

I suppose even Bayern lose to a small team once in a while too. It happens, Preston fans. I've realised I've just given Mowbray a get out line there. "Even Bayern Munich lose games of football". Coming soon to a post match press conference near you.

I'm sure if the roles were reversed they'd be jumping through hoops and ramming the stadium, knobs.

In fact weren't they in contention a few years ago then dropped out and first thing they did was call for the managers head ?

Hmmm......  Also bring almost a full end to their big days out at Ewood then first crap form they are in, don't bring a full end ?

Well there you go, case closed.

If Ayala is fit why isn't he playing, as he is our best center-half ? I can understand him not getting his place back while the defence is playing well. But at the moment it isn't.

Mr mowbrays tactics at the moment, if the defence are playing shit ayala has no chance.

I hear Fenerbahce have joined Seville in showing interest in Diaz.

Win, lose or draw it doesn’t matter there’s far bigger issues at play off the pitch here. Not for the first time under this regime the off the field antics overshadow the football.

A 10-0 win and Mowbray signing a new deal would be a terrible day, a 10-0 defeat and Mowbray leaving would be a great day.

Horrible time to be a Rovers fan.. seems like only 12 years ago we were looking forwards to going onwards and upwards.

Eh? 

12 years folks. Thank you very much, Walker Trust. Not! Jack would be spinning.

As far as Monday is concerned, meh, whatever will be will be. Players are disinterested, manager is puddled and the only possible outcome is Rovers not being relegated. If you'd said at the start of the season, Rovers will be around the playoff places at the end of the campaign, most would have snapped your hand off. But to have dropped in to this position and to be so clearly so far off the pace required is just a poke in the eye.

Waggot OUT! Venkys OUT! Gurning hapless chumps OUT! 

[Cherry Blue]

Only one outcome as PNE are united. As far as Rovers are concerned session's over and players couldn't give a toss.

3 0

[Mattyblue]

Saw a post on their forum reckoning we’ll still have 4,000 over there, take a zero off they figure and you’d be closer…

A 10-0 defeat and ewood would be empty against bournemouth.

At least they’ve not ruined my Saturday this time. What’s the world coming to when I’m relieved we aren’t playing !

I am enjoying watching ManU totally going to pieces. I saw their lineup this morning, I thought Tony was their new manager.

Know of topic but Amari Bell is doing well for Luton....

[OldEwoodBlue]

By the time we play this is going to be a mid table end season dead rubber.

Thanks Sky and Thanks Tony.

How many players has Mowbray actually improved ?

[OldEwoodBlue]

Luton playing well. Same with Huddersfield last week.

Two teams who are not endowed with resources or parachute money.

Two teams who are not burdened by a crap manager and crap owners.

Two teams who seemingly took the short cut to avoid an unecessary journey.

Both sides showing they want the play offs. Now compare the attitude and performances of our lot. Not just one game, not two.... week after week ever since January and getting worse.

Should have been an absolutely critical exciting local derby this. Really hard to get together any enthusiasm at all.

We really should let Mowbray go and give Damian Johnson the last few games to try something different. Just for a hopeful bounce as much as anything.

i can`t think of any,he`s made travis look ****,nullified gallagher`s one main attribute,shuffled rothwell and brereton everywhere,taken away dolans pace threat,the ones who have improved he`s sold,raya in particular

[chaddyrovers]

Rovers need to go positive and attack them from the start. Press from the front and close down much more than recent games. 

We can't keep clean sheet so lets attack.

There's no way that it can be argued that Mowbray hasn't noticeably improved Brereton. He also brought through Travis and he certainly hasn't got worse. Rothwell has also had his best season this season.

You mean his best half season. What’s he done since January ?

Very true, he certainly isn't a player that you'd want in the trenches with you and not one that I am particularly bothered about leaving, albeit we won't replace him properly. Should have been sold in January and would have been if it wasn't for meddling owners.

Chiles Manager seemed to have improved Brereton by a 1000% more in the little spells here and there that he's had him then Mowbray did in over 3 years.

Not sure Travis has particularly improved over the past couple of years. He’s now just a spoiler, whereas he used to have a fair bit more to his game.
