v Preston North End (h) - 10/12/2022

[Upside Down]

Well after England's inevitable early exit from the World Cup and that totally disgraceful display at t' turd, the only way is up!

I'm going to be optimistic about this one. Our winter break will have done us the world of good and JDT has the team running like a well oiled machine. 

3-0 to the Rovers. 

[tomphil]

Not sure if this is a good game to come back to or a bad one but it's another awkward fixture for sure.

Jump on them and get an early goal otherwise i can see them taking the points because they certainly won't be as flat and clueless as we were at the Turd.

Can't see anything different from the recent home games and it has always been a question of how long we can get away with the things at home we don't get away with on the road.

I'm very discombobulated after Sunday

You will do in a few weeks once Rovers withdrawal kicks in and England give us all something else to stress about !

[Mattyblue]

People actually get stressed about England?!

Rovers withdrawal ? After Sunday ? Speaking personally I’m glad of the break.

I love watching England, especially away. It’s a fantastic weekend. And we’re not shit anymore, which helps. 

[Mattyblue]

Sounds great. A city break with some international football bolted on, what’s not to like?

But if/when they get beat will folk actually being doing more than just an ‘oh well 🤷‍♂️‘?

I've only cried twice about football - the first time we were relegated from the Premier League and when we were put out in the semis of Euro 96.

I don't care as much as I used to about England, but I'll be watching. 

[Doogs]

Not expecting much from this. This nonsense of playing without a centre forward leaves me with little hope for JDT

As proved in every game this season scoring first is critical if we are to have a chance. How ridiculous is that though. In truth I'm still feeling really despondent after the Claret capitulation so much that my confidence in Tomasson is waning. He simply has to come up with something different,  something new that replaces the predictable, tedious and slow play we have endured in many games.

At Ewood to Preston.

Nothing but a win, 2-0

You mentioned that you would be happy to lose every game from now on to PNE as long as Rovers beat Burnley in March.

Well I'm Preston born and bred but Rovers have been my club since I was 7 or 8 and that comment is incredulous to me. Imagine if I said we can lose every game to Burnley from now on as long as we beat North End the next game. Meh!

We really MUST beat the nobbers, just for my sake. But if JDT keeps us playing the same way I'm afraid we'll lose.

JDT has to change the style for this game.

[Guest]

Preston will be a much tougher prospect than last season. Ched Evans will give us problems at the back because, like Barnes, he is another aggressive centre forward that can bully a defence.

1-1

[Cuppliance]

I can see Preston being resilient for this one and will be aiming for a clean sheet. Enough to bore the crowd and kill the atmosphere as Rovers run out of ideas early on. I see this going one of two ways. 0-0 or 0-1

Or at least start with a proper defence, I ask you, who experiments at Burnley????

Exactly!

I'm still waiting for JDTs apology.

Gutless and Cowardly display

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

We all demand a response in this game to the Burnley debacle.

Blood,Sweat and fookin Tears if needed...warm Weather training indeed while Rovers fans had the piss ripped out of them!

The best way to beginning some from of redemption from Tomasson and the players is to batter the Nobbers whilst playing some quick, intense and progressive football. In reality though I expect his cautious, slow and over playing football we have seen too many times this season. However the only thing that matters is the result and in fairness he has ground out a few so far but the Dingle debacle has seen him lose lots of the faith I had in him.

[Darrenbot]

I can see this being a boring 0-0 draw with the manager saying it'll take a while to get the players back up to speed after the month off.

[tomphil]

Well this is the extended break him and Broughton have been papping on about being much needed since the season started.

So lets see if the appetite for success this season is really there.

We don’t seem to do draws.

Legend Sparks. Is it a car park for just an area easy to park and is there a charge?
