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

[Darwen Rover 007]

When we win we scrape a win (mostly) when we lose we disintegrate... 

Worrying times, they wanted it more than us 

[Dolly blue]

For weeks it’s been obvious that we are a very poor football team…..we’ve managed some wins by the odd goal and these results have masked the painful truth…not technically good enough, not brave enough, not fit enough…..with a manager who has as smile for every question …but an answer for NOTHING ….some very tough days ahead .

Tomasson has lost the plot as far as I'm concerned. He needs to have a rethink

It has to be said Rovers don't have enough good quality players either

Money needs to be spent in January or it will be a slide down the table for the rest of the season

SPINELESS. 

Sadly tomasson seriously doesn't seem to understand the English football mentality. 

 

As at was with mowbray it's whether he can swallow his pride and make the changes needed.

We need a real experienced leader in the centre of the park, they cost real money, we won't get one.

I don’t think he was particularly good either tbf mate 

Granted, “good” is absolutely not where I’d place the performance, just the fact he got a goal as he generally used to. First at Ewood in over 18 months.

Beyond abject. No character,  no desire. Tactics/formations all wrong. Players look like rabbits in the headlights. Sooner or later we were gonna get caught out & the break has served only to reinforce what’s wrong rather than change it.

Troubling, very troubling. 

Fairs fair, he did say that after the WC break that we would look a much better team. Oh, hang on....

I'm old enough to remember when he said he was going to entertain the fans and play fast, attacking football. 🤣

The guy is full of shite.

Spot on. We've been awaful all season, we've just managed to hold out at home against some very average teams. That was never going to continue. We were either going to improve and keep getting results, or keep playing shite and start getting battered. Sadly it's the latter that has happened.

The true is Travis has looked out of energy for some time.... not have the desire needed....

 

This was as awful as Preston were in april when we won 4-1.... and taking Brereton off is strange.... at 2-1 down you should keep your best striker...

Not if you are selling him and you don’t want him injured

[DE.]

I wonder if we'll hear an apology from JDT today? He should have given one after our no-show against Burnley, he needs to give one after also allowing us to be humiliated 4-1 at home by fucking Preston.

Weird mancrush alert. Can we have free rein to also mention Stefan Mols plays for Warrington Town?

Better than Buckley

[Miller11]

The more Tomasson puts his stamp on this team, the worse it gets. He is arrogantly sticking to this stupid “philosophy” that anyone who isn’t just trying to play the superfan or football expert can see is completely detrimental to us.

PNE looked as though they’d spent the last couple of weeks getting fit and ready. We were miles off. A fortnight in the sun presumably practicing unopposed passing drills.

[bigbrandjohn]

That was unwatchable. Too much to even contemplate. 
 

JDT needs a quiet word with Travis and say he wants him to concentrate on his game. And give the Captain’s armband to Hyam. 
 

[Sparks Rover]

Ok, Men v Boys today out there.

Whiteman not only dictated the game, he made goals and scored a feckin cracker.

I'm a Rovers fan through and through, but I had a tear in my eye today.  What a player my mates turned out to be....

His "cracker" was going wide until it deflected off one of our players. He's not as good as Ledson.

I know you all think I’m a yob now, but I’m 29 miles away, so I still think it’s an impressive feat. 
 

ps. Is that message Broadsword calling Danny Boy? 😉 😂

Well mate, totally dominated the midfield.

If a manager who in the first half of his first season has the club in a play off position has "failed" and his time is up, then the club is unmanageable. People like you just have a massive sense of entitlement, are unable to accept that there will always be bad days, and would probably be best advised to take up something else in your life.

Don’t disagree, but Hyam’s honeymoon period is over now. Started like a house on fire but perhaps there is a reason we got him quite cheaply and he’s never managed a Scotland cap. Shite today.
