[J*B]

We’re giving Sparks free rein this evening on the old Whiteman debate. He deserves his moment of glory.

Can you repeat it but aim it at JDT this time?

This display has caused out of character behaviour 🙄😂

Let’s re watch all the videos pre World Cup of us getting caught out passing out the back and do exactly the same against a high pressing local derby 

[jim mk2]

Blow the whistle ref and end this agony. Great start to the sporting day.... just watch England lose too

[neophox]

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...

Look like the victory over Ajax in Spain that everyone was drooling over was a bit misleading 

Eh what? 

That was our "second" team. Not the one on show today. 

[Dan]

Snowing heavy now. Needs to be called off and replayed at a later date for player safety. 

[yellowsubmarine]

Well done to Preston. Well organised bunch of no marks and still comfortably brushed us aside.

JDT and the entire team should hung their heads in shame.

More gracious than me I was readying the ban button for his impending wind up

On penalties too no doubt. I’ve absolutely no desire to watch the match tonight now. Bloody football, honestly don’t know why I bother. 

[Bethnal]

Dack back on the scoresheet and the only player to be able to take any positive from the game. Watch him get dropped now.

[duckson]

Abject disgrace.

Agreed.

Szmodics probably the most baffling signing we've made recently absolutely awful and non-existent

And his inclusion meant that Dack had to play out of position.

Hedges is put at the back. Britain put out of position to accommodate it. So two players out of position.

Travis and Morton the weakest midfield pairing I’ve ever seen. Travis the worst I’ve ever seen him, and he’s had a few.

Ayala on the bench.

Adam Wharton allowed another derby day off.

And he takes the top scorer off.

[jim mk2]

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

[steelcityblue]

I see JDT is getting his ideas across to the players 😳

He's been ridiculed on here for years on this one but he is absolutely bang on the money. He's right on the quality of our players as well, fair play to him.

[Danishfan]

Jon, please dont smirk or smile in the after match interview 🙏 This was such an embarrasing performance 🥲

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

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.

No point in spending money with this management team Jim, they'll only waste it.

SACK THEM.

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

[den]

JDT won’t have a clue what to do now. That’s for certain. 

[windymiller7]

Utterly pathetic. For the first time EVER I'm home before the final whistle. I even sat through the Fulham game!

This shit has to stop!

He plays him all wrong.

And he’s not the only one.

[G Somerset Rover]

I hope somebody asks Tomasson about Adam Wharton. Our two worst performances of the season where we’ve not even put in a tackle, and Wharton isn’t even in the squad. Are we saving him for England under 19 duty in a few months time again? Or does JDT just dislike him as he doesn’t pass sideways at every opportunity?
