v Preston North End (h) - 10/11/23

[Exiled_Rover]

PNE playing 4-4-f'ing-2.

They're going to hammer our box with long balls and crosses today.

What's happened to Pickering ?

[Moptop1]

Can’t see a win tonight. Prove me wrong Rovers.

That's a very weak bench

As is the defence

Just defend them, it is part of playing football.

Siggi at left back… where’s Harry? This isn’t going to end well

Nar it will be Trav and Brittain as the full backs.

I blame LiveScore

Hells teeth that’s a piss poor looking back 5. 

[RTM08]

JDT has an appalling record in our derby games so far, let's hope for a change in fortune tonight!

On another day that would be the the reserve back five.

Pears

JRC, Carter, Hyam, Pickering 

All out.

Could be worse. Here is how BBC think we're lining up.

[WacoRover]

Four wins in the last five…

if we went back & read the pre-game comments from those four wins, would they read much different than today?  
 
We’ve got a solid football man in Tomasson. He may not have the personnel he would desire, but I bet we get solid play from whoever he throws out on the pitch.

COYB!!!

PNE will be playing 3-5-2 (or 5-3-2) depending on if you count wing backs as defenders or midfielders, but that being said, pretty sure that you are right with their gameplan of long balls and crosses

Its bloody freezing, I've just seen a penguin arguing with a polar bear over a Hollands Pie.

Should have got a left back recruited if batty isnt being fancied, i don't think Trav is an awful RB to be fair.

Time telalovic did something off the back of 2 hat tricks in the u21s !

Gunna be a tight affair I think as we're weakened.. Hope wahlsted has a good game. Dolan should be fired up as ever vs Preston.

Im up in the lakes for the weekend, wish i could of got the fam too stop off for the game! (Come from down south).

Let's hope Leo has been going hard on his catching practice this week!

We're playing Preston, not Man City.

Very confident of a win tonight.

It's almost like we're missing a striker! How different the first few months of this season could have been. 

[WacoRover]

So glad I get this game (ESPN+)

Win, lose, or draw, c’mon, you Rovers! 

[Mercer]

Think there will be lots of goals tonight.

Head says we will struggle more defensively than PNE.

Heart says we win by the odd goal in a 5 goal thriller.

[superniko]

Not too worried about the back 5 as PNE will hardly touch the ball. 

3-0 Rovers.
