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

[Ewood Ace]

What a stark contrast how Potts defended Wharton at the back post earlier in the half to how Brittain defended the back post against their centre half then. Weak

[Tugay-is-God]

We've given them it, that's it

[AllRoverAsia]

Oh look a cross and a goal. Fuck this shit.

[Bethnal]

Felt like there was only one more in it. Has to be us in future, can’t be conceding late at home against fucking Preston Nob End if you have ambitions of top 6.

Hope JDT has a bollocking in him.

[duckson]

Like to see it again, player who crossed it was possibly offside. Counts for nothing now but standard luck.

[superniko]

Textbook Blackburn Rovers sadly. 

Soft as shite 

[booth]

That all came from Adam Wharton giving the ball away cheaply.

But ffs, Markanday could have fouled that lad who put the ball in. We shouldn’t be relying on the likes of Markanday.

Another 3 points lost to a poor team. Same with Hull, same with Plymouth… etc

[BigBar]

You stick with the short corners Jon. You know best, don't mind what anyone says. Ridiculous.

[LDRover]

All comes from Wharton's lazy pass in his own last third compounded by a lack of effort to win it back. 

I'm the lad's biggest fan but my God he has a lot to learn.

[Upside Down]

Weak as piss.

A grunty experienced centre back is absolutely essential.

Funnily enough the owners put a stop to that.

[K-Hod]

Thanks for being shit at defending, gifting them a goal and missing your chances lads. Appreciate you being so shit xxxx

Piss poor keeper that has no presence 

Dont think this one is on Leo. There was zero pressure on Whiteman crossing the ball in, as soon as he had time to drop it in the box we were goosed. Brittain could have been stronger aswell, similar to what someone said above about how Potts defended against Wharton at the other end.

Adam w does it again loses the ball  cannot get back  quickly enough  there score we need to because lot more  robust when we do not have the ball

[Sweaty Gussets]

Injuries and lack of depth have fucking killed us tonight.

[ItsRoverZ]

Preston been super average, really bang average side, we stick our chances away and we win at a canter even with our side riddled with injuries

Definitely offside

[Nuttall is lost]

Why cant we win from 1-0 down?  We cant even draw.  So sick of this.  You know if we concede first its a near certainty the game is lost.  Bizarre.  And late goals.  WTF is that about?

[Tugay-is-God]

Another foul throw, not that it matters

Indeed. Get our noses in front and we look like we can score 2/3+. Go behind and we consistently look like we could play until midnight and not score.

Let’s hope tonight is different, but like you, I carry little hope.

I wasn’t wrong. I knew it, their manager knew it,  everyone knew it.

[danger19_80]

Whiteman was a yard offside

[benhben]

You could see this happening from about 70 minutes onwards. Preston happy to sit back and lump it up to their big lads knowing well panick at the back. 

Naive to give the ball away on edge of our box. That's a team full of young lads for you. 

Had enough chances to have been out of sight.

Also not sure why some people think Wharton is a big deal. Looks Buckley like to me

Nah, no daylight. Just shit defending.

[rovers11]

Classic Rovers. Weak defensively and not clinical enough.

Very clear that we're heading for a mid table finish.

He needs to come off after 60. He rarely does anything beyond that.
