We're playing Preston, not Man City.

Very confident of a win tonight.

 

You were saying?

You've much to learn

[G Somerset Rover]

I don’t know what I’m more fuming about, the late and very obvious sucker punch (it’s never the other way round with Rovers is it), them beating us YET again or our continued appalling set pieces.

Are we ‘creating value’ by passing them short every single time too? They do not, and will not ever work. Sort it out, JDT, it’s embarrassingly poor.

We deserved better but never seem to get it against this lot. Best team in 2nd half no doubt. Some superb approach play as usual but nobody on the end of them.

We are often in a good position to put a cross over but don't knowing we have no height up there.

Whiteman was a yard offside

Be fair to him, difficult to get back onside with donkey’s hooves.

There we go, Preston win their cup final.

[ItsRoverZ]

Unreal we lost that, I don't want to see Adam wharton start for us again, lads a fucking pisstake, so unitrested, half assed passing around losing the ball, utter shite player who's cost us ALOT of points this season 

[den]

Thought PNE got lucky there. We did enough to win that fairly comfortably

[CambridgeRover]

Sort out the set pieces for gods sake

Who decided to take it short every time. Sackable decision

yeah, he's fucking wank. I only realised he was playing after about 30 minutes. 

[jim mk2]

A big team of good 'uns will always beat a little team of the same. I wish we had players of Preston's size and stature. We have no one like Ched Evans

He is utter wank. needs to actually try

 

[pick32]

Men against boys at the back there 

[RoverDom]

"One last long ball  forward" said the commentator 5 or 6 passes round the back later its still in our half.... 

That last freekick into the box caused more issues than all of our corners combined.

Haha. I know emotions are raw, but this will age like milk.

time for bed

[BigBar]

Didn't deserve to lose but somehow found a way. All too familiar. Good night lads. 

[Bbrovers2288]

I don’t know, at the end it felt like there was only one team that were going to win it and it wasn’t us. Subs had no impact for us where they did for them. I hate seeing ched Evan’s against us 

[booth]

One thing I’ll give Preston and their manager credit for. They never stop and despite being shit never stop believing.

Rovers seem to stop believing after the 12th shot is off target. 

[Ewood Ace]

Adam Wharton's attitude stinks he's a decent player with plenty of potential but no way near as good as he thinks he is. The winning goal all starts from his casual pass and then to compound it he doesn't attempt to get out to Whiteman and stop the cross coming into the box.

The most Rovers thing ever.

Fucks sake.

[Andy]

Their goal was well worked, but apart from that, hit and hope / time wasting from mid way in the first half.

We've lost tonight, but I'm glad I'll be watching a season of us playing football than the shite they have to watch.

Huge game for them and they'll enjoy the win, but it's just another one for us and we'll move onto the next (after the break).

[rovers11]

Why do we concede so many late goals? It's simple, our subs always make us weaker and the opposition gain an advantage.

Markanday is hopeless.

Short corners are a valuable option, but only when you have a clear plan for them and you use them sparingly. Element of surprise is a useful thing.

They are pretty useless if everyone knows you’re gonna do it, every time.

We only have two significant aerial threats on the pitch at any given time, so we need to come up with routines that factor that in. Flick-ons, basically. Two big lads going hell for leather at the front post and composed finishers working to the back post.

[Gordon Gekko]

Furious, if we can’t win the game don’t Fucking lose it!!!!!

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Why the hell take Dolan off,was he injured?

Christ,what is wrong with us in Derby games,we appear to fold at will,so damn frustrating with the possession we had.

**HUGE SIGH**
