v Preston North End (a) - 17/02/2024

[K-Hod]

It’s quite sad really, whenever we get into a good position, I never really feel like I can enjoy it, as I know what these lot are like. If there was a title for an ability to crush my spirit, they’d be world champions.

[Inferi]

A terrible transfer window resulting in starting clearly unfit Fleck who gets injured right away. In comes Garrett who is not ready to play at this level and then our opponents can play through our midfield with ease.

Cos we've changed tactics and without A. Wharton sat in midfield nobody wants to take responsibility. 

The CBs are just happy lumping it forward to Gallagher and hoping for a flick on. 

But even when they do need to tap it to each other they seem to have completely lost the ability and give it away.

[superniko]

Gregg has had his hands tied some what. But by god he’s pulled off some shockers. 
Szmodics and Tronstad and a passable Hyam. The other 15+ have been crocks, soft loanees or complete flops. 
Poor ratio 

[CrouchingNunhiddenCucumber]

Players have had a free fucking pass years, really hope John can install some steel in them as they're a bunch of absolute pansies 

[den]

I think we all know there’s only one winner here.

Travis should be playing

[CambridgeRover]

For me Chrisene, O'riodan and Telalaovic on , Hedges McFadz and Dolan off

He's had a week but we have concede 3 goals so far so not looking great for JE so far. We have only 14 &1/2 games left so he hasn't got much time.

 

Like ampadu said last night, if you keep a clean sheet you get a point. That should be our focus. We have conceded in 17 straight games and all of JEs games so far. Poor

[CambridgeRover]

Dolan just did a pass that was unbelievably bad, fuck me you are worth not even 1k a week muppet

If they knew they were selling Wharton crazy to ship him off 

[booth]

Did Dolan have a flashback and think he was playing for them?

[OldEwoodBlue]

Anyone on the bench who can improve us or create something ?

Any of our new signings ?

No ? Thought not.

[moerpho]

So…who’s gonna come off the bench and change the game for us?

3 at the back 4 at the back, JDT, JE no matter. We ship goals.

That one was even worse 

[funny-old-game]

Ref injured, we'll sign him!

 

[NeilInBristol]

Our bench is worrying 

[CambridgeRover]

Get dolan fucking off, my god he is awful

[Bethnal]

Dolan should have his number up on the board, but there’s just nobody on the bench that you’d rather have on in his place.

A draw looking attractive now.

Indeed.

Just said to a mate, why is it that the opposition can regularly come back against us, but not the other way round? Same with the oppositions ability to score later winners and equalisers.

So bloody miserable supporting us.

 

[davulsukur]

Not a single tweet from the Rovers twitter page single the 2nd half began. Guessing it's just that bad.

[TheKitGuy]

This is absolutely awful stuff. We've looked like a Sunday league side the past 3 games at least under JDT we looked like we would threaten most league 1 sides! 

[B16Rover]

Come out worse after the half time break 

The nasty Preston players are big and strong
