Same 11 for me. Don’t mind if we have Trybull or Johnson in the DM role. Frankly I was impressed by Davenport’s cameo on Tuesday and would like to see him get more chances in the side.

Feel so chuffed for him! Someone needs to put together a highlights reel of all his moves against PNE... he really made fools out of them!

All our subs did really well. Dolan obviously popped up with a goal, but Davenport and Buckley controlled the game really well. Shout out for Douglas as well who is a massive improvement at LB. A beautiful 3 points there!

Preston messageboard in meltdown atm ?

Dolan!!! So fuckn happy right now haha

He said to judge him after 12 games, well we are struggling to keep up the win rate required to challenge for the playoffs. He needs to be winning 50% of matches, but we’re 2 wins behind at present. I don’t know at what point we say someone else needs to come in and try to get this team promoted. We need a significant improvement for the next 12 games.

That's what I thought initially as well, but the ref was actually Gavin Ward not Darren Bond.

That was absolutely abysmal refereeing. If there aren't some sort of repercussions for that ref after this game then it will be a fucken joke. It's not even that important a game really, but I am livid.

This referee needs to be sacked. FUCK OFF!!!

How have we not scored???

For what?

Stoke, Swansea, Watford, Millwall all winning. Bournemouth beat Reading earlier. Bad results for us if we want to make the playoffs. We need the 3 points here.

Elliott and Brereton have struggled to get in the game so far, so chances have been limited. Not sure who you could bring on to change the game. Buckley for Trybull maybe, but I thought he was doing quite well keeping things ticking in midfield. I don't think Dolan or Gallagher would be able to change anything.

Douglas and JRC would be excellent as wingbacks in a 3-4-1-2. Excellent technically, but watching them defend makes me very nervous.

This ref is garbage.

Hoping to see something special from Douglas today if he's starting. He's been a bit of a disappointment thus far. I feel Kaminski will become very important to us having a good season, massive boost to have him available. No easy games, but this is the sort of game we should be winning if we're serious about playoffs. I think Luton will struggle to contain Arma, Brero and Elliott today.

Just my opinion, but I don’t know why things need to be so black and white as far as Venkys and the ‘protesters’ are concerned. There was some clearly shady dealings going on during the Kean era and the overall management of the club was shambolic. People were rightly angered at what was going on and the efforts that the likes of Glen et al put in to shine a light on it all and expose it for what it was has to be commended. I think it’s to everyone’s great credit that the penny finally dropped with the owners and Kean was eventually sacked, ties with Kentaro were cut etc. However, I think what has to be recognised is that Venkys haven’t just turned off the taps or sold up just because they were the target of a lot of hatred from the club’s supporters. They’ve actually made efforts to rectify their past mistakes by investing in our academy, covering our losses, funding transfers and putting the right people in place to run the club (finally). To me that speaks volumes about their character and their intentions. I’m not expecting many on here to agree with me on that point and I’m sure many don’t even agree that the right people are running the club now, but for me I see a major difference between then and now. I’m in a completely different boat to most on here being an overseas fan, but this is the most connected I’ve felt to the club in a long time. I am not 100% convinced by Mowbray, but he is the right sort of manager that I want at the club. He’s also brought in the ‘right’ sort of players to the club. Seeing a back four of academy players in JRC, Lenihan, Wharton and Nyambe a few weeks back was a great feeling. We are light years away from the days of Kean, Shaw, Danny Murphy, Orr, Duffy etc.

Cherry on the cake that!

Brilliant block from Wharton there.. he's had a decent game.

ARMA YOU BEAUTY!!!

This is as good a performance as we've had this season IMO, but no goals to show for it. We are so much better with the spine of our team back in Kaminski, Johnson, Rothwell and Armstrong. Can't fault any players' performance so far (other than Evans for the 2 minutes he was on). Arma a bit greedy, but given his scoring record you can forgive him.

Well, the good news is that we're back to playing our best again and creating chances. The bad news is that we still can't finish them off.

Maybe because he has 9 in 10 and Brero has 1 in 10 ?

I don't think Evans is a terrible player, but enough's enough. Too many injuries in his time at Rovers, he needs to go.

2 great saves from their keeper so far. Should be 2-0 already.
