Do we know if Balker is either gone for the season or potentially back in the squad over the next few games? Any news on Rudoni as well? |

Gone for an away win, don't care how or why!
Clutching at straws, especially after Tuesdays game - UTT.

This is not the time to be 'giving players a go' in all honesty in respect of Turton. Were you at Preston on Tuesday night?? No, but I did watch, point taken but we can't be that bad again....can we? |

For all the supporters who wanted the head coach to get some forwards on and “ go for it” , Tuesday is what happens. No midfield cover , tired and slow defenders and an energised attacker chasing through balls into acres of space. Admittedly the second half was also poor, and yes I was there.

Decent first half vs West brom, absolutely bummed second half, same again the other night. Cant beat Rotherham. We really are awful. Avoiding relegation is really keeping our fingers crossed that there are 3 worse teams. Not sure what options AB has left but Olly Turton at right back is certainly one........ |

We had worked so hard to keep them to nothing at all on goal. We had not been playing 'well', we had simply outworked them to some tune and for our squad thats good. By the time subs were considered we were losing. Exactly the same at Deepdale. The limitations of a simple tactic of closing down and working really hard are that its hard and tiring and requires serious concentration. Change the 'legs' keep doing what you have been but for longer?? |

We should pack midfield to do battle at Brizzle, but then thought with whom. Although long in tooth, Hoggy is badly missed, hope he & Rudoni are fit for the game - UTT. |

I'd like to know what ab says to them at half time
We compete well the first 45 minutes and get our noses in front then just get rolled over within 10 minutes of the start
There seems to be zero game management from ab and he's looking very naive...this is happening most games now
Ffs just pack the middle of the park for the first 20 minutes of the second half and keep it tight and frustrate them..

We've had an extra day to prepare for the game which won't get mentioned in the presser. If it was the other way around the excuse would already been lined up why we'll be off it.
No excuses now, prove to the fans that you have some pride and fight. None of this powder puff shite.

Players all over the shop and preston players in huge areas of space. Said before we didnt have to score again and a firm tactic of closing from halfway and compacting the play into an area of our choosing may have needed a change or two. You have to play to the limitations of your squad when you really know the chances of us taking the game on and scoring a couple more are very, very small. Once we go behind the chances of us getting it back are even smaller and once we loose all disipline you see Wba and the other night happen. Fact is other that twice this season we cannot move forward after taking a lead and hope to kill the game with more goals, we can however kill the game with other tactics. Accepting that fact, earlier on, like Warnock did, might have accrued a few more points.? |

Judging by his interview after the game guessing he said none of what they went and did. I said when he came in we might get few big score lines,basically because when we concede to level it or go behind he isn’t afraid to put attacking players on the pitch.It didn’t work out in the week because simply we just kept giving the ball away!!He maybe doesn’t have the players to be as brave as he is at times but let’s face it every man and his dog was complaining not so long back when Moore was here that he didn’t do exactly that and would never have brought fresh attacking players on. I get where you’re coming from but we gave away 15 points from winning positions with the previous two managers,at least he’s trying to do something about it. Also something which all managers have had to contend with and links to my first point that he clearly didn’t instruct them to play as they did second half is that these players just flat refuse to take any responsibility for themselves during a game when things start getting a bit tough,or the great majority of them won’t. I’d be doing everything I could to keep andre here if we were to go down. |

Right, rarely predict, but in this case based on strong scientific analysis and indepth knowledge will say we have an outside chance of a draw, this based on most recent results:
Bristol just had good match scored 5 let in 0
Town just had a poor match let in 4 scored 1

If Bristol score first we all know that will be it with this lot. I have no idea how our players are so inferior to other teams {even ones I have never heard of} They get paid good money,,Bloody earn it!

We were awful in possession, messed about with the ball at the back, but we had several really good passing moves, and as per usual when we actually string 5 or 6 passes together we look half decent. Unfortunately for us stringing 5 or 6 passes together is a bit like throwing 5 or 6 reds on the bounce on the roulette table. |

Playing Kasumu and Matos and was-he-playing? Wiles in midfield on Tuesday failed disastrously. Never mind the second half, in the first I think the Koroma goal (from a mishit shot from the Show-Off) was the only thing their goalkeeper had to worry about all 49 minutes. |

I do agree in general though we have less chance of capitulating with him in there. Rudoni although his end product hasn’t been the best his work rate is always there and he’s one of very few who can take the ball in tighter areas and actually keep it. Be helpful to have them back |

We do miss him when he's not playing. |

Not checked but read somewhere that it might be same ref on Sat that sent Thomas off earlier in season.
Tbh I think there are more serious issues to be addressed than who's in charge though.

The managerial ineptitude of the other night. I guess there is a reason we play with no strikers. Who knew our midfield would disappear quicker than a donut in a health farm when we threw strikers on.

Rudoni and Thomas usually mentioned by commentators,other fans etc as our better/dangerous players.They probably are too which says a lot about our predicament.

We called it against W Brom, we all know Carlos, unfortunately AB didn't Called it at Preston, there was no way PNE would be as poor as they were in the first half We've played enough draws this season, the players aren't incapable of consolidating, not sure they were instructed to .... apart from at Rotherham |
