And Bpoo lose again, which is nice.
( though it'd be nice to have the derby game next season so if they escape relegation I wont be too fussed )

Well I think I want a Blackpool win so we play them next year.....that's what we want don't we, play our rivals as much as possible.......
But with the current doom and gloom going round, what if they win 1-0 and we implode and go down on GD by one goal and they stay up.......stranger things have happened!!

Sadly it is more by good luck than by good judgement. The club needs more good judgement if it is to remain a club of any sort of standing in our small corner of this world. |

I'd rather be looking up than down.
There are 10 teams below us at the moment but won't be by the end of the season with the current trajectory...indeed we are likely to be just outside the relegated three. Given the club's performances in the last few transfer windows it sets us up as relegation favourites for next season.......and this is the direction the club is heading in given the way it is run and strength of the current squad.
We are where we are thanks to away results (home performances and results are the worst in the league) largely thanks to early season a\way results , being able to nick a goal and mass defemding. The limitations of which have become clear as the season has progressed.
In addition to which if you look at the sides below us there are issues at a number of them...Wigan and Blackpool having just come up havn't got Champ squads, Cardiff and Brum have major financial issues etc.
Because of the way the club has been run:
- squndering £million on failed signings and contracts
- failing to invest in the Academy and a progression system
- failing to grow commercial income
it hAS had to rely on the Hemmings money to keep going.
It is apparent that this is no longer available..hence the wage slashing that has been going on.
It also leaves us up the creek because the infrastructure has not been developed.
Hence until something is done about the way the club is run (at least removing Ridsdale) we are reliant on the manager and coaching staff being good enough to keep the club where it is .
Personally I'm happy with the defensive coaching I see....it's going forward and the standard of football and game management which are poor.
And who is responsible for this?
Yes Lowe has been dealt a poor hand and I accept he is trrying to build a younger (cheaper) more mobile squad playing to his design. Regrettabkly it is garbage to watch.

Terrific goal from Dolan for Rovers last night...wish we had a player who could put the ball in the net like that.

It will be interesting to see how he gets on. He would have been my choice the last two changes.

Give him 3 months likeable man not astute enough for the modern game. Like we have at the moment. Parry used us as an example today and I agreed with him and personally applaud the Hemmings family but we don’t think strategically and, excuse the pun ‘outside the box’ most of our signings have been costly and average for that I blame the Riddler. Now we have a manager out of his depth. Tactically naive. Collective responsibility is needed but what we have is the blind leading the blind.

Watford sack Slavan Bilic, another one bites the dust because they can't beat "a team like Preston".  |

Watford sack Slavan Bilic, another one bites the dust because they can't beat "a team like Preston". It happens so often because the rest of the country, e. g. South, think they should beat "little old Preston". Well give us some credit, we punch above our weight. Talking of which, can't we get Tyson on board. We'd play with some Fury under him! |

Watford just four points better off than us despite a squad probably costing 10 times more than ours.
Genuine question, would north end fans prefer the Watford model of sacking a manager every year when we feel we are underachieving?Seems to work for them.
