Genuinely asking for a friend. Can you buy tickets at the ground tonight , home tickets obvs.

Sorry if I missed it but will the searches be in place for Wednesday's game?

That's a great shout.

Loved that moment with the boot and Baker? flattening their player right in front of the lino who didn't appear to see it. I like this aggressive approach. Long overdue, I hope it continues. We've been a meek submissive side for too long. We just have to be clever with it.

It was the crowd that dragged the team over the line in the Barnsley game. Whoever he picks today, let's hope they can transfer what Nige sees in training , onto the matchday pitch, and give us something to cheer about rather than scream in frustration. Playing our striker through the middle with ground passes rather than lofted balls and pressing higher up the pitch mixed with a few tough challenges will get the crowd onside. Come on lads, it's time.

Quite like most of this but with both Simpson and Bakinson as 2 of a defensive 5, they would need to really up their game. Be interesting with the attack though but don't think Nige will be that adventurous.

Badly constructed is very true. No matter how good your bricks are, without the mortar it will collapse. This is our team at the moment. They are mostly decent players for this level but they do not bond as a team.

I sometimes wonder if many of our squad can actually read a game as it's progressing. Can they spot a potential weakness in the opposition and exploit it or are they playing exactly to instructions with no freedom to go off plan at all. I've noticed to many of them looking at the bench for instructions rather than playing a natural game. Anyone who's played will know that every attack or defensive move will be different in some respects. Sometimes you have to improvise rather than follow "the plan". Our players either can't or won't. They are so afraid of making a mistake that they continually take the safe option , and the momentum is lost. I think we are not necessarily a poor side, but we are boring and very predictable to watch.

We've played this way for a few years now. The difference now is that ALL teams know this and pressure us in the last 20 minutes. Eleven back for a corner against us, no quick outlet, no pace, constant back passes. We are sitting ducks.

Just wish we had a bit of fight in our team to believe we could turn a game round. Just shows what can happen if you attack til the end. Fair play Rovers, that's some comeback.

Tin hat on matey.

Based on which way both clubs are heading. Plus we couldn't beat an egg as things stand.

Good win for them with 10 men . It might not be pretty but they would give us a tough game atm. Think they may be turning a corner although it pains me to say it. Local derby next season anyone?

Good post. We definitely need our own identity rather than copy the model of others. We need to find a style and stick to it no matter who we are playing. I'm fed up seeing us change formation, players, tactics etc to counter the "strengths "of the likes of Blackpool or Barnsley or Preston etc. When we line up at home we all look at each other and ask what formation we are playing this week. It appears most games that the players don't know either!

Because the fans, sorry customers, don't matter.

When you need it you can always rely on laughing gas.

The Turners coach driver is going have a go. Reckons if we park the bus between the uprights and shut the windows, that will keep Blackburn out.

Been doing that most games.

Too many ITK people, good source people, speculation, and outright lies, and people who think they are NP. Think I'll be like another well known poster and wait till its on the OS!

The players don't listen to him???

It just bugs me that after 33 pages on this thread and 11 pages on the Gould thread, I still don't have a friggin clue what's going on with Nige or the club direction. (As usual)

Jesus what a mess this has become. If the academy coaches are not on board with "the plan"., how many others are anti Pearson.? Someone needs to grab this club by the balls, if we have any, and sort it out. We roll from crisis to crisis without a leader or direction.

A point. What's that? Can we have some please?

If you are correct about its taste today, it may be more like Mark Ashton. The older it gets the richer it becomes.

I've still got one unopened but it surely would be awful now, and probably poisonous. . Probably gone flat just like our club since those heady days. Has anyone actually drank it, even when it was new?
