The Lancashire Thread

[roversfan2001]

Maybe they wanted to see the 2 biggest teams in Lancashire? Oh and you can take Elliot Ward if you want, shite time and time again.

Strange timing for that after last night's crowd.

We had Ward on loan a while back and yup, utter shite.

I know we're only 5 games in, but Preston having simultaneously conceded the least goals and having the worst scoring record in this division is unusual.

I don't think it's that unusual considering our three away games were Derby, Leeds and Boro who I would associate with good defences. Our two home games were also Sheff Wed and Reading who finished in the play-offs, again, no slouches at the back.

I'm confident we'll bag plenty this season, every fan probably says this but we've been unlucky in front of goal, hit the woodwork three times which would have seen us with an extra 4pts.

I wasn't making making a criticism (difficult after only 5 games), just pointing out that it's unusual; a novelty.

Ironically, Norwich fans said we would score plenty but have a defence like a sieve under Neil.

Still early days though like you say.

Even more reason to swap us Gallagher for a proven goalscorer in Graham then eh?

Gally has been great for us but I wouldn't be against moving him on if we bring in another midfielder.

Graham is on very good money at your place supposedly, also don't know why we would pay a decent fee for a 32yr old who wouldn't start I don't think, even if we sell Hugill. I think the Elliot Bennett rumour is more likely, but I don't see where he would fit in either.

Most likely scenario is that these rumours are all a load of bollocks.

Aye, Mowbray replied with "First I've heard of it" when questioned about the rumours last night. I'd be happy if it was to happen, Graham has looked very disinterested this season and Gally is a Rovers fan so would definitely have the passion, even if the ability isn't there anymore. I don't see where he'd fit in with Dack, Whittingham and Smallwood all very good CMs at our level.

I think Gally is a Celtic fan (i think i read that anyway) but obviously he has a big connection with Blackburn.

He's still got ability and can look an absolute don at times pinging it around but the team has a lot of pace in it these days and Gally can't offer that. Class option on the bench but he deserves regular football somewhere, top bloke.

Clarke Carlisle missing.

Worrying.

Found by the Greater Manchester Police now I believe

Maxwell finally gets a Wales call up, about fucking time!

Maguire and Horgan in the Irish squad, thought Browne might have been involved again but I suppose they're pretty well stocked in midfield.

 

[SF_]

We still need to bin off Vermijl, Boyle and Doyle (I swear he got a blood clot on purpose. Twat).

O'Connor could do with a loan spell too if Earl is back to full fitness.

And as much as I love him, it may be time on Welsh's PNE career if we can find another midfielder in his mould.

When is Tommy Spurr back? He was class at the start of the season.

Bolton selected as Gentry day and there are no fucking trains between Preston and Manchester.

That's that one shit all over.

 

[LeylandWhite]

It's my birthday that weekend so was looking forward to a day sesh in Manchester with the football thrown in. No trains running has fucked that idea up.

 

[T.A]

Mega bus - it's the future.

 

[TomPNE94]

Northern Rail still saying in Twitter that the trains are running that day but BTP told the club there’s none. Sounds like BTP just trying to put as many people off going on the train.

PC Elliot checking it out tomorrow.

Has it been confirmed that there will be no trains for this one?

No trains, just replacement buses.

Grim, it's not like there is anything to do on that soulless retail park either if you get an early bus.

Might actually go on the official fucking coach and not bother drinking.

Bit like visiting your place, only we have more places to grab some grub, and there are 15 pubs in horwich to have a drink at

That makes no sense. We have places to grab grub and loads of pubs. It's called the city centre and it's 15 minutes down the road.

Eh? we're a 20 minutes walk from the town centre, there's a Labour club 5 minutes away, a massive pub less than 10 minutes away, another 3 pubs on Meadow street and a big retail park 5 minutes away with loads of places to eat.

How far is Horwich centre on foot? The closest pub doesn't allow away fans does it?

Beehive is closest away pub 2 minutes walk pub and always has away fans in. Horwich town centre is 20 minutes walk, on the middlebrook there are 6 places to grab food, not including Tesco or Asda. The shitest thing about the fixture this season is no trains, plenty of places to get a pint and a pie otherwise

I stand corrected then, I don't know the area at all and assumed Horwich centre wasn't within walking distance.

The retail park itself is no place to spend time pre-match though, away days don't include Chiquito's for me.

If you 'd have said that the Macron is a souless modern stadium, great facilities but shit atmosphere, and Burnden was an old ground with shit facilities, as rough as hell but good atmosphere, i would have agreed with you. same with deepdale, as nice as the stadium is, I much prefered the old undeveloped ground, stuck behind the goal, squashed in like sardines

Agreed.

Guessing there's next to no chance the game will be called off on Saturday?

Imagine there is undersoil heating? only worry is ice in the surrounding areas which I remember got a game called off at Deepdale once.
