The substitution was made trying to run the clock down instead of keeping concentration and focus.
If the 11 on the pitch had kept derby scoreless for 93 minutes, why on earth did cook think that they wouldn’t keep them scoreless for 94 minutes?
Best players? We flogged the dud Grigg and Power who is out of his depth in this division.
Blackburn finished 8 points ahead last season and never flirted with relegation.
They are urrently 16 points ahead and on the brink of a play-off place.
Why is it that the two teams with the same managers and roughly the same squad have moved at such a different pace since promotion? Blackburn should be our benchmark for success or failure and the owners should be asking Cook as to why we are not at least close to them in terms of league position.
Like Rovers fans celebrating winning the league 2 seasons ago when they went 8 clear but we had 4 games in hand.Its sad to see the difference in how the two teams have progressed since then, despite being of similar size, crowds, competition for support etc.
We have dropped 20 points from winning positions. Had we not have dropped those points, we’d be 3rd in the league from all accounts.Have you offset your figure with the 10 points we have gained from losing/drawing positions?
This weekend sees the end of the regular season, and by Monday evening we will know which 24 teams will be in the Championship.From a selfish point of view, which of the 4 clubs would we be happier facing next season – Villa or Derby, Charlton or Sunderland?
For me, I’d rather have Villa & Sunderland. Not only will both fill the North Stand and give us some cash, but we have a decent record against them.
Well, I for one am disappointed that there will be less games next season with a cracking atmosphere. Villa’s away support are always noisy and plentiful. Sunderland are the only club that have managed to pack out the East Stand, and cannot be classed as “Glory Hunters”. Packed away ends tend to make for a better atmosphere at the DW which can be pretty soulless when the visitors are dotted around the North Stand.
We’ve traded Bolton, Ipswich & Rotherham for Luton, Barnsley & Charlton. We’ve lost Norwich, Sheff Utd and Villa, to be replaced by Fulham, Huddersfield & Cardiff. I don’t see any of those six home fixtures as ones where there’ll be a great atmosphere, whereas at least 4 of the 6 we’ve lost were great days.
This is a real tough one. Really depends on how many PNE fans can be arsed paying £30 on a Bank Holiday for what is a dead rubber for them.
I’m going for 13105
Good steal at the 11th hour Pie Mon.Thanks. As we already knew that Norwich had sold 5,000 and that U18s could go for free, I was surprised nobody else went north of 15K.
The Preston game will be a lot harder to predict as we dont know how many tickets they’ll shift.
They are more concerned about the replacement bus service than the opportunity to send us down and dance on our grave. Tickets aren’t selling fast either.
Preston would love to relegate us and will really be up for itPreston don’t give a shit about us. Blackburn & Bolton are their rivals.
