Well, that was shocking. Preston seemed up for it and we didn’t. Too many poor performances. Preston were dirty bastards though.
CJ far far far worse than Anderson. Worst player on the pitch by miles.Keshi has had an absolute mare out there tonight. Shouting and flailing his arms at all and sundry whilst his own performance has been terrible.
Back starting too soon
?We were the better team for most of the game, but the ref bottled at least two big decisions where Preston should have players sent off.
We missed a decent attacking right-back tonight.
What I mean is that we've fought hard to win points and put ourselves in a secure position relatively early in the campaign - maybe it takes it's toll. Of course all sides have played the same - surely you could grasp what I meant?The season has only been as long as everyone else’s.
Well 5 yellow cards so not exactly blaming the refAww let's blame the ref
Exactly, but some goons don't see that. Who else is there that's anywhere near as creative as he can be? But it was just like saturday in that we are so one dimensional in our style of play. Get the ball wide and hope! Not an ounce of creativity in central midfield.Nothing came off for Bowler tonight but I forgive him because at least he was trying to make something happen.
Not really, whilst I understand your point I don’t agree. If they can’t play a hard season in the Championship they should drop down a division, everyone knows it isn’t easy and if they can’t hack it, move.What I mean is that we've fought hard to win points and put ourselves in a secure position relatively early in the campaign - maybe it takes it's toll.

Oh give over, preston were the stronger team, no movement from our players and were always back passing, I stopped counting after 436 back passes. What were critters tactics. Poor game and we know what we need to compete.We were the better team for most of the game, but the ref bottled at least two big decisions where Preston should have players sent off.

WankerPlans changed for Saturday. Not going to Ewood after that shite.
Sorry usually the ref's faultWell 5 yellow cards so not exactly blaming the ref
4 cards actuallySorry usually the ref's fault
Why its his money and choice fans get pissed offWanker
The Pool players have had to do more running around to make up for their lesser quality compared with other Championship players who cost millions. Our players have done brilliant to stay up.The season has only been as long as everyone else’s.
At least giving some of the second string a chance to prove themselves will provide some interest to the fans.We weren't good but " completely ruined the season".
They are an established Championship Club like it or not. We are the first team for three years to go up via the playoffs and stay up.
Have some perspective and man up, good chance to give Beesley, Dale and Kirk a run now.
Agree - should of shown some intentWhy the negative starting line up? We're not going up or down so why not go for it, play two up top and CJ and Bowler supporting.
He's got Anderson coming back from injury and Robson who's no where near Championship level. Poor from NC.
It's all soooo predictable!
Yeh...It's Critchley's fault we've got two really good ones who are injured.We were the better team for most of the game, but the ref bottled at least two big decisions where Preston should have players sent off.

£5 million…are you on crack?No fight and really powder puff attackers again. If anyone offers five million for Bowler snap their bloody hand off.
I agree, the first aim for this season was consolidating, we have done that. However most of these players have reached the maximum of their capabilities, if we don’t have a major overhaul in the summer we will be in trouble next season. We took a lot of teams by surprise this season, it won’t happen next.The Pool players have had to do more running around to make up for their lesser quality compared with other Championship players who cost millions. Our players have done brilliant to stay up.
League one team?…so a League One team finishing mid table in the championship?…in that case they’ve done very wellWe have been shit tonight, but we have a league 1 team out on the pitch. We seriously need to offload several players this summer because we have too many just not good enough and sadly bought in players this season not good enough.
Players I would sell/release:
James, Garbutt, Keogh, Dougall, Dale, CJ, Kirk, Robson, Ward, Bowler and possibly one of the forwards, that would leave a squad of 15. We have to get players in who will improve us and who will allow us to push for the top 6, some on that list just aren't going to do that.
Not running into space, it's been like that for most of the season, it's my pet hate.Well that was absolutely dreadful, wasn’t it?! The amount of times we advance and nobody is running into space is ridiculous. Fancy starting a counter attack then stopping in your tracks to pass backwards. Seen far too many times. Every one of those players are clearly in holiday mode already.
Weak.As BHOK says, we edge the honours on aggregate!
No risk of relegation, and no playoff hope so there's nothing wrong with experimenting, but at least play as if you want to win.don'r want to be too critical of Critch but I'm not sure how he could justify that starting line up.
