Port Said Red Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 After being one of the surprises at the very beginning of the season with 19pts from 10 games, they now have 21pts from 15 games. I understand they have four defenders out injured, I hope they don't rush back before the 21st November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 Just shows how important it is to have strength in depth in any squad.

Eastside Moonwalker Posted November 1, 2017 Report Share Posted November 1, 2017 Have a mate who’s a Preston fan, says all their defenders are injured with pretty big injuries. They’re playing a midfielder at the back atm as well as their 5th choice CB. Next game they have enough players to field the defence but have to go to the youth team for subs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course PSR but having quality replacements obviously heljps. That said if Wright/Hodur gets injured and Baker is absent thru injury - what then?

Whilst I’m sure they have numbers, their 2nd string probably lacks quality as opposed to the leagues big spenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless we can recall Taylor Moore? We have massive depth in defence and they are all quality, we have two back fours that I believe would compete in this league regardless of the combination.

Davefevs Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 Watched a bit of the second half of PNE V Villa last night. Thought Villa looked so in control, and although Preston huffed and puffed a bit, they never looked like scoring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pnefcok Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 We have 7 defenders out injured. It's not a training/intensity issue either. Clarke is a snapped achilles. Cunningham/Earl/Spurr/Woods all medial knee ligament. Ben Davies had appendicitis recently. Only minor strain was Vermijl who's a bit of a sicknote really and way down the pecking order anyway. Huntington was banned on Wednesday too so our CB pairing in the second half when Woods (RB filling in at CB) went off injured was Boyle (inexperienced, down the pecking order CB signed from Dundalk), and Browne (a CM). It's becoming a joke to be honest. Neil had a great start but this has been badly holding him back in recent weeks. Strengthening in January is vital. We do have an issue at times we squad depth but as Neil said, you can go on about we should've done this and that in the summer and etc. but you can't legislate for 7 defenders out injured, several of which are long-term/serious.

That is rough. Don’t think any team can cope without their first 7 defenders. We may be down 3 come tomorrow(Pisano, Wright and Baker) but still have adequate cover. Well RB may be an issue but have a young player with 5-10 appearances there for us plus 20 or so in L2. Preston NE’s attackers all seem good on paper though. Some good value buys it seems from afar. Barkuizen, Maguire and Robinson in recent years for very cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maguire is very good but this has just been announced - https://www.pnefc.net/news/2017/november/sean-maguire-set-to-undergo-operation/ Quote North End’s Irish international forward Sean Maguire will undergo an operation after picking up an injury to his hamstring. The No.24 has suffered a similar injury to the one that has ruled out Greg Cunningham since the second week of the season and is expected to be out for an extended period. The striker will join the likes of Cunningham, Tommy Spurr and Tom Clarke on a rehabilitation programme and the club wishes him a speedy recovery. Another huge blow to our season.

Is this going to be it do you think mate? I`m guessing you can`t spend bucketloads in January so presumably you`ll be relying on what you`ve done brilliantly at in the past - picking up rough diamonds for peanuts and turning them into good players?
