Preston North End (a) – Fri 18th Dec 19:45 – What Can We Expect?

[Coxy27]

Good grief. Is Taylor really that slow? Unbelievable. 

[Guest]

Until we get injured players back, the best we can expect is effort, and I don’t see anyone hiding away, we are simply second best all over the pitch, it’s going to be a long season, can we muster enough points to avoid a relegation battle?

[blockbrowt1]

Still no shot. What odds can you get from bookies for no shots at goal in a match?

Sleep walking into another Millen or tinnion situation albeit we already have enough points to comfortably survive...next season if it stays like this though!!!

How have we got enough points to survive? Where are we going to get another 20 points from? 

[big dosser]

hopefully some of the young lads get a chance and put side pride back in them red shirts

On the upside Bentley looks like a good advert for a Brentford Nylons eiderdown cover.

 

do you think he wears them purple crimplene trousers from eastville market too,the ones that rubbed the top of your legs sore

[Red Army 75]

We are absolutely diabolical.

To be fair Hunt is getting on the ball and trying to make things happen, there is just nothing ever on.

Moore is not the best left centre back .

That was my thinking, but whilst Mawson and Baker are out it seems to be the only place he can get in the 3-5-2. All his good performances at the beginning of the season were in the centre weren't they with Mawson in the left. With 4 right footed CB available for selection you'd think that we would either go 4 at the back or play one of b the more experienced CB in their weaker position, not someone fairly new to the championship.

[petehinton]

No one told me we reappointed McInnes 3 weeks ago ffs

[pl00peh91]

64% pass accuracy is abysmal

11 players out mate. Not sure what everyone expects? 

 

Well that, in itself is a shambles.

[Dan Robin]

Poor performance so far, while Preston was often dangerous...but at the moment the difference is a non-penalty.

Semenyo for Martin in the 2nd half?

[George Rs]

It’s funny to think that DH came in and said he was gunna play 5 at the back because it would get us up. He preceded to sell our most creative player in years , and sell 4 strong midfielders . And now after playing 5 at the back we have the 2nd least shots on target in the league. 
 

Lucky we got so many points at the start of this season because we are gunna need them at the end 

[Robin Wood]

Our fans are so fickle we've had a corner what more do they want 

[collier]

shots 0 

on target 0 

corners 1

Riveting stuff here, about to fall off the edge of my seat!!

[Banjo Red]

Nice to see we are hitting some form keeping up the don't have any shots ratio.

We don’t have a game plan- if we do- can you elaborate on what you’re seeing as our game plan? I don’t see one.

We have our best forwards available and midfielders,and defenders 

[Sitrom]

I still hate football.  

[old_eastender]

All the evidence from the last 2games and this one, shows that Holden was very much 'part of the problem' under LJ and certainly should not have been seen as the "breath of fresh air" answer!

And if it is, he doesn’t have the ability to cross to it.

Why do people wRiTe like tHiS?

[Gazred]

Boring, low on confidence and absolutely nothing in the final 3rd. May as well give a couple of the young players a go.

[Mihai]

DH, out. I said I can wait until Christmass, but I cant. 

Get him out and Mark Ashton, they can not do better. A league two could have one shot at the target, so do not tell me that we had injuries. Our reserves are at League one standard for sure at least.  It is just the liability of the head coach, he is a good lad but he s not a manager so get him out.

[WolfOfWestStreet]

Breath of fresh air? ... more like a hangover shart

This is pure shite and needs fixing 

[Mad Cyril]

Hungary '56, Brazil '70, Argentina '78, Barcelona '08, man City '17, Liverpool '19..... and now Bristol City '20..... football that just can't be coached...

Same as every ******* game mate. But if you haven't got the quality, you're going to struggle. It's really that simple. 

People saying that there isn't any fight or passion is absolute nonsense. 2 games a week, 11 players out and funnily enough we are struggling. 

Hardly rocket science. 

I'm assuming the other teams are also playing twice a week or is it just us?

[marcofisher]

I’d rather see us playing some positive football and battling relegation than this.

 

I find myself looking at OTIB more than the match it is that boring.

[Northern Red]

Moore needs bringing off, absolute liability.
