cidered abroad Posted January 16, 2021 Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 What can we expect? Should I buy £10 tv ticket or take dog for a walk on the beach? We've already lost at home to our jinx teams, Birmingham and Millwall, so why should it be any different today? Even the great god, Cotterill could not achieve a win! Maybe I will be proved totally wrong but why should another game against PNE be any different to the last ten years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proudpreston29 Posted January 16, 2021 Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 First of all , wow thats one hell of a good informative post to start a thread . Not sure @Davefevs should be sat on the bench with the manager. Just a little link to the https://pebbleleague.com/ PNE fans forum thread. https://pebbleleague.com/thread/9127/bristol-city-pne You are due a win against us , lets not hope its today though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted January 16, 2021 Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 I wonder if Dean reads Dave's prematch analysis and how much it differs from his own. I for one find it an essential read prior to the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting theory makes me think of the time as a young man I ventured to swim across the English Channel. I trained hard, greased myself up on a splendid spring morning and entered into the sea. It was choppy and very cold. Alas, I got to the halfway stage, realised I wasn’t going to make it and swam back to Blighty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coppello Posted January 16, 2021 Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 Bloody hell @Davefevs, a Fammy own goal and you've nailed it again. You need to change the title of these from 'what can we expect' to 'what will happen' so I can benefit financially from this analysis! Edit: He's just come off so maybe you're not all that.

Prinny Posted January 16, 2021 Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 What I did not expect was Preston to be so slow out of the blocks. they let us get up the field, and we took advantage, When we had the lead they looked really one paced. We had obvious weaknesses and they rarely to never threatened them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted January 16, 2021 Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 That was good- particularly our dominant start. We had to chase the ball in the 2nd half, for periods- but we had a second wind, culminating with the Vyner goal. We didn't have as much possession 2nd half or after first half hour in particular when we dominated all aspects aside, but we seemed to be in decent control even without that. First win vs Preston in 10 long years though- wow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted January 16, 2021 Report Share Posted January 16, 2021 First win in a long time against a hard working Preston. I must say I was impressed by how solid we were at the back. The midfield ran out of steam a bit though which isolated the forwards. I know he was protecting Diedhiou but I would've taken Martin off. I have been one of Holden's critics but credit where credit is due. A good all round performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only saw the second half and PNE had plenty of possession for a long period, but I was quite comfortable watching it - unlike previous games where we were hanging on and I would be waiting for us to concede. The defending and team shape was excellent and there was a bit more movement up top than usual. It was as close to a comfortable win that we've had this season imo.
