Another injury time goal - Backwell! (Last min equaliser). Hopefully we can make this more commonplace as opposed to being on the receiving end!

Always appreciate your (or any other posters!) analyses. Really helps highlight the intricate details and technicalities in terms of formations, movement, shape, counters, transitions etc. The little things you don't really notice or see when watching live. Thanks for the summary. Must say, I do find we have often struggled to break down 5atb formations, especially at home. I hope we have found a breakthrough. Great performance today. Hoping my first game this season will be at AG vs Birmingham. Can't wait! COYR

Absolutely brilliant - great away performance!

Preston North End home match thread
HOZDA replied to Jerseybean's topic in The Havanatopia Match Day Archive
As Nige states and others have referenced: if you're not going to win, don't lose. Never easy vs Preston. Despite them playing well, they were certainly not close to full strength, so I'd be quite encouraged if I was them. We didn't have the intensity we claim/aim to play with. Poor ball retention. Also lacked creativity in midfield, a concern if/when Scott goes. Someone like their 10 would benefit us as a replacement. Internally we have Mehmeti perhaps or Benarous when back? Defence looked pretty solid. Vyner really good from what I saw. Not the best start but not the end of world either. Glad football is back regardless! -
Preston North End home match thread

A rather defensive setup for Preston and an inexperienced bench. Looking at ours, we have some real quality and dynamism to come on as the game progresses. First game in front of a packed out Ashton Gate - I have a real positive feeling about today and the whole season. Another season begins! Best wishes and good luck to the club's players, staff and fans! COYR -
Squads with solid depth and stamina are certainly going to exceed this season. I'd like to put us into that category!

Cheltenham Town away pre-season friendly Tuesday 25 July 745 pm KO
HOZDA replied to Jerseybean's topic in Football Chat
Nice to see more goals from different areas of the pitch, especially from defenders, something Pearson and co have voiced wanting to achieve more this season. Really promising so far! -
Superb! Justice for the awful decision. What a keeper!
-
Decent draw. Dickie to score and kick-start his City career!
-
Really excited and optimistic for next season. Getting the deals in early. We've had a good range of experience/age profiles so far - looking forward to seeing Roberts! Hopefully a more attacking signing next?!
-
Never leave games early! Brilliant

What are your immediate end of season thoughts?
HOZDA replied to Jerseybean's topic in Football Chat
Content overall. Although performances on the pitch could have been better, the changes behind the scenes (e.g. improved wage structure and getting rid of dead wood) have been imperative. Things will only improve in the future. The development and introduction of academy players has been great to see. I'd much rather witness this, than have a number of prem youngsters play and inevitably leave at the end of season - which a lot of teams have been heavily reliant on. Excited to see more young talent for us. The growth in togetherness, resilience and squad spirit has been encouraging. The loss of Semenyo was felt and the probable sale of Scott, despite being arduous to accept, could see us as a more solid and balanced team next season (pending a good summer window!). I am excited for next season and fully trust Nige and the staff to push us on. -

An example as to why Pring is my POTY choice! What a season - so effective at LB! Good finish too. More importantly, converting early when on top, something we've struggled to do the last few games -

Excited with this team. Really strong bench with plenty of versatility. Glad Pring is back at LB. Plenty of pace and movement up top with James/King to provide cover, tenacity and control. Hopeful for 3pts - COYR -

That did take a nasty deflection but damn what a miss -

Should have cleared it first time, then plays them on, poor from Pring. Can't wait for him to go back to LB. Good game though - need some subs -

Said he deserves it - brilliant! -

Brilliant and rightly deserved! Best game for Cornick so far I'd say, be great if he could get a goal, but a great assist nonetheless. Well done Sammy, another great performance. Same for JD. Really solid team performance. You'd think we were the team in the playoffs! And doing this without Scott and all the injuries on top. Hopefully we can carry this on 2nd half. I'm personally really excited for the summer and next season. COYR -
