Hope that bench aren't too tired after their last day of term today

A whole week of training in the ball pit and soft play area will have taken a lot out of them.

As long as the jelly was locked away and they didn`t eat too many blue Smarties.

[Sheltons Army]

Trying to press but not fully committed to it

Personally I find combining a 5-3-2 with , a high press a difficult ask

 

Preston time wasting already .....

I’ve heard that they will be putting up a 20mph speed limit outside the training ground, and putting in a special car park for Mum’s to use when they collect their children at the end of trading.

[Lanterne Rouge]

Need to get at Rudd now, make him move quickly if we can.

[Dan Robin]

Slow start.

Now a goalkeeper gets injured, but strangely he isn't ours.

EDIT: he's still playing. Now it makes sense.

[Wade Wilson]

Is their keeper literally Achilles?

Yeah I agree and I feel its also exhausting to our players after a while...

Blimey that Conor Ripley is a unit. Wasn’t he linked here at one point - was supposed to be up and coming? Guess that didn’t go too well if he’s on Prestons bench now. 

[Lanterne Rouge]

Johnson up to his usual tricks then.

[Sheltons Army]

Johnson in standing On ball stopping free kick being taken shocker

[Lew-T]

Taylor Moore man.

Great minds

As @Davefevshas previously said we want to be pointing this out to the referee every time

COD did well to highlight it

[Bassomylord]

How is that not a booking for johnson

[Sheltons Army]

Brilliant cross a Jack Hunt

No one moving 

 

Edit

Martin tried tbf

Well done Jack

[Lanterne Rouge]

Terrific cross Jacko

[Kodjias Wrist]

PNE always getting away with shithousery.

[lenred]

Great ball from Hunt. You’d like to think one of our two strikers might get near it. 

[Bris Red]

Decent start to be fair

[Lanterne Rouge]

Ref`s letting a lot go

And Pearson`s not even playing

[Sheltons Army]

Tommy Rowe playing very high

Was on back post there for Hunts cross

[Kodjias Wrist]

Praying for no new injuries  

[Robin101]

Better team so far

[marcofisher]

Glad to see Massengo start, this will be more of an indication of where he’s at than last game.

 

 

[RUSSEL85]

Decent start but we do struggle with throw ins 

[Lanterne Rouge]

Do not let Sinclair run at you FFS!

[Bassomylord]

O dwoda kicks it straight out of play shock.

[old_eastender]

scrappy defending but got away with it

[Dan Robin]

Much space for Hunt on the right, Wells more lively than Martin so far.

Think it’s part of our DNA, as Im sure we’ve been rubbish at throw ins for as long as I can remember.
