I really struggle with Dasilva. His end ball is more often than not shocking.

Me too would so much prefer Pring to him

Where is everyone? More gaps in the ground then there is in our defence on a normal Saturday 

Cheapest adult ticket was £30 (with a membership)... Say no more

A better display but worrying again that we have created next to nothing 

It was always coming IMO. We weren’t going to carry on scoring 3 or 4 in every single game..

[petehinton]

That was ******* dull

We look decent until we get to the final 3rd and then awful. Sykes and Dasilva's final ball non existent again. 

But how can that be possible with Wiemann, Conway & Semenyo 8n the team..?! 

WTF have we been working on in training for the last few weeks..? 

The only positive side of our game was our attacking fluency, but since the Burnley game we've posed virtually zero threat to any team since.

One per game is the minimum required though

[ralphindevon]

Done ok but as soon as we get near the opposition box we turn into Downs league players.

Anyway, an improvement on Saturday 

[HOZDA]

A much improved performance. Look much more threatening but blimey these hopeful shots and final balls (particularly the wingbacks) have been shocking! Conway sadly not in the game much. Second half to go - coyr!

[richyy66]

Display of a team with little or no confidence

Sykes, cr@p  cross again, the sooner Wiulson is fit the better, Sykes crossing has become so poor.

I get that people are frustrated with him but from what I read of him he never was a right back, he was more of an attacking central player. Pearson has obviously chosen to use him as our wing back and I think its probably because his overall drive is high. It doesn't surprise me that a central attacking midfielder struggles with crossing. I think he'd actually be a hell of a lot better if he was played in the middle but for some reason Pearson likes him there, probably because he's the best player capable of playing there that is fit and able to play at this level. 

[Fordy62]

Well I thought it was ok. We largely dominated. But need a bit more sense on the final ball. 

Pro footballers never cease to amaze me with their shooting. That’s what they’re paid to do, but all they do is fire it miles over!

Almost identical to the Cov game this. Nice touches around the middle from Scott and Williams, but soon as we go out side or in the final third, we are shite and predictable.

Hey I’ll have you know my team scored 3 on the downs last Saturday

It’s the same for this Saturday too

[The Journalist]

I think we’ve broadly played alright, but again the delivery into the box has been so poor.

I’d hook Conway at half-time and put Martin on. Ditto Dasilva for Pring.

Weimann and Williams both having more influential games, though.

[old_eastender]

Like to see Wells for Conway and Pring for JD for second half.

[Midlands Robin]

some occasional moments where we look quite sharp but not much to sing about so far. Happy to go in 0-0 but we need far more effort in the second half.

Yes. I buy a season ticket, watch the games and listen to the podcasts to be an undercover wind up gas head.... You ******* idiot 

Perhaps be a bit more positive then. Your constant negative posts are a bit odd.

[cityexile]

Certainly better than at Birmingham, but that is a very low bar. Preston happy to be well organised at the back and hope to nick one at some stage, which you would not back against them doing. Does not make for great viewing however.

Got in some promising positions, but that’s about it. We could do with an ugly 1-0 and it’s still there, but Preston seemed to be growing in to it. Not scored in the last two matches and a half. Given how we set up that is clearly a worry.

We don't look like scoring one that's the worry.

[miketh2nd]

Like a lot of teams of late we are forced out wide , Preston's 3 cb's happy for Sykes or Dasilva to have the ball so they don't get caught by our fast front two. So whilst I think the movement of our front two could be better when said wingbacks get the ball high up the pitch , we need to have players running past the front two and for the front two to link up more with where we are finding space.

There must be plenty of people in my position - STH for me & my 8 year old. 

Midweek games are too late on a school night, so I'm home with him. 

I saw something mentioned a while back that some clubs (Wycombe..?) 

Let Child season tickets be used by an adult, for no extra cost, for midweek games - I think that's a great idea that we should look at for midweek games.

Apologies.

TBF we’re still second top scorers in the league despite not scoring for about 4 hours now.

[Lew-T]

Can we stop these aimless shite crosses?

Football clubs are going to have to give some serious consideration to POTD or buying tickets for the odd game.  The way  things are going at the moment we’ll be seeing more empty seats at grounds

What was negative? I didn't call Alex Scott a *** that needs to be dropped into the ocean. I said his set pieces are crap and never beat the first man.

Agree, that’s a good idea
