Preston North End at home match thread

[Lorenzos Only Goal]

Duh duh duh duh fergie time.

[Fordy62]

Mid table is good for me. 

[Alessandro]

A good win - ground out performance, still lacking fluency up top but better application tonight all round.

[Fordy62]

You can see why Preston don’t score many. Not sure how their defence is so water tight tho. I thought they were poor. 

[BCFCGav]

Beat Norwich all you want… YOU’RE IN THE WEST COUNTRY NOW. 
 

GET IN ️️

Much better. Still some way off where we were a few weeks ago but a decent display against an awkward side.

[BasSavage88]

Tough win hopefully push on on Saturday with a bit of confidence 

[Ska Junkie]

Not the greatest but a win's a win and can only be good for confidence.

Well done boys.

That ref was a right bell end, i knew he would go over the actual 7 mins of stoppage time, the yellow cards were inconsistent

Scrappy game, both sides struggling to string three passes together but the result is all that matters after the piss poor performance at Brum.

 

[Major Isewater]

Well done lads.

I thought Klose did well on his return.

Congratulations to Max as well .

Semenyo gradually getting back into form. 

Result absolutely, desperately needed. Let’s carry this on for Millwall.

 

[Bris Red]

A win is a win, stop’s the slide. Onwards and upwards to another winnable game at home on Saturday.

[Major Isewater]

Louis Carey , take yer freaking cap off when yer indoors.

Silly foul by Klose from which they level, BUT he was exactly what we have been missing in terms of winning defensive headers time after time.

[Shelton’s Love Gravy]

I am delighted at this result and am going to drink a glass of still tap water, to celebrate .

One great delivery good enough today, can't be that bad overall in other games though. Consistency the key.

Well at least Little has done his home work on our small budget this year...

Much better performance Max O’Leary looked safe tonight introduction of Klose at back also helped to make defence look slightly more solid. Outstanding performance from Atkinson.

Deserved the win. Had numerous chances to put them to bed. Thought Klose looked solid and provided aerial prowess (although the foul leading to their goal was completely unnecessary). Scott great. Atkinson equally as good. Needed those 3 points. Hopefully we can find some form again.

I'm going to the Millwall game Saturday - my first game of the season. Hopefully can celebrate another 3 points! COYR

He also said we were struggling as we are so poor going forward

Only the top scorers in the division mind

[Ivorguy]

I really hope Atkinson’s two goals were a result of prepared tactics.  If so we’ll done. I’ve and the coaches.

[Jasper Testimitanu]

Scrappy, Keith Stroud in charge…so to get 3 points on that basis is massive, to that point how was that tackle from behind on Scott not a yellow? Scandalous but we’ve stopped the rot. 
 

onwards and upwards! 

[Gert Mare]

Needed that win. Preston didn’t offer much tonight and never looked like scoring until we were done by another set piece.

At times we squandered opportunities when a simple pass could have made the difference. I remember Semenyo shooting instead of playing it across the box when there were 2 players waiting to tap it in.

Still, we got out of jail thanks to Big Rob Atkinson with 2 good headers getting right in amongst it.

Hopefully that will give the players a lift going into the next game. We’ve not been at the races since the international break so it’s a welcome 3 points.

We rarely get anything out of Preston.

I was watching him and Klose at set pieces and it seemed like he was taking up an offisde position but in the areas where Klose was going to run. When Klose started his run, Atkinson ran away from goal then turned and followed in behind him.

PNE and Keith Stroud, not a good prospect.

But job done despite that.
