Preston North End away match thread

[Kodjias Wrist]

We normally concede when we are faced with that sort of pressure. Well done city.

Look really good, very comfortable. Our counter is a constant threat 

You've posted this on a Match day thread whilst the game is ongoing? Are you looking to jinx us?

RobinsTV suggesting it was a tactical change.

Yeah, strange one if it's tactical, maybe he just wanted someone more active in movement to help with the long balls?

[petehinton]

Would be amazed if Naismith wasn’t injured. Uses up one of ‘sub windows’ so early

[old_eastender]

Bell and Wells getting no change out of their defenders, maybe we will see Mehmeti & Cornick soon into the 2nd half

In Benidorm today, all bars I look at are just showing poxy prem league games. Can’t find SSN anywhere so many thanks to my OTIB comrades for providing the updates.  COYR

My only criticism of Naismith was he kept whacking long balls, but he did contribute to the goal

Yeah - I feel there has to be something that's not obvious. I know Pearson makes bold calls at times but I cannot believe he's taken off a key player after 30-odd minutes in a game where we're winning.

I think because we keep hitting lingerie balls. We need some build up play.

City are working incredibly hard but harder than they need to.

Edit...

I'll leave the autocorrect in there!

True. The rewards are scanty.

A beautiful 20 yard pass by Scott with the inside of his foot to Bell, but tackled by a PNE defender and both players down.

James losing nearly every 50/50 ball is not helping our cause.

It`s our stock in trade but only ever offers a brief respite.

Noticed that. Last week he won everything.

Bit pants isn’t it. Maybe we will stop hitting the thong ball!

We need a player from the Basque Country. Or Teddy Sheringham.

[Curr Avon]

Alan Browne struggling with a knock. Shame.

Yes.  Dreamland
