Match Thread Preston NE v The Mighty Blades

[cahill]

Côme on’Samir time to step up lad. Time for Sharpe to score, share the load with Leon

 

[Antonb]

Playing well so far

 

[Rufus Smalls]

Seeing plenty of the ball out wide but crossing into the box a bit poor at the moment

I’m in a restaurant in Singapore and I’ve just spied they have Peroni on tap.

If this isn’t the omen we’re all looking for, then I don’t know what is.

It would be nice to get a few unexpected wins after playing well in a few games recently and not getting the deserved victory.

We need to remember the art of defence a little.

I can see Bash and Lundstram in the middle of the park. I’m slightly over my “throw Brooks in” moment, unless it’s for Billy. We could do with a bit of Big Sam back to basics on defending.

I’d take a bit less overlapping centre backs in this one and happily have the experience of Wright and Stearman alongside O’Connell.

Given we’re away, not losing wouldn’t be the worst. Perhaps Knill can step in and stop Wilder subbing the whole defence and throwing forwards on. “Come on Chris, leave it. He’s not worth it!”

Despite our wobble, a win puts us 13 above Wednesday once more. How their form has nosedived!

Peroni now in hand, come on you Red and White Wizaaaaards!!!

which restaurant are you in?

 

[Iceybabey]

Lacking that killer ball. Front two have not had much to feed on. This is where Duffy comes into it for me.

 

[Antonb]

Been the better side again , but final ball rubbish again

 

[super_pig]

what time is the worldy from Preston due??

 

[Antonb]

Yep same pattern, much the better side overall, but nothing to show for it.

 

[Iceybabey]

Carruthers is struggling. Get Lavery on and change the shape a little second half

 

[Antonb]

Would have took a point but watching that, no reason why we can't go for the win

 

[dazzlingblade]

well that was thrilling!!! too much aimless long stuff. god we miss those 3, before id have taken a point. but they are bloody awful. hopefully its our turn to steal a 1-0 with a 30 yarder

 

[originaltrueblade]

Carruthers too slow on the ball about time Lavery had a chance

 

[shrubbery]

Yep same pattern, much the better side overall, but nothing to show for it.

Much the better side? That’s some of the worst midfield ball retention I’ve seen since Wilder arrived.

Don’t think we’ll get anything from the game if we carry on like that.

Was always going to be a struggle with 3 first teamers missing from the centre of the park.

 

[FinchleyBlade]

Same old pattern is coming. We will have most of the game and they will score and nick it.

That’s my feeling too but always live in hope that Clarke can win it

Samir not cutting it then ?

 

[cahill]

Do like Lavery hope his shocking injury doesn’t make him over anxious to tackle and make him less effective, brave lads those Irish. He is Irish isn’t he ?

 

[Iceybabey]

Carruthers is struggling. It's the simple things he struggles with and it's very frustrating to watch.

 

[Migster]

Sami doing ok, but Lundstrum has been poor, panicking on the ball with no composure or vision. Bash is just being bash tbh.

 

[Tom Bott]

Nothing more than Duffy and Brookes being ill.

Were they sharing a room in Dublin ??

Not saying we have been brilliant, but still better than them.

No

Disagree about Lunny. He got sloppy towards the end of the half but before that he was the best midfielder on the pitch. Even got Gallagher booked. Sami is the link between midfield and up front and in that half he was missing for the most part.

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

These are not a good side. In full flow we'd have pissed all over these with a first XI.

Carruthers has been shocking.

Sounds like their well on top at moment

Don’t

They are this second half.

Been watching a different game to me.

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

Been coming, this second half we've been shocking.
