We are top of the league

Learnardo Trotski.

 

[GKhantRebel]

Vini looks like he's having fun out there.

 

[gooseh]

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

We are top of the league

Blackburn again.

 

[SUFCinks]

Silky skills from brooks there and terrible miss from moore from 5 yards

 

[knowsnowt]

Moore just displayed giraffe legs.

 

[gooseh]

Interesting to see how Slimane will play here

 

[Irv]

Brooks has been quality second half, would have had two or three assists if his mates had their shooting boots on. Who needs Rak-Sakyi!

 

[Ldn_Rd_Blades]

Are we looking comfortable in the new formation?

Very

 

[Shadota]

Wonderful run by Brooks. That deserved so much better from Moore.

Very happy with this display so far.

 

[Sithblade]

Brooks is giving Saka vibes, hope he can reach those heights in the Championship.

 

[CornwallBlade]

Moore just displayed giraffe legs.

Absolutely brilliant from Brooks- how TF did Moore miss that though?

 

[Sheffsteel]

Are we looking comfortable in the new formation?

Yes really comfortable although Brooks isn't really a winger
but you can't really judge because PNE have looked nearer league 1 standard.
It's great to see a proper midfield again......brings back memories of Coutts, Fleck and Duffy.

We're overplaying a bit and trying bits of show boating but O'Hare is playing some lovely one touch stuff with Hamer
and Arblaster looked so calm and composed, well beyond his years,

Feel sorry for the PNE fans....their team just haven't turned up. Once we went 1-0 up, they surrendered the game.

 

[knowsnowt]

Absolutely brilliant from Brooks- how TF did Moore miss that though?

his inner bambi found an outlet.

 

[Ldn_Rd_Blades]

Preston are going down

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Lovely by Brooks there. Formation doesn't suit the squad right now but a good advertisement to potential wingers!

 

[SUFCinks]

Brooks has been fantastic!

 

[Westran]

Tenners on Brewster getting a season ending injury in the next 15mins

 

[knowsnowt]

Surely rugby is the home of Rugby?

 

[Rusty]

Thank fck... the bedwetters should have a night off

 

[Westran]

Or scoring a worldy

 

[Chris the Blade]

Billy would have scored a hat full in this team

 

[Belvedere Blade]

Brooks has been brilliant game tonight @ Deepdale. Shame Moore couldn't put that cross in the back of the net Brooks put through

 

[Sparky_Blade]

Brooks has been fantastic!

Did we sign him up to a decent contract?

 

[SUFCinks]

Did we sign him up to a decent contract?

No idea, hope so

 

[knowsnowt]

Did we sign him up to a decent contract?

98 denk paid over 16 installements.

 

[SUFCinks]

Get marsh in for ohare
