Overthehills
Long term sufferer - Ever optimist
In no way affiliated with and definitely a substandard product to Roygbiv offerings…
I’m obviously based over the Cheshire way and a colleague of mine is a PNE fan. We regularly discuss what we call proper football (what with being surround by United and Citeh fans) and over the weekend we had a natter about how Hecky had settled in at their place.
Anyway he was actually praising Hecky whilst perhaps reserving a bit for hopefully later down the line.
He placed a good bit of emphasis on how Hecky and Macca have simply tidied them up and have quickly ensured that the basics are being done correctly. Bear in mind at the beginning of the season my mate had already relegated his lot, stating just how poor they were. But now he talks of a team that has been given shape and who are harder to break down.
Speaking of the Watford game he doesn’t really know where that performance and result came from, he said he definitely didn’t see it coming after an average first half. He did however highlight that Hecky seems to have got them playing to their strengths and utilising the pace the have on the counter. He says that they tend to win more set pieces going forwards these days and just tend to be in the opposition box a lot more.
He is reserving his praise til after January, but says the early signs are positive. He is happy with how Hecky has steadied the ship but points out that a few players are needed in January and will cast judgement after that. He does feel however that they look more like a middle table team than a relegation threatened team and feels they will probably draw more than they lose.
I hold his opinion in regard to be fair. He is a season ticket holding, home and away, die hard Preston fan and he speaks plenty of sense when it comes to football. He is ordinarily complimentary towards us and isn’t overly fond of the pigs or their supporters.
