[S64 Blade]

Hoping to go to this as it's not too far away from me! No one seems bothered though.

 

[Linz]

As of earlier "loads" left for Preston.

It's unreserved so if none of the lads are bothered, come and find us S64

 

[Monty's_Girl]

Got tickets for this, will be first away match without my dad! :thumbup:

 

[jodman]

Been down today to purchase tickets for this one; it's back to blackpool for a night on the tiles after watching the blades pick up another priceless 3 points away from home.

The bloke who served me said that there were several hundred remaining.

 

[Linz]

I assume people aren't looking forward to this one then?

 

[Bladesman]

We should be though as Preston had their arses handed to them by Swansea.

We should be though as Preston had their arses handed to them by Swansea.

To be fair, if they'd have finished their chances against us they'd have got about 8.

I'm not confident of winning this game, we've won there once in about 80 years and they're a good side at home.

I think we'll lose 2-0. I prefer games where I think we're going to lose anyway

[Come from away]

As someone said elsewhere, if we want to go wide let's play Cots and Hendrie on the wing and use Webber's speed down the middle where he has scored goals. We'll soon see. Knock em dead you Blades!!!!

 

[Foxy]

cotts isnt in the squad, unless he's decided not to warm up.

 

[BuryStEdmundsBlade]

Teams:

Preston: Lonergan, Chaplow, Mawene, Sedgwick, Nicholson, St Ledger, McKenna, Jones, Parkin, Nolan, Elliott. Subs: Hawley, Brown, Carter, Whaley, Neal.

Blades: Kenny, Halford, Naysmith, Morgan, Kilgallon, Henderson, Webber, Montgomery, Howard, Quinn, Naughton. Subs: Ward, Hendrie, Sun, Sharp, Bromby.

 

[BuryStEdmundsBlade]

Morgan off injured and Bromby on.

 

[eckington_blade]

0-0 half time

 

[BuryStEdmundsBlade]

Can't moan about that. So far so good.

 

[eckington_blade]

sounding alot better than tuesday

 

[BuryStEdmundsBlade]

Couldn't get much worse could it?!

 

[eckington_blade]

hopefuly not

 

[BuryStEdmundsBlade]

Quinn disallowed goal!

 

[eckington_blade]

 

[BuryStEdmundsBlade]

A good point but could have won it.

 

[Bladesman]

Should of won that.

Preston seemed awful.

 

[eckington_blade]

a chance missed by us today preston were below par

 

[BuryStEdmundsBlade]

That's the difference between us and the top 3...teams like Wolves would have gone there today and won 2-0 or 3-1.

 

[Kev Gee]

We will hardley score any more goals the rest of the season.

 

[Foxy]

Just back, was better, tried to keep it on the deck a lot more.

Should have won really, think we edged it.

Howard was a bit better, more involved in the game and put more effort in. Did his usual handball though and jumping with his elbow (how does he keep getting away with it?!).

Referee gave us bog all, should have had at least 1 pen. Parkin got away with murder, whilst any time there was a slightest excuse he gave a free kick against us.

Be interesting to see if we bring another centre back in, with Morgs going off early. Bromby stepped in and did well though.

Thanks for the report. Would have taken a point before the game so a good result.

 

[BuryStEdmundsBlade]

Haha, radio Sheffield read out my email.

 

[eckington_blade]

[Gazza1984]

Should of won that.

Preston seemed awful.

Good point I reckon

Preston had won previous six at home
