Cheers matey

 

[fatpat]

oh no...you know what that means then...

 

[Stretch]

Get these by the scruff of the neck from minute 1, with an early goal. Their confidence is shot so we need to exploit it.
Otherwise, if we let them settle it could be long, frustrating afternoon.

 

[BigBed]

We need to crack on with these and find our scoring boots again!
The last 2 games have been dire, were better than this, I'm looking for a 3-1 win satdy, we need it, the players need it, so hopefully Chris starts a strong side!, Freeman back in cos he's better than Baldock, Sharp has to start, and I'd play him next to Washington to add a bit of pace up front, surely we can pull a win out against these!!??

COYWARW!!

Brum also came with great apprehension and then slowly realised they could beat us. God help us if a team comes to BDTBL and plays on the front foot from minute one?

 

[bibbity bobbity boo]

Looking forward to this one, a very win-able game. Get an early goal and I can see us doing another "Villa"

Can't get any worse than Wednesday night can it?

 

[pesch the mini genius]

back to the team against Villa, ( our best team which should start every game injury/ suspensions permitting )

Norwood , put your boots on the right feet and back to what we have seen pre- Brum please !

Like Villa did?

I think it was different with Brum, having seen them on TV twice they are a decent side that at the moment can not find the net. Sounds like pne are just playing dire stuff.
Agree we need to hit them from the off. We do have a history of letting poor sides off the hook.

You missed off a musical track.

Typical bloody Roygbiv doing half a job! This would never have happened when you were young and keen but now you are an S2 4SU superstar, you are taking the mick. Holidays and everything....

Go on, I'll do it for you:

 

[GuangzhouBlade]

Doesn't seem all that long ago that Preston were a solid Championship club who many including myself said we should be looking to emulate. Weird how quickly things can change in football. In both league games last season we struggled massively they looked solid and that bit sharper with the ball so what's happened? Not knowing too much about Preston have they sold a load of players?

Music is for post match only. Hardcore Roy fans know that

I'd love somebody to come out and attack. We struggled so much for the first hour on Weds because they were so deep. With Fleck, Duffy, Norwood, Freeman, Stevens you want the ability to counter attack. And defensively we've done pretty well

That point had never penetrated my thick skull so shame on me!

I'll lay off the abuse then, for a day or so.

 

[Hamburg Blade]

These are the games we have to win if we are to make anything of this season.

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

Nice stuff, weird one!

I prefer my view from to be filled with cocky arrogance and healthy amounts of bile and bitterness towards us. And no S6 bollocks, things must have picked up at the Rust Arena.

 

[Fulwood Blade]

We need to win this game of football.

There might well be 38 games left - but to finish top 6, we have to beat a team in the bottom 3.

UTB

 

[itsinyerblood]

According to those comments you'd think all we needed to do was stand in the centre circle muttering "After you Claude" to one another.

No assumptions, get at 'em, and do the basics well.

The problem with very winnable games are the struggling teams playing away from home will usually sit back and park the bus.

Birmingham defended in numbers clearly trying to keep the score 0-0 and we struggled to create any chances.
Remember during the league 1 promotion season at home to Fleetwood, we attacked non stop but hardly created a single chance.
Then we went out a bought James Hanson, lumped it into the box and looked far more dangerous when teams parked the bus.

There’s a good chance that Saturday could be another frustrating boring game
Where PNE show no ambition and just sit back packing their defence.

Agree that once we score the game should open up
But I suspect that PNE will let us dominate midfield and just sit back and defend for their lives denying any space for our passing style. Could be a struggle and similar to the Birmingham game.

Having seen Preston a few times (my mates a big PNE fan) I can confirm they started the season unspecularly but have lost some key players up top and in his words are "3 points for the taking"

I was surprised when I heard on soccer Saturday last week, that preston havent won since opening day. I was expecting them to be a top 10 team so to see them bottom of the league was a surprise. we have to win this because they for the taking & you have to win these games if we are looking at the play offs. but the 3 games we had last season weren't classics bit like birmingham they were all 1-0 & the fa cup we won were workmanlike with a penalty

 

[super_pig]

selection problems?
what ? like how to fit everyone in?

 

[grafikhaus]

Looks like somebody from here has snuck onto their forum:

Clarke is fucking awful but plays every week.

[Liverpool blade]

Cheers Roy. They’re not full of confidence are they?.
Didn’t realise they’d got Amber Rudd in goal!!!. Lol

That's why Billy has to start - if we can get the ball pinging around the box we'll know he'll get in the right place at the right time. Get a goal and we could end up with a few (as long as we don't concede).
