Probably

Must have been bizarre/painful to watch them this season so far. 9 games played, only 3 scored and 2 conceded. Plenty of time to nip out for 3 course meal let alone a pie.

The dam will have to burst sooner or later. If we score early they may crumble and we'll bag a hatful.

We parked at sainsburies right next to ground. Need a parking app.

Queued up all night to pay my respects to this thread.

It's what the thread would have wanted.....

Tricky awayday this one. They got a point off Burnley last time out. We can win but we need to be playing towards our best.

Two up top today. See how the midfield copes with Berge playing deeper. Hard not to play Brewster, if fit, given we paid......, but still, bit of a gamble. Good to see Sharp on the bench. It's an attacking line-up but questions around whether we'll be overrun in the middle.

Be 3421 I think with Ndiaye in the Duffy role. I noticed he was dropping quite deep against Swansea so I’d guess he drops into midfield when we’re out of possession.

Berge sitting deeper

That's not his best position ... are we expecting him to start tackling ?

Unusually positive lineup , something of a gamble not having the ratter Doyle to protect Norwood... PNE will give Norwood no time on the ball , so he needs some protection

 

[Keen Blade]

Looks to me like Hecky intends to grab the first goal

 

[Stevo]

Let's hope not, don't want him injured or red carded

 

[jono_t2000]

Hmm not sure how i feel about this team, feels like we've gone for two strikers with Berge playing deeper next to Norwood which as we know doesn't get the best out of Berge.

It feels like we've done this just to ensure Sharp gets some game time at some point.

Feel sorry for Doyle and to a lesser extent McAtee..

 

[Agreasychipbutty]

Interesting to see how we play with that line up, my first thought was 343 with ndiaye just behind the front 2. Brewsters done enough to earn a start and these have only scored 3 and conceded 2 so a more attacking lineup is nice to see

I’m usually wrong but I think this will go south quickly.

Berge is no protector and Norwood dictates play. Preston shut him down and that’s us done if we can’t get the ball to the forwards.

 

[Varkanoid]

but then he would just chuck on Doyle and alter the formation so its not that of a worry.

 

[Bobby b]

I watched the pre match interview with McCall and he mentioned that Preston defend deep, and let the opponents have a lot of possession, so it may be that we're ditching a defensive midfielder for a midfielder that can unlock a packed defense.
Come on fellas, since the season started everyone on here has been saying that heckingbottom plays it safe away from home and that we should go for it, now he has and people are saying that hes gone hung ho

 

[Camden Blade]

This is an attacking line up against a defensive team. I like it. Usually Hecky is too conservative if anything. This is a bold selection. I think it'll pay off. Arm on a limb. 2.0 or 3.0 win.

 

[Frank the tank]

On paper it looks like an ultra attacking line up assuming they sit deep and we push verge up to help the attack but I'm probably wrong
Usually am

I'm disappointed Doyle is not playing, he's been a big part of our recent success.

 

[A Storm of Blades]

Khadra entitled to feel annoyed IMO

 

[Champagneblade]

Intriguing approach.

A team who has only conceded 2 all season yet also only scores 3 must be perceived as very defensive so I guess Hecky sees a bit of a free hit after recent results and has decided to go all attacking.

Bold move. Let's hope it pays off!

 

[KeyffSmyff]

H.E.S. is now updated which is nice.

 

[Toronto Blade]

That is a scary bench that Preston is looking at Doyle, Khadra, McAtee, Sharp all ready to liven up the 2nd half.
