Can't say I'm happy about the end of that game, but play-wise from both teams for most of that game I reckon a point apiece is probably fair. Just slightly baffled at how two players on the line cannot stop that shot. Onto Saturday.

 

[Hockey'sBeard]

Fucking useless - just knew it - all that time wasting and then giving away free kick there when we can’t defend our box. God give me a centre half

 

[TJ blade]

Decent but not good enough. Time to let Robinson sit now as he is the weak link.

Basically were shit at defending.

 

[Drunk blade]

Cowardly play taking it into the corner when we could have created a chance, then shit from Robinson as usual

 

[Not_a_Cheat]

GET INNNN

Yeeesss

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Two mistakes. Two goals. Robinson will take the blame like a goalie who lets in a soft goal. But what was that.

 

[Hockey'sBeard]

Robinson been shit all night - giving ball away for breakaway, muscled off ball. What the fuck was that defending?

 

[Chingo]

Robinson and RND not good enough , they targeted our left side all night and got their reward … if Slav plays Robinson at the weekend he’s a cunt !

 

[Not_a_Cheat]

Jack Robinson, please leave.

Absolute fucking liability. I'd rather play Burke at CB

Agreed

 

[Devils bump]

Basically were shit at defending.

Thank fuck we're scoring again, but holy shit let's stop conceding!!!!!

 

[SwindonBladeJnr]

Same bunch of useless, switching off, unprofessional fucking wankers they've always been.

A complete set of cunts,

You'd fit right in.

 

[Hockey'sBeard]

Agree as well why is mcburnie not on once we take lead?

 

[bromtom]

Jack Robinson cost us a goal against Peterborough, haven't seen it again but was in attendance for Preston's first, kicked a ball straight at their defence and put them on the counter, then fell over in a one on one giving them a chance, then headed it backwards straight into his own box and they scored from it.

All that in 2 games. Pretty impressive.

 

[Not_a_Cheat]

Jack Robinson, please leave.

Absolute fucking liability. I'd rather play Burke at CB

Jack Robinson please get injured in training. Mutually end contract.

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Robinson and RND not good enough , they targeted our left side all night and got their reward … if Slav plays Robinson at the weekend he’s a cunt !

He won't . Davies should be back.

 

[Iffy Onuora's Shiny Head]

What a pathetic excuse of a player Robinson has been for us. And not clinical enough today should have had at least 4 again but didnt kill the game off when we had chances to

 

[bladeinexile]

How often do we concede a late late goal... it's been happening for years. Opposition teams must all know by now that if they keep going to the final whistle against us they've got a great chance of coming away with something

 

[essyoueffsee]

Good performance again. Shame to see N'daiye go off.

 

[SUFCinks]

exciting game for the neutral. Preston were a good team i thought. Both teams played some really nice footy, we were playing some beautiful one touch pass and move around them and they had some nice pass and moves and nice direct play which we struggled with.

Gutted about the result but in general i feel really positive about the way we are playing. Some decent performances out there!

 

[Chingo]

And Bash is sat on the bench !

 

[Chadders]

Chaos. But I like it!

 

[Chingo]

He won't . Davies should be back.

Hope so mate

 

[yorkshirecoast]

Ok performance against a team that will finish midtable. We were good at times going forward but abysmal at the back. Robinson and RND were really poor.

 

[Hockey'sBeard]

And Bash is sat on the bench !

Got to play him ahead of Robinson - there’s still a mistake in there from him too playing there I feel but he offers so much more than Robinson

 

[bromtom]

Positives, should've had at least 4.

Berge looked good when he came on and scored.

MGW is great.

Thought Freeman had a good game too, RND was decent going forward but obviously we're still weak down the left of defence.

Fleck was decent, few sloppy passes but overall good, could have scored maybe, but a good save by their keeper.

Some great movement but not clinical enough.

4 from 6 is good considering how we've been of late, but really should have been 6 from 6.

Wouldn't have minded a point before the game, but losing 2 points from that makes me want to break stuff.

 

[FinBlade]

It's odd feeling when draw feels like a loss and I have the thought min or two before Berge scored 2-1.
Those opportunities on Freeman and Fleck should had been goals, but that's how the game goes.

I'm happy to see team going forward and attacking together even tho we could only score 1/3 of the goals from our last game.

 

[Stu_Blade]

To be fair yeah terrible ending agreed but that Olsen save at 1-1 and it would have been a different story plus it wasn't like we didn't have chances in the 1st half Freeman should be scoring that, Norwood should hit the target. Billy was a bit unlucky with a couple. Well taken goal by Berge but against a big side we need to be either going for the 3rd the ball through was there or defend the first ball better

 

[Hockey'sBeard]

Need to be more clinical though. Number of chances we should of buried from Freeman’s in first half to added time at end when we playing it in the corner. Take your chances and knock stuffing out of opposition. They knew one long ball into our box they stood a chance. No real aerial presence, Egan aside

 

[Bladeinleeds]

We need to stop giving soft as shite goals away.

we aren’t good enough to need to score 3 to win a fucking game.

 

[Champagneblade]

Only got ourselves to blame.

The chance for Freeman, if he kept it down, was a goal.

Then Fleck one v one he should have just hit it rather than some little dink but then again Brewster totally misread the rebound. Why did he keep on running. He was behind the keeper when it was saved. It was so ludicrously obvious to hang back. His reading of the game is terrible. Then you have Baldock's cross on the right, softly to the keeper when Billy was begging for the ball in the middle.

So at least we are creating chances.

As a few have mentioned at this level, I'd be more confident with Davies and Stevens. As useful as Norrington-Davies could be he isn't the finished article yet. Robinson is just a liability. If he doesn't cost you a goal, he costs a goal scoring chance every game. We have to just go Basham and Egan if Davies is not fit.

4 goals conceded this week - Robinson terrible error, a pen that shouldn't have been, keeper coming when he should have stayed at home and then Robinson dreadfully misjudging the flight of the ball. Such an awfully avoidable error.

Despite the early setback, I'm happy with Olsen. That block 1 v 1 was worth a goal.

Good to see Berge score. Hopefully N'Diaye is alright. With Osborn to come back in, Hourihane easing in, there looks to be more creation there, we just have to cut out the silly mistakes.
