MATCHWATCH : Preston North End (h) sponsored by David Leworthy

[John Madejski's Wallet]

This really is like watch last season's Reading. The rubbish half of the season

I guess the Pauno bounce has gone and now we get to see just how emperor's new clothes this is

[tidus_mi2]

McIntyre on that showing is not even close to ready for first team football.

[Zip]

I think Gibson has to come in Tom Mc who has had a horrible night. Yids in for Esteves. We have to hope Meite and Ejaria are back on Saturday.
Joao showing why he is such a frustrating player.

[CountryRoyal]

Wow that was brilliant! You can’t be negative about that it was outstanding. What a performance. You’re all bedwetters for believing your eyes and thinking it was shit. We’re top, we’re great etc etc etc

Fcuk off

[SouthDownsRoyal]

How many more games do we give Pauno?

Just jokin m9

[South Coast Royal]

Badly missing Moore and Meite at the two ends of the pitch.
Also, Rhino, Semedo and Laurent show very little creativity so it is left to Olise and Richards with Richards also having defensive responsibilities.

We weren't really up for it from the first whistle and although we made a few chances we were generally second best.

[bcubed]

decent chance for Puscas
fluffed his lines

x2

He needs to start.

meaning he might put these away if he played more?

[bcubed]

I think Holmes at RB was so underrated.

Give me him any day over Esteves. Semedo fine off the bench but not a starter. Need Moore back ASAP.

Yes to both of these

We weren't playing attractive football but were definitely more solid

[SouthDownsRoyal]

Anyone know if Mark Bowen is busy?

[Bristol Paul]

Poor, poor performance. Why do we play so slow in every first half, the opposition wipe the floor with us the first 45 every single game. Passing was really poor throughout, McIntyre not up to it, and Preston well worth the win. Starting to think we have just been plain lucky to date as the performances haven’t been all that other than one or two games.

Semedo was fine, much better than Rhino. Miss The energy and pace of Meite too

Goals change games. Championship is very average at the moment.

[Stranded]

Missed too many good chances when on top. Shit happens.

[Pepe the Horseman]

Injuries have absolutely fcuked us. Would bite your arm off for a point on Sat to keep us top, then hopefully have Meite, Ejaira and Moore back after the international break.

[Pepe the Horseman]

On the plus side, we've lost two in a row and are still three points clear at the top

[retro royal]

Not impressed with Esteves, got the Gunter about him without the defending bit, always looking backwards, doesn't read championship football so far.

Semedo, really don't see much quality

McIntyre, too slow to partner Morrison, had poor game today

Rafael, terrible kicking today

Oh well, lets hope the manager can sort this out

[bcubed]

I didn't post it , because they scored as I finished it, but I had actually just completed writing -

We are playing well but as always in football we need to score when ahead......

These old adages exist for a reason.

Yep. Joao gets a shot off when through or hits target with his free header, 1-0 we likely go on to win. That's life.

We need the break and get some players back fit. Take the draw on Sat and move on. This season will be peaks and troughs. If the peaks are longer than the troughs we'll be good.

Would obvs be a totally different game if Joao puts that header away

Still we’re still top and everyone is dropping points. Need Meite, Moore and ovie back quick as possible

Only 18 years old. Going to develop into a class act in the future.
