MATCHWATCH : Preston North End (h)

[higher]

Bollocks.

[Bristol Paul]

We look like a relegation side tonight. Very poor. The Hull game now looks very important. We cannot lose that one too. It’s now four points from seven games.
A relegation battle now seems likely.
Fornah has to start ahead of Loum who was awful tonight.

Agree about Loum, he was awful as was Baba, Carroll, Yiadom and Hoilet. Definately gonna be a battle from here on in. Don’t think playing Carroll from the start works, fairly one dimensional. Just dreadful for the majority of the game.

And very likely 4 points from a possible 24 after Tuesday.

Hopefully Hutch will be back in place of the disappointing Loum and think I’d go with NGW, Joao and Long rather than Baba, Carroll and Meite.

There is so little movement. At least
Long gives us that. I would start Long and Joao v Watford. Fornah has to start. Loum is turning into a disappointment.

Yous lot are shite!

Yep agreed

[Hound]

Dismal game. PNE standard boring well disciplined shit house

Kind of game that makes you want to give up watching football and do something else.

Two terrible goals conceded. Weren’t anywhere near attacking enough throughout

Carroll, Baba, Loum, Hendrick, Hoilett, McIntyre all pretty useless tonight. Ince providing the only sparks again. Tons of shot crosses from good positions again. Waste of an evening

Them 4 were certainly the worst I would have switched both full backs at halftime, terrible, Loum is just too defensive but not exactly sure who apart from Ince is trying to link up with attack. They all looked tired, you got to blame Pince for not using all his subs in the last few weeks

Just glad I stayed at home. Another in a long line of dismal home performances.

[Hound]

It’s back to last seaosn when you just wondered how exactly you conceded 2 to a team who had zero ambition or quality. But at the same time it was inevitable

[Loafer]

Absolute horseshit.

Highlight so far was the minutes silence, and 1871 nearly contrived to oxf*rd that up.

2/10 should have stayed home.

Ditto for the 2nd half. Except this time the highlight was the one man (child) pitch invasion that Pince had to deal with.

club1871 are a disgrace for their actions in the minutes silence and the pitch invarion

they should be investigated and feel the full force of the law and be banned from the stadium

[Royal Rother]

Carroll was really poor tonight.

But he looked knackered, understandably after the amount of work he got through 3 nights ago.

He should not have started. We have options, be smart, use them! But what was galling is that as soon as Carroll came off we started getting crosses into the box whereas he had almost nothing to get on the end of.

Rahman looked absolutely knackered too, it was etched on his face 5 mins before they scored their 2nd. Should have come off.

Why oh why does it take going behind to wake us up?

Not good enough.

Joao and Fornah came out with some credit. Thank goodness Joao has stopped farting about with “clever” pens and now just whacks them low and as hard as he can. Last 2 have been identical and unstoppable.

[Zip]

Should Lumley have been beaten for their second goal?

Yep spot on

Pince has to take a lot of the blame for his team selection.

2/10 should have stayed home.

Ditto for the 2nd half. Except this time the highlight was the one man (child) pitch invasion that Pince had to deal with.

One of the most bizarre things I’ve seen at a football stadium. The child can only have been about 5/6 and the parents were nowhere to be seen for a good five minutes afterwards.

[Notts Royal]

Well that was a boring watch wasn’t it. Both teams boring to watch.

Have to say Evans’ 2nd finish was decent but McIntyre should’ve closed the space.

Why persist with this formation? Didn’t suit either or the lads playing wing back today, the only actual wing back we have NGW, didn’t start. From what I’ve seen, he should be starting in front of Baba.

Loum & Hendrick were poor.

And why was Ince playing so deep tonight? Change the formation, put him 1 side of a striker & Meite the other. It’s that simple.

Or…if you’re going to persist with 2 up front, it has to be Long & another

Absolutely up there in the weirdest things I’ve ever seen at a football ground (spin off potential), a gentle trot across the pitch and a little hug with Pince. Mental.

feeling violated

The interruption to the silence wasn’t great, but it clearly wasn’t done with any malice, just mistimed enthusiasm. Didn’t see any invarion (sic) from 1871, so won’t comment on it.

I did not say the invitation (sick) came from club1871, I mister comma
