BFTG - Preston

[Hound]

As we know, PInce loves to downplay things but he excelled himself in yesterday's paper.
He said that he was surprised that Sky wanted to show us again as there were likely to be more exciting games in this round of Championship fixtures.

Unfortunately he was right.

Fair point tbf. Was nailed on to be an absolute snore fest and that’s what it was. Didn’t realise we were on tv AGAIN on Tuesday…

One thing that's easy to forget is that Preston are experts at making it incredibly difficult for the other side to score. It was almost like their defenders hed telescopic legs, always able to get a toe to the ball, or block a shot.

The difference was that a striker who apparently hadn't scored for 35 games suddenly remembered how to score, and hit two goals out of character with the rest of the game.

It was really like a boring 0-0 that somehow had three goals in it.
