Match Thread Preston V City - Tue 28th Feb - 19:45 (9 Viewers)

[shmmeee]

Gonna start this cos I think squad choices are interesting.

Preston - 12th - 3pts and 11 goals behind us.

Last 6 - WDDLLW
Last 6 at Home - WDLLLL

Today against Wigan was their first home win in the league since Nov 1st.

Our last 6 - WWWDLW

However:

Our last 6 away - WLLLLW

CCFC last 6 V Preston: LDLLLL
CCFC last 6 at Preston: LLLDDL

Last time CCFC won at Preston in the league: Never.

Only other games being played either can’t catch us or be caught but Luton play Millwall (5th v 6th) and both are 5 points ahead. A win would be guaranteed to put us in 8th 2 or 3 points from the playoff depending on results. A draw would put us 10th 4 or 5 points off the play offs. A loss would leave us where we are, unless it’s by 6 goals then Preston overtake us.


No Palmer, Kelly or Sheaf in all likelihood. Panzo possibly in contention, we’ll see. O’Hare and Tavares obvious out long term.

I’d go:

Wilson
McNally Fadz Doyle
BNC Hamer Eccles Allen Bidwell
Gyokeres Godden

S: Moore, Panzo, Dabo, JWE, Howley, Walker, Maguire.

1-1 Godden

Never won at Preston, would be fantastic if we could break that this year and just like the pivotal promotions before, suddenly the atmosphere and fans belief will become something else and that seemed to transcend into the players and squad.

I’ll trust Robins with the formation but Godden knows where to place the ball for a striker and opens up space for Vik.
They are just a strong powerful team as always.

Hibernate through this week. I know records are there to be broken, but it’s Preston and they just don’t lose to us. 2-1 Preston

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

If we take the Deepdale hoodoo out of it, they’re a decent side and we’re coming into it short in midfield and with little rest. Would be content with a draw.

 

[Deleted member 5849]

Got to be Godden in for Palmer if he's out, Walker to come on whenever he tires.

Preston watching us roll up to Deepdale ready to bend over again.

Got a feeling Doyle will be rested. He looked to be limping to his car after the game.

 

[Mcbean]

I am not sure Godden can take the place of Palmer although clearly Robins will have shuffle the pack - it’s finding the answer to the midfield conundrum for this game - he suggested Sheaf wasn’t ready yet

 

[Ian1779]

Brady got sent off yesterday so not available. Wasn’t a starter last game to be fair.

I see you've disabled the parental controls again son. You're grounded for another week.

That's a very comprehensive summary, though Kelly won't be in contention as he's injured again.

 

[Astute]

2-1 win. They are not playing very well. Ched Evans back after a 4 game ban. We should have too much for them.

 

[Evo1883]

Take a point then 3 at Huddersfield

Is Wagehorn also ineligible for that?

 

[Evo1883]

No idea

 

[no_loyalty]

It depends what has been agreed between us and Huddersfield.

55.8 During the period of any Temporary Loan Transfer, a Player shall not play against his Transferor Club without the prior written permission of the Transferor Club (which, if given, must be indicated on the appropriate Temporary Loan Transfer form).

 

[TwistAndShoutCCFC1987]

Wonder how many we’ll take. As of thursday we’d sold 600 - but surely the win yesterday will boost the sales to something close to 1,000

Hopefully it is over 1k as it'll maintain the record of every away following being at least 1k

I missed that. Do we know how long for?

 

[clint van damme]

Hamstring again apparently so I'd imagine at least a month.

Miss these fuckin northern monkey midweek games , can't get off work
Going to Huddersfield though

 

[Paxman II]

Always a tough place to go. A night game though gives a different atmosphere. It will be a cold night and clearly we are in the accendency so we must stamp that authority on the game from the get go. 4 wins in a row? Odds are against that, but I really don't see why not unless we forget to turn up.

 

[Hobo]

We can go there and get a result. I wouldnt play two up front though until last 20 mins.

I would be happy with a draw away from home but think we might just nick a win.

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

Can’t see anything other than a defeat there. On a winning streak and within touching distance of the playoffs at which point we typically get done. Add in the fact its Preston and there’s surely only one result. If we win this game I’m lumping on promotion as the season then has league one title winning vibes about it.

 

[jordan210]

Would take a draw as Preston are our bogey team

a win and I will start to believe

True story - she hooked up with Nigel Farage!

 

[Kilclines curly mullet]

Is Wagehorn also ineligible for that?

No - it was mentioned when Waghorn signed for them that he couldn’t play in either game

 

[PVA]

Hamstring again apparently so I'd imagine at least a month.

Robins said a few days to a week, no more than that.

 

[clint van damme]

Until he gets another injury?!

 

[Matt smith]

We have to go two up

we have no one else

Maguire against his former team?

sheaf back probably against hull will be a massive boost if we can win one of the next 2

id bring rose in for Doyle as he needs a breather, not through poor performances mind

 

[Matt smith]

Is Wagehorn also ineligible for that?

Yes he can’t play

 

[fatso]

Yes he can’t play

That's a shame!

If we don't play two up front who would you play in place of Palmer?

 

[Johhny Blue]

He can play 45 minutes for each team

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

He can play 45 minutes for each team
