Probably should have

He's confused himself because he allowed the advantage then changes his mind when he's missed imo.

About time we grew some balls and moved on from McFadzean. He’s done well, just not anymore.

Been a superb player for this club tommo

but he’s finished

Why can't we just pick a decent lineup and stick with it? I don't remember all this chopping and changing last season, injuries aside.

I’m sorry but I’m still not seeing it with Dasilva. Easier on the eye than Bidwell I get that but let’s his man in way to easy. Bidwell a far better defender and we are conceding goals far too easily.

I've been quite positive about Dasilva but that last Preston attack down that side where he's stood in midfield and just walks backwards not bothering to track his man is just straight up pathetic and he deserves not to start the second half for that alone. How as a wing back you can watch your man go past and not even attempt to catch him is alien to me. He doesn't look arsed

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Yeah surely it’s either a sending off or not a pen? Not that I’m complaining like

Don’t know why he let their man go and take a shot if he thought it was a foul

 

[covhead1]

We were shit for most of the first half and cannot see the second half being any better but fuck I hope we are!

 

[shmmeee]

Been calling for JDS to be dropped ages ago. Unfortunately height does matter and strength. Useless on the attack as well. Bidwell should never have been dropped.

Bidwell has been well below his best when he’s come on this season. I really don’t think he’s the answer.

No, some one has posted the relevant law

Does confidence make so much difference??

Eccles needed a rest but it’s too powder puff
Won’t be long for me to be asking is it the players not being good enough or robins not knowing what to do

We often only had eleven fit players last year

 

[long way home]

Bidwell for Desilva
MVE on for Fadz
Lat to RCB,
Thomas to middle CB
Eccles on for Ayari

We look lost again, no balance, too many spaces. And just look a team treading water at the minute. Worst ground we could be going to, off the back of the last few results.

I think he thinks he’s fouled him as he shot? But whatever.

 

[Otis]

Is our midfield playing?

Yes. But just not at Deepdale.

 

[stupot07]

To be fair, not easy for a defensive wingback to come on get into the game and play well for 10-15 minutes.

We look so dis-jointed and our lack of pace another worry. Lucky not to be down to ten men too. We have pace and quality on the bench need to change things for the second half.

 

[ptr]

Successful dribbles 0. Hardly surprising when our attempted dribbles is also 0. Get Sakamoto on!

 

[Greggs]

Can't believe I got Preston at 7/4

He doesn't he watches him shoot then gives the pen

If the idea was to try and keep it tight, it clearly isn’t working.

63 mins before his first sub

It didn’t affect what we think we saw
If advantage goal kick
If foul no attempt for ball should be red

 

[Boicey]

I’m not convinced Robins knows who to play or what to do.
I guess you can’t polish a turd. But it’s his turd.
At least put your best players on the pitch when you can Sakamoto, Binks, MVE, COH. And keep your worst off, Ayari.

 

[SkyblueTexan]

O’Hare, Sakamoto, Binks, Bidwell, MVE in Fadz, DaSilva, Ayari, Wilson, Wright out…. In second half

 

[jordan210]

It’s so comical I’m not even disappointed tbh

 

[ptr]

Fadz got to be dragged here as well. Get Van Ewik on.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

I think he thinks he’s fouled him as he shot? But whatever.

Then he should send him off. Not that it was even remotely a foul.

 

[Matt smith]

We were the 3rd highest spenders in the division this summer I think

I appreciate who we’ve lost

But it’s simply not good enough

end of

 

[Mcbean]

Sorry but we need a big fucker at left back

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Wilson ‘doing a Moore’ with this collapse in form

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

It has to be some half time team talk by MR - got a feeling given everything that Robins has finally ran out of luck - 20M squandered in terms of results - you cannot how ever much you want too dispute this. We have reached the end of October report and MR sat at a massive D minus

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Can't believe I got Preston at 7/4

I got 17/10 - Back Preston every season. It’s printing money most times

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

PNE look a lot how we did last season. Cohesive, on the same wavelength, playing at high tempo.

We look flaccid and worryingly porous despite having so many defenders on.

Seeing the word flaccid to describe this team has perked me up a touch.

 

[pusbccfc]

Two players coming on. Simms and Eccles it seems.

 

[AiS86]

If there's one glimmer of hope, we're normally decent in the first half then fade. Hopefully it's the opposite today. Hard to see how it can be any worse than that
