Let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves.. 1 game at a time

Just jump on the bandwagon

[Gynnsthetonic]

12 pts behind, 3 games until we play them. It’s technically possible we could go ahead of them when we beat them.

That would be good. If we continue as we are that will be a 30k attendance

[Skybluekyle]

Been a grumpy arse all day because I couldn't go. Now I can't stop smiling and chanting.

I am very good at not getting ahead of myself, so just enjoying the ride. COME ON!

Home end will sell out. Just need the lesser mortals to do the same.

Don't miss o hare personally. Just wish hamer instead of Eccles(who did well today) in that 11 though and fuck me that's auto clinching

Gyok and o hare were great for us but I just don't miss them loads. But hamer I still doi.

Hamer oozes class, and dictates a game, or will produce a bit of magic. Vik is a machine/assassin - a bit like the Terminator

 

[covcity4life]

Kinda scary when you think winning 7 from 8 still ain't got us into top 6 lol

 

[procdoc]

I had a look at the Preston forum, most posts are complimentary about us

 

[SeshMouseSkyBlue]

We were defensively sound with 4 at the back despite a few nervy moments with ball over top. But that happens over 90 mins

Also does anyone still think o hare is a better player than rudoni?

Can prob put the O’Hare and Rudoni comparison to bed soon! Think Rudoni is turning into a far superior player! He’s just not in your face like O’Hare was!

 

[Evo1883]

33 points from 17 games in charge

1.94 PPG

Is it 5 goals and 11 assists

 

[Sick Boy]

There are definitely other managers worthy of manager of the month. Fuck off!!

 

[Lamps]

It's happening. Nobody other than Leeds will look forward to playing us. And we don't have Leeds again.

I had my doubts about Lampard. Never again. What an appointment. Hope he loves it here so much that he just wants to see how far he can take us.

I'm sure they will. 3pm on a Saturday

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

1234 we've got Jack Rudoni oh oh with Matty Grimes in the middle oh oh never gives the ball awayyyyy

 

[Lamps]

Not when we have gone from a couple of points from the bottom 3 to just needing to win our next game to most probably being in the top 6

This is the only remaining doubt I have.

I think if he continues doing this well if a bigger team comes in he will move. I don't think he'd be bothered enough about seeing what he could do with us to turn an offer down.

 

[skyblu3sk]

Not sure if it was but it was close.

100% offside, disappointing call that one glad it didn't matter.

 

[Gleneagles65]

Is Otis selling train tickets to London yet?

Leave that to James.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

This is the only remaining doubt I have.

To be fair, all managers will come and go. That’s just the business. I think if anything this will hopefully give Doug more credit in the bank to get the next one just as right.

I actually disagree. I think he'll want to have demonstrable success on his CV, which I'd like to think he could achieve with us. It's not like he needs to move on for money at this point.

Yep miles off

 

[Si80]

Is it 5 goals and 11 assists

4 goals and 10 assists in the league.

 

[Broken Hearted Sky Blue]

A brilliant result, but we mads hard work of the last few minutes.

 

[Danceswithhorses]

Smashed the Preston hoodoo just like he did the Swansea curse
Switched to 443 even though experts told us 532 is only formation that works. (After telling us for years 532 doesnt work)
Dominant performance to shut up fans that say we play shit but effective football under him

No wonder we won today...11 outfield players

 

[Lamps]

I mainly have to agree. He has good players at our club that could continue to improve and make a good go at it in the Prem. He keeps praising us supporters. Our first season in the Prem would be seen as a free hit as most promoted sides go straight back down. Put that against taking over a Prem side that could underachieve.

He also doesn't need the money. If he is enjoying the adulation why risk it all?

2 totally different players who offer different things.

Rudoni is more creative, but O’Hare is an engine room. Both very much top end championship players

I hope you're right. I just have my doubts.

 

[skyblu3sk]

I tell you what isn't it lovely to see some decent crosses in to the box. I can't remember looking so dangerous from crosses and set pieces.

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

I hope you're right. I just have my doubts.

I’m in this window. Lampard is doing a great job, I get this nagging feeling that the more his reputation repairs, Chelsea could be back soon. He’s still held in high regard there

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Fuck me, we beat Preston!

And Swansea, Frank Lampard has done that in less than 3 months, Mark Robins couldn't do that in 7 years.
