Great half, need to keep it tight and not concede a silly early goal in the second half.

[Jamesimus]

Should that make a difference for professional athletes?

It can yes, more so for older players of course. Professional athletes are still human athletes.

 

[Otis]

Preston look poor, but I think a lot of that is down to our snapping at their heels non stop, when they have the ball.

Lots of intercepted passes and balls won in challenges.

Just need to make sure Preston don't get one back in the first 15 of the 2nd half and I think we will be fine.

A 3rd though for us and that would be it for sure.

 

[Diogenes]

How do you fit Sheaf and Wright in here?

We play 4-5-4

 

[stevefloyd]

Eccles have a decent game . That will upset some on here

Why should it upset anyone, we are Cov fans and we want decent performances from all of our players

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Has the keeper been paid to let that in?

 

[Paxman II]

It would be interesting to see if Sheaf can play alongside Grimes

 

[MalcSB]

5 point gap between us and 9th as it stands

20 points above relegation places.

 

[Cov98]

Go on then someone bring out the HMS piss the league image

 

[Skyblueweeman]

How do you fit Sheaf and Wright in here?

I'm easy with Sheaf being on the bench as it stands.

Getting Wright in is a bigger headache of the two. But a nice problem for Lampard to have.

20 points above relegation places.

Be tight , reckon we just about swerve it

 

[procdoc]

Our expected goals is 0.73 so hopefully this means we will get a third

 

[Winny the Bish]

How nice is it having a player like Grimes who you're confident isn't going to mess up or do something stupid. Great signing.

 

[procdoc]

Bit early for that. 2-0 is a nice cushion but also a dangerous score line

Delete your post please and post it in 45 minutes time instead.

When did they sign Brad Collins?

 

[TomRad85]

EMC and Rudoni are fucking ballers.

 

[Perennial Lurker]

I know Preston haven't been much of a threat but how good do Thomas and Kitching look as a pair ?

 

[procdoc]

They are making some subs?

 

[stevefloyd]

So you're telling me we are actually beating Preston right now? When is a good time book my wembley train tickets?

Ask Otis

 

[JohnWH]

Anything to be worried about re: PNE subs at half?

 

[MalcSB]

It can yes, more so for older players of course. Professional athletes are still human athletes.

The main point in my post was insinuating that agreeing to play Leeds midweek before Ipswich was a fucking stupid decision. I’m not that concerned about being out of the FA Cup, it was conceding 4 goals which pissed me off.

 

[Cov98]

Bit early for that. 2-0 is a nice cushion but also a dangerous score line

Where's the fun in that
Nah but in fairness we've looked good but Preston could easily get a few on the break so we need a few more to be safe.

No

Riis ain’t bad

 

[Skyblueweeman]

Triple change for them

 

[SkyblueTexan]

3 subs for them at halftime. I think Riis is coming in and usually scores against us. Need to be careful.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Hit them on the counter

 

[wingy]

Got to be honest that Ball down the left was sublime.

Apart from Eccles starting, I like that team

 

[MalcSB]

How was that a foul by Sakamoto?

 

[skyblueinBaku]

EMC and Rudoni are fucking ballers.

Do you mean footballers? Are you American?

 

[Jamesimus]

That Greenwood fella for them looks like a cartoon Instagram filter.

 

[Nick]

Oh they brought riis on?

 

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

I shouldn’t think so. Robins would have achieved just as good results.

 

[Tommo1993]

What a ball by Riis
