O'Hare as usual the only player looking likely to do anything mind, thought Maatsen should have done a lot better when he put him in at the byline

Agreed, Maatsen has done well to get into those positions but his final cross and ball has been really poor.

I'm hoping gyo is saving his energy to score again. He looked dead last game but then still scored.

 

[Nick]

We need to shoot. Trying to run it in again

 

[SIR ERNIE]

Poor touch Maatsen

 

[SkyblueDad]

Preston are a real nothing team and we’re allowing them to come into the game. We started well and massively dropped off.

Need a lot more from the front two. Waghorn isn’t sharp yet and I’m a massive fan but Gyokeres isn’t on it today - tiredness I think.

Other than Hamer nobody has stood out, good or bad.

Allen, Dabo and Taveres on to at lest change the dynamic at some point second half.

Disagree Preston are good team.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Surely Whiteman only has 1 or 2 fouls left

 

[Nick]

Another amazing save

 

[stupot07]

O'hare chose the wrong option then, passed it to Gyokeres who had 3 men on him, when he should have played Waghorn down the left

Was he booked first half? I thought he was but checked on sky sports.

 

[Paul Anthony]

Moore really rescuing us today.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Another huge let off

 

[Nick]

Another good save.
They are really going at us now

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Going to concede imminently if this carries on

Probably one of the reasons why his chances created is so high, but assists are so low.

We're going to probably need a bit more quality to get a win today.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Need to either put our foot on the ball or hit them on the break

 

[fernandopartridge]

Only a matter of time until they score, this is woeful

 

[SIR ERNIE]

Well balanced team built on a solid defence.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Revert to the box before we concede.

I think we know what MR will do though.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

One way traffic. Knackered and it shows

 

[robbiekeane]

This is shite. There's no plan, no strategy

 

[Nick]

Plus they are willing to shoot

 

[Danceswithhorses]

Moore having another blinder...off the post, he gets a boot to it with stk about to tap in

 

[robbiekeane]

Knackered isnt an excuse when he doesnt use subs ever

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Knackered isnt an excuse when he doesnt use subs ever

It’s a fair excuse for most of the players

 

[Paul Anthony]

All over us now. Feels like they're going to score any minute. Need a spell on the ball to settle down.

 

[Johnnythespider]

We're doing the Ali rope a dope here, I'm not sure we've got a sucker punch ready though

 

[Esoterica]

Well balanced team built on a solid defence.

Easy to have a solid defence with the way we're set up today. Good example of what I meant about us playing with no strikers earlier just before they hit the post. Kane crossing the ball for O Hare while our strikers are 25 yards from goal. And that wasn't a fast break with players catching up. (Not a video before you click it!)

 

[robbiekeane]

Waghorn getting in the way in our own box.

Would get him off. just not working

 

[Nick]

Great play from Kane and maatsen tries a volley but just wide

 

[Johhny Blue]

Do Preston kits only come in boys sizes?

 

[SkyblueDad]

We are under pressure can’t get control of the ball in midfield at all, there’s only one winner here at the moment.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Truly awful Waghorn

 

[Nick]

Amazing flick from O'Hare but waghorn so slow.

Would tavares have done that bad?

 

[Grendel]

I’d get bidwell for Waghorn and get Maatsen with o hare
