Win!

Have to believe our luck will change and one of these chances we keep missing, will go in.

May well suit us being massive underdogs.

Fancy 2-0 or 2-1 to us.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

2-0 Preston.

 

[Matt smith]

3-0 Preston.

 

[AOM]

If we're ever to break the bogey team cycle, now would be a good time to do it.
2-1 Coventry

 

[Ccfcisparks]

5-0 Preston

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

We’ve won two games since they last won one!

Will take the most boring 0-0 to stop the rot

Yeah me too. Let's shut up shop, keep a cleansheet and stop the rot.

We are the team people like playing when they are on a poor run.

6-0 Preston

Proverbial rocket has been placed up the arse, we get this stupid fucking Deepdale ‘curse’ that doesn’t really matter in reality off our backs and snatch a 1-0 win!

 

[clint van damme]

We'll win but half of us will miss it due to Avanti being the Ben Wilson of train franchises.

 

[CCFC54321]

Coventry City 0

(With 125 corners 'won')

I've not missed a game since the Covid break but after the last 3 games i really can't motivate myself to go at the moment. I'm sure i'll be up for it come Saturday though. If Preston score first i fear the worst though with confidence. We need to get that first goal to get anything out of the game.

 

[Otis]

5-0 Preston

And what about the second half?

 

[SkyblueDad]

Our record at PNE and our current form looks to nothing other than an expected defeat, time to upset the odds get a result

 

[pusbccfc]

Didn't realise how shite they've been since their early brilliant form.

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

"We choose to go to Preston, and do the other things, not because they are easy but because they are hard". Pretty sure that's what JFK said.

 

[Paul Anthony]

Really looking forward to this one, not like we've got an absolutely horrendous record there or anything is it.....

 

[napolimp]

Pick a back 3, Bidwell in, rest of the team the same. Defend hard, play on the break. Go for a 0-0.

 

[Offhegoes]

Lati for Thomas, but otherwise I'd keep the same team as last night. Chance for them to redeem themselves.

 

[Macca1987]

That team may fare better in an away game, as long as we can go back to soaking up the home team pressure and counter attacking, fingers crossed

 

[oscillatewildly]

We've never beaten them up there in a league encounter - just a handful of various cup comp victories.
Surely their players know (and have known) this statistic? Shouldn't that be the sort of thing that leads to complacency?
You know - why big clubs regularly are beaten by smaller clubs in cup competitions.
What is wrong with them? Bunch of freaks.
1-0 City.

 

[Alan Dugdales Moustache]

9-1 Preston.

We don’t half stand off when defending
Again last night poor saka and Allen were covering 3 or 4 people with sheaf and eccles marking space. It’s very strange when you look at how West Brom effectively defended against us. I get we don’t move forward quickly enough and pass and pass and pass looking for an opportunity
I just think we need confidence and certainly need to shoot more

Hadji Wright doesn't half stand offside when we're defending.

 

[Macca1987]

Watching last night when Sheaf was trying to thread balls through to Saka, he either had 3 or 4 players on him every time

 

[BlueSkiesForever]

Some will disagree but I’d go with the same formation as the West Brom game but with Simms up top, maybe Collins in goal, Lati in DM, Binks in with Kitching taking Fadz’ spot and Bidwell in for Dasilva.

 

[Ann Proctor-Brown]

2-0 Preston.

 

[CCFC54321]

9-1 Preston.

Pathetic and embarrassing coming out with a 9-1 score line.

I mean, where do you think the city goal will come from?
