Match Thread Preston vs. Coventry City - Match Thread - Sat 19th Oct (3 Viewers)

[Brighton Sky Blue]

The last league win i think would be the 4-1 where Bjarni Gudjonsson scored twice and missed a pen. He looked like an absolute world beater that day (or night, think it was a night game.)

I believe it was more ‘recent’ where Michael Doyle scored a screamer to win the game in 2007.

That was a Sky game I think and we went top of the league

We beat them in the league at The CBS once (believe it or not)

When Dowie was the manager, Doyle scored a worldie

 

[no_loyalty]

When was the last time we drew at Deepdale, was it the last minute Franck Moussa wonder strike?

Edit: Think we got a 0-0 there a few years ago?

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Not worried 3-1 win. I said that we would beat hopeless Blackburn and we will do the same to this lot.

0-0 in a midweek league game, 22/23

 

[skybluecam]

The last win against Preston anywhere

What a night it was

0-0 in a midweek league game, 22/23

That was the one where Diaby played brilliantly and nullified Gyokeres, wasn't it?

I do actually remember that now you've mentioned it.

Remember beating them 2-1 at Ricoh under maybe Dowie, Adebola and Doyle scored

 

[Colin Steins Smile]

If we manage to get a result at PNE, I might need to lie down in a dark room until I realise it wasn't a dream. I've always found their ground to be incredibly depressing!

My team for Saturday, taking into account international games [BTA selected, as he's only sat on the bench for Ghana's games]:

Dovin
MVE Thomas Binks JDS
Sheaf Eccles
Rudoni
Saka BTA EMC

Subs
Collins
Kirching
Lati
Torp
Andrews
Simms
Wright
Bassett
Tavares

Possibly, it was a very dull game from memory.

 

[procdoc]

Got a horrible feeling about this game. I think it could be Robins last game if we get soundly beaten

 

[AOM]

2-1 win

If things don’t go right in this next batch of six, then I think that’ll be it.

will be 15 games into the season

ideally need 6 out of 9 this week

Equally it would be a literally once in a lifetime result to end the Deepdale curse!

He’ll get the QPR game too.

I do think that could potentially be his last if we lose dismally in both though. Two losses would make it our joint worst start since we returned to the championship (with 20/21, first year back). And being cynical you’d want a manager to get a few games under their belt before the Sunderland/Sheff U/Burnley run of fixtures.

 

[Skybluekyle]

2-1 win

Did you hear about Norman? Not too good, broken leg, fractured shoulder, couple of broken ribs....No, that was just the Preston defender, no Norman's fine.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

2-1 win

We’re better than the Lancastrians
We’re better than the Lancastrians
Say it again Haji
We’re better than the Lancastrians?

 

[AOM]

We’re better than the Lancastrians
We’re better than the Lancastrians

Three cheers for Storey?!
We're Coventry!

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Three cheers for Storey?!
We're Coventry!

I tell yer if that Sargent don’t win player of the season there’s no justice

 

[TomRad85]

Don't care about the 'curse' it's another very poor team and if we lose again I think Robins is in real trouble.

Was definitely a night game as he scored a header which seemed like he hung up in the air for about 10 seconds before powering it home!

Was either just before or just after we smashed Millwall 4-0 to cement Black’s ‘legacy’ and then old monkey head turned up and ruined everything.

 

[ExmouthNeil]

The last win against Preston anywhere

I'm surprised this isn't in black and white....

Yeah we beat Burnley 4-0 the Saturday before and a Burnley fan took her top off for those in the WT. I later saw her being sick in a bin or ship near the station.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Ignoring the ‘Deepdale curse’ they are exactly the sort of team we always struggle against. I imagine they’ll be pretty physical and press us aggressively. Sheffield Wednesday, Norwich and Swansea will have given them a decent blueprint on how to beat us.

2-0 Preston.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Do we think we’ll see a mad new system like previous Robins years?

Think he’ll revert to a back three soon if it doesn’t pick up.

 

[steve101]

I watched the last Welsh match with Bellamy in charge. The coaching team obviously have limited time to work with the players; there were some non-established players in there; and yet they played fluid, high press, accurate and quick passing football.
How have we got it so wrong with all the time pre-season and early season to get performances?!
Hopefully, Preston will be the game to start getting it right.

[Mcbean]

No doubt we will have another duff referee who fails to protect our players

 

[David O'Day]

We'll win and if we don't Robins is not going to get sacked this early in a season.

Robins won’t be going anywhere after this game, but would be thinking if it’s not got any better by Sunderland, then that’s when questions would be asked

 

[Wyken Sky Blue]

2-1 win

HAVE YOU HEARD WHAT THE CROWD ARE ****ING SHOUTING!
ROBINS IS A ****
ROBINS IS A ****
ROBINS IS A ***
ROBINS IS A ***
THEY SHOULDN'T BE ****ING SHOUTING AT ME, THEY SHOULD BE SHOUTING AT YOU!
AND DO YOU KNOW WHY? BECAUSE IT'S ****ING HALF TIME AND WE'RE ****ING 2-0 DOWN TO THE ****ING PRESTON!!!

 

[David O'Day]

Robins won’t be going anywhere after this game, but would be thinking if it’s not got any better by Sunderland, then that’s when questions would be asked

he's only in danger if we still haven't won by december/xmas
