For fucks sake. We’re all over this Preston team. Typical stupid mistake by Sheaf this time has cost us a goal again. We need to just shoot when in the box. Too many touches.

Dabo been immense so far.

If we hadn't conceded such a stupid goal people would be praising this first half for our positive intent. Preston's back 3 playing deeper and narrower than ours have. Means that all the space is in the pocket for O'Hare but there's very little space centrally in their back line so everything looks forced or misplaced. Allen needs to play higher so Godden isn'r marked by 3 or we'll have to go to a 2nd striker to try and pull their back 3 apart and make some gaps.

Can see this 2nd half being incredibly open as we chase.

Based on that 45 these are a poor team of cloggers and we have been well on top.

Play like that second half we surely get a result here.

This is really starting to fuck me off.

Why are we constantly going backwards when we are close the the opponents 18 yard box.

Why is every stray ball, falling for the opposition.

Why do ifollow decide to film cunting empty seats when the game is in play.

Why do ifollow cut to adverts, when we are playing for a premium service and missing out on the coverage.

😡😡😡

Just shoot ffs, We keep over playing everything. Trying to walk it in to the goal.


Also Preston players trying to claim Mcfadz went in studs up on Rudd what a bunch of cheats

Don't know how hyam can be blamed tbh, very simple work that was for sheaf to deal with, bread and butter stuff and he dithered... Again.

Lovely on the ball with 5 yards of space around him but fuck me it's rare you get it.

Need 2 up for me second half and the lads have to start shooting more because it feels almost as if we're trying to walk it in

Means nothing they have seen out the half and can probably just do the same again knowing that we'll let them off the hook

Played quite well first half, silly error gifted them a goal. As I said after one of the other recent games, despite not losing much lately we don't seem to have much confidence which is borne out of the lack of goals.
I think Allen and O'Hare have both done quite well in some respects but neither is gambling beyond Godden enough.

My issue with Hyam is he’s a right footed CB playing left sided every time he receives it he’s either forcing it on his weaker foot or has a tendency to turn back in on his stronger foot

He definitely hasn't been shite today.
A couple of nice swivels to get out of trouble doesn’t mean you’re forgiven for booting the ball down half a pitch to nobody time and time again. We need to build in their half so we can get some bodies forward, we’re not going to do that with these constant long balls. Calm it down, play the simple pass and build, Preston aren’t anything special but we’re beating ourselves for them.

Don't be so critical. We have looked good. Preston look very worried, even getting rattled at the end there. Sooner rather than later we will get more chances to score. Still think we can do this on play so far. Early goal second half and there's only one winner. Giles introduction not the effectiveness we all wanted but he will produce a moment.

Think we can carry on as we are but for Christ's sake tell them it's not just Hamer who can shoot

We are losing due to a silly individual error.

Don’t let that get in the way of the fact this is the most in a game I can remember us being for ages. We’ve looked the stronger side. Granted, it counts for nothing if the score stays the same, but there certainly reasons to be encouraged.

However we need more from an attacking perspective, Allen and O’Hare are doing well aside form the all important final ball/decision. I’d like to go two up front around 60 if we’re still losing.

Preston might actually be the worst team we’ve played

Agree we are taking the piss out of them, jeez we are making them look awfull.

Keep the faith, they are resorting to all sorts of dark arts to stay in the game. We need to wise up and stop trying to score. A perfect goal, sometimes one touch too many.

You don't play a ball to a midfielder who you can see has a player on his shoulder on the edge of your own area.

Hyam is so fucking hackneyed in every pass he makes, takes him 5 touches to get the ball to the left wing back and it usually makes the lwb check and come back.
