*~*~* Preston v Sunderland match thread *~*~*

[wisemensaysteve]

Rigg really is the big deal, though we were toothless

 

[Boo]

They’re the better side, mainly because of their control of midfield. Browne had a particularly poor half. Watson looks sharp though and Ididore is always capable of doing something.

 

[Fetch Fletch]

O9 the only player to come out of that half with any credit. Superb.

What a stop that was! Lad’s THE BOLLOCKS…so to speak

 

[Sir dave]

Give it 10 minutes of the second half then we probably see Roberts and mundle

 

[Drexl]

Keep the faith

 

[Boots]

Kid and Connoly will be off soon for Roberts and Mundle. Thank fck for Onion as other defenders shaky as feck.

Browne and Hime off key as well. We ca only be better second half

 

[InsomniacAttack]

Well its amazing we’re at 0-0, I’ll take that…

This is terrible, front 3 are doing nothing, we have 3 in midfield, no idea where they are - Preston are just bypassing them, we can stop crosses coming in, we cant keep the ball, we’re second to every challenge, and if we were 3-0 down it would be fair.

Aye but what about O'Nien?

 

[chuckyroll]

Been a really poor half. Worst of the season that I've watched.

Neither wide players look sharp enough to the ball out wide.

Luke O Nien kept us in the game and is carrying Mepham here.

We can't play out from the back because of their press but don't have the player up top to be able to hold it up.

Saturday on apar

First time this season I’m disagreeing with RLB.

Didn’t work at all that, Connolly poor, Watson looks not quite ready to start games, clearly a player and will come good, but a fraction too early, Wilson isolated and completely out of thethe game.

I’d be tempted to bring mundle and roberts on for Connolly and Watson, put Wilson through the middle.

Nobody can get it right every time, and we haven’t paid for it yet.

 

[sofatester]

Worst performance of the season so far by a country mile. Apart from 09 the rest are having a mare

 

[ChrisAshley]

I thought we were good against Leeds for a fair bit of the game.

We had decent spells but looked toothless second half, until that howler.

 

[Sea to Shining Sea]

Bed wetters out in force tonight.

Are the vast majority people not just discussing the game as it’s happening? What constitutes bed wetting these days like?

 

[molthemackem]

Browne been woeful again tbh his set pieces

Wow

Been a standard away performance this season tbh

Have to agree, yes not on form the neet

 

[RokerRoarer]

Absolute dog shit first half that. RLB got this team all wrong, no fluidity at all. Barely created anything and lucky not to be trailing.

Isidor upfront, conolly off for mundle on the left and Roberts on for Watson. Please do not come out with that same team, we've not been in it at all.

Also, Browne been absolutely abysmal.

 

[zidanny]

Dude is a trooper, put his dick on the line and that

Yet clowns on here slate him week after week. He defends with his life, brings the ball out great and can pick a pass better than 99% of the team with either foot. Quality.

 

[SuperKevsLeftBoot]

We have to win tonight like. So he needs to change it.. I’m praying this isn’t when we start going shit and back to 6 months ago

 

[scotch]

We played very well against Oxford but we have been poor v Leeds, Hull, Luton, QPR & again tonight.

We were far from poor against Leeds, fine against Hull and much better 2nd half against Luton.
Qpr was one of those days but this has been poor

 

[phil]

Better than against QPR, but we still need more composure on the ball and to put some meaningful possession together. If we can get Wilson into the game he will score. Tommy Watson fitting in well. Reckon we have been saved a couple of times by O'Nein

 

[herra soul mob]

annoying this, eminently winnable, just need a couple of tweaks at ht

 

[TB22]

Our link up play is poor, its like the forward line just met . Reset needed at half time. This isnt working.
