In the home areas there are empty seats and the usual large sections for segregation. We aren’t like Norwich who can manage with one aisleway as segregation and sell every seat.
****ing hell, sums up the season so far that passage of play. The lad's been shooting on sight all game but pulls it back when he's 1-on-1 with the keeper
Bit of a meh first half, we haven't played bad but haven't really played well either... Seri has been amazing and awful, philogene again needs to learn how to read the game and realise when to pass and shoot etc. That one in the last minute of the half was embarrassing Preston have a game plan and up until the last 10mins it was working for them, they are slowing it down at every opportunity and playing a really high and wide line to stop our play. 0 shots on target for either team pretty much says it all This is very very winnable, let's make sure we do
Preston look like they decided to settle for a point before kickoff. Their keeper wasting time after 30 mins, should be booked for that.
Delap and Philogene need coaching to get their heads up and play the killer passes. They can both skin players and get through, but they almost never play the simpler passes to play someone in on goal. Sort that out and we'd score twice as many goals IMO
First half stats Goals: 0-0 Shots: 6-1 On target: 0-0 Fouls: 5-11 Corners: 1-3 Bookings: 0-1 Red cards: 0-0 Possession: 58%-42%
I fancy us(and Delap in particular) to take the game by the scruff of the neck 2nd half and bag a couple of goals to nil...
Philogene came to the champ for £5m (and not the PREM or relegated team )for a reason, hopefully ( and I'm sure he will ) he'll learn and improve
It's there for the taking, Preston are playing for a draw/sneak a 1-0 win, if we score early it'll open up quite a lot I think
Capacity for football is 25,500 ish and that is including segregation (can’t remember exact number). So 1200-1300 seats missing somewhere. Even not allowing for segregation there’s probably 300 seats lost to it. Home end is sold out. Just can’t figure out where over 1000 missing seats are.
