    We need to pick up points here - minimum one and three would be ideal.
    City will be on a high after the draw at West Ham where we clearly were the better side in the second half.
    I am going for a 1-2 win to us. Setting us up nicely for the cup game at Ashton Gate on Tuesday evening.

    Preston is the only away ground I went to on my own. I had a meeting in Warrington over two days went to the game on my own 1-1 if I remember.

    Glorious early chance wasted by us when a simple pass may have got us a goal, but early days yet.

    We just can’t take advantage when we’re well on top…

    30 mins in City dominating the game but probably only one decent chance..

    We lack class in the final third of the pitch which means we lack firepower as well. Several good chances thrown away by lack of options but we are still playing decent controlled football.

    Lack of concentration by Bell almost cost us a goal but we live another day. Come on City keep up the pressure.

    Nice work out wide by Mehmeti and a good cross is just over the top.

    We have to score those, Knight should have at least brought a save from the keeper with that chance.

    All in all a fairly good first half by City but how I wonder what we could be with an all out striker/play maker up front. I still see us playing the ball backwards too much and at times we do that when there are acres of space for us to go forward but we lose the impetus by retreating instead of attacking a somewhat weak Preston. Mehmeti for me is too soft on the ball and he needs a couple of goals to boost his ego but we need those goals sooner rather than later. This is a game that we can win but we have to stay focused, especially in the final 10 minutes, but better work on the edge of their penalty area might just get the job done for the full 3 points.

    We have started the 2nd half on the back foot and need to get back on track. I don't want to pick on Mehmeti but his decision making is very poor at times and that could cost us in this game.

    Can we find a Ward-Prowse to take our free kicks because we have nobody to challenge their keeper.
