Match Day Thread Preston North End FC v Sunderland AFC - Tuesday 13th August 2024 - KO 19:45

[Prehab26]

Mess of a goal and game over.

another note but it’s only a matter of time until Rigg becomes a starter and I don’t think it will be much time. I want to see him coming on in cm and not out on the right. He can make things happen and can change a game.

Fully fully agree. Hate him out on the right. Needs to be rotated with Jobe for me.

Might as well give Watson a run for the last 15.

who you dropping for him in midfield? Not being facetious. It’s a tough one. Jobe and Browne were great on Saturday

 

[LeeBarryCattermole]

Ba has actually looked a bit better on the left, less opportunity for him to fanny around

 

[kirkyboy]

I think we’ll see a few of these going out on loan / sold after this game. No more opportunities in the cup and some are clearly no where near good enough for the first team

 

[Hudson92]

Dunno if I’m an idiot or just blind faith but I’ve enjoyed this, good seeing some of the lads we only see get cameos and seeing what they’re about even if some haven’t set the world alight, it’s one thing playing in a mix match squad to one or two coming in amongst the regulars

 

[Nads]

Blackburn 10 in 2 games might be half decent this season.

 

[DELETED ACCOUNT 1234]

Grim second half. Sub was an indication of how serious we are taking the game.

The starting line up told us that to be fair.

I've no issue with it personally. It's very early in the RLB reign and he wants to see more of the squad in competitive action.

Hopefully this gives a little more clarity on what needs to be done in the last weeks of the transfer window and shows which players need to go out on loan or be moved on.

Yep purely based on Saturdays game you can't drop any of that midfield 3. Rigg is quality but there's plenty of football ahead of him.

Completely agree. Good to see these lads in a proper match that doesn’t really matter.

 

[SourPatch2]

A big part of this second half is that Preston have realised that they can pin us back because we have no outball. Mayenda at least competed with the Cardiff defenders.

I don't want to wait until the deadline for a forward to come in, we needed one 4 days ago.

 

[Nozs’ Hat]

Why isn’t Le Bris making subs and going all out attack here. 15 mins, **** or bust

 

[Robref62]

****e 3 handled cup

 

[Hudson92]

Extension of pre season for me, Ekwah rigg triantis the stand outs, I like AA always tries to be positive albeit seems to try abit too hard at times

 

[TopCat.]

Because he couldn't care less about the cup

 

[SourPatch2]

Because we clearly aren't bothered about the competition, plus we don't really have the bench options to do so.

They were and a good point but we’ve got 45 games yet. I see similarities with Browne on how he drives us forward but brownes experience will keep him in. I think he’ll be looking at jobes position to take who’s only 18 too and needs to be managed better than last season. I think AA will have the biggest concerns out of the midfielders looking at tonight, Ekwah did Neil’s role okay tonight imo.

I reckon he wants to see the lads that are on prove they’re the next in line. And see their character.

I think he goes before the window closes. Wouldn't be arsed at all either.

Should be bothered about every game for me.
