    A lost 45 minutes in the first half giving them confidence was the difference.

    Mundles goal was up there with Roberts V Watford.

    More concerned about the performance than the result. But I feel like we’re in a bit of a lull. Perhaps this is just the breather / lull before hitting full pelt for the playoffs

    International break feels needed

    We didn’t lose,

    13 points from us to WBA/Coventy,

    we must play better Saturday then use international break to regather for the final 9 games

    Bored of this '****house' ****e now it was ok when it was only a select few bellends did it but now it's actually part of the game.

    Dreadful game to watch. A moment of sheer class from Mundle papers over what was a poor performance.

    Poor. Didn’t really deserve much out of that with a wonder goal saving it.

    Becoming the norm these flat home performances, need to find the solution to it.

    Thought Riggs cameo was the best he’s looked in a while and you can see what we’ve missed with mundle.

    I think we look our best when Mayenda leads the line.

    I still maintain it’s too early to be hitting top form before the playoffs. That’s what I’m hanging my hat on. Don’t want to peak too soon. I’m relaxed about things right now.

    Mayenda and Mundle were only.decent performances.

    Isidor doesn't do much if he isn't scoring in comparison to Mayenda, especially if he sint making the runs off the shoulder!

    We never got going until the goal went in and what a goal it was!

    1-1 is a fair result

    Not good enough tonight. Extremely flat, it shouldn't take PNE taking the piss to get us going.

    Still can't believe the Mayenda sub. He was the only one of the starting attackers who looked close to being at it, the rest of them were very poor.

    Jobe and Neil chose the same game to be poor, they weren't helped at all by the setup though. Was 2v5 in midfield at times.

    Thought Riis was good for them, a real old fashioned no.9 performance and despite the missed chances he still scored.

    With ours and Burnleys result tonight if Sheff Utd hold on I think thats the top 2 sorted.

    Think a point was about the most we deserved from that, credit Preston they really nullified us and had the ground silent until they stupidly time wasted and riled us all up, some goal, was very flat tonight for the most part but atleast we never give in I guess, think we need the international break we look more and more leggy each week

    At the start of the season when we went on the good run I think we mainly started with mundle Rigg and Roberts behind mayenda. I’d be tempted to go back to that on Saturday.

    I think ironically Preston carrying on like an embarrassment to the sport cost them the win, it was what finally woke us up. If Porteus was off the pitch at the time I wouldn't be surprised if it was some bullshit pretend injury and shot themselves in the foot there too.

    Well, imo, an experiment with 442 that was unecessary and misguided.

    But again we showed a spirit that gives huge hope.

    Off to finish my 3rd large malt. Might enjoy a slab of malt loaf.

    MoM. Not sure. Nobody :emoticon-0111-blush
