Knapper gets a lot of **** quite rightly but Makama was an absolute steal , he will probably play at a higher level .
Massive unit with speed & 2 good feet & an eye for goal.
Probably worth £10m already at 21 & English
 
Personal view fair result bet the journey home on the coach is fun after conceding in the 95th minute
Pitch didn’t help possibly the first dry day since 1982
Think Mr Martin got worse as the game went on
Less then impressed with the decision to bring play back book your lad especially when we were through on goal

Since PC came in the quality of performance has been massively improved.

As a CB the big man will surely want a couple of clean sheets from his team, which we are sadly lacking so far
But we did come mighty close! With 2 home games next against Charlton and Watford we need to start picking up points and some clean sheets would help as well.
 
Kick in the nuts but we'll easily stay up playing like this.
Weird how the keeper just can't get a clean sheet.
It's not his fault but we need strengthening at least as Grimshaw is pretty pants.

Pele & Jovan look class

Well earned point should of been 3
The knives are out for Kovacevic on X again. They have to blame results on someone. I don’t think he did much wrong today and like I said may possibly be carrying a knock as Darling started taking goal kicks.

DD I think that’s being harsh on Grimshaw, I’d certainly rather him then George Long. Best case scenario Vlad is class and the 2nd choice never plays anyway

Is that the one where your striker brought the ball down with his arm and the ref and assistant still gave nothing? Lucky you can only have complaints about 1 incident from him, I could raise a handful of decisions that went against us from non-existent fouls against us to ignoring several comparable challenges on us. Officiating in this league is poor, we had the benefit in one decision last week and we didn’t get many today.

Preston look a decent side this year and I doubt many expected that. Very strong and athletic, quality where it’s needed, resolute defense - I think our only shot on target was the goal!

Draw was a fair result in the end just doesn’t feel it when you concede so late

No it was late on, might have been after your goal your lad got booked
 
So after the games at the weekend we didn't lose ground on our bit for safety. Our performances under the new manager have improved no end, we actually have hope of survival. I wonder if we will look to the loan market in January with the option to buy at the end of the season if we stay up.
 
So did PC to be fair
After the Southampton game the bbc had 3 headlines on its championship page about Makama's "controversial goal." That was overkill and I thought it sounded personal.

PC can have his opinion about var. I don't want to see it again til we're in the PL.
 

Compliments of the season, see you when it's still light at 6 pm
 
In his post match interview PC mentioned that Spingett has been out for 2 years. This is the second time I've heard him say this in an interview.
