they concede for fun why do we always make it look hard work against teams like this. but they walk through us at times. Preston are in our faces and we not liking it we have a few players who shirk the 50/50 ball
This could get worse if Farke tries to change things at half time and he brings on Firpo and barndoor
This is Emu’s recommendation at half time. It might surprise a few. I'd take Gray off and put Firpo on. Move Spence to right back to deal with their danger Millar and play Firpo at left back. That would hopefully put Millar back in his box and I feel that we can get at the left hand side of Preston so having Firpo and Summerville together might just create something.
walking down our flanks with amples of space. we have no space no idea's. Preston pressing us to a point every player can feel their breath down their necks and we can't turn and can't pass well done Preston that was your half. simply switched on and want it. we just look don't like it out there we getting outbattled outmuscled simply not liking the forceful tactics. time to be men lads and dig in win them 50/50 balls.
Hi everyone Preston very poor defensively, only Rotherham conceded more & Preston were hamered 1-5 at home to watford last home game. WERE GONNA STRUGGLE AGAINST THOSE STATS.
I think they have out battled us but I don't think they have been dominant. We've had our moments like the Piroe chance but for the most part Preston have kicked us off the pitch and killed alot of our attacks before they've really got going. Preston can't really improve on that 1st half but we certainly have other gears to move up. Farke needs to sort this out before we are in a Birmingham/Stoke/Sunderland position again. That RH side needs sorting. Gray can't deal with Millar and James isn't exactly doubling up with him. Maybe Anthony could do better. I think Spences pace and athleticism would deal with Millar much better if we brought on Firpo at left back. It also gives us fresh legs on either flank and gives Gray a much needed rest. We play again in 3 days.
