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

Pretty poor this. Going through the motions

 

Rusyn lacks physicality for this league. Too weak.

 

Yep. These lads need minutes. Ba has barely played all summer. Let them play it through.

 

Hjelde is awful
The more I see of Ba I’m not sure English football suits him, never looks like he’s on the same page as everyone else

 

Triantis brilliant again there

 

Preston have the bit between their teeth.

 

Ba is really frustrating me

 

Really liked the look of him tonight looks so confident in himself

 

They're trying to go past people and, at some point, they will.

I'd rather they did that than play 100 sidefoot passes and get nowhere.

 

Rusyn to me needs to play alongside a big guy up front...would be like asking Kevin Phillips to play up the middle on his own. Rusyn hasn't got the physicality for the lone striker...

 

Sam Greenwood coming on
Brady off

 

Ba has been poor. Rusyn needs support desperately.

 

Just noticed there’s no Poveda on the bench. Surprise that.

We have 7 wingers in our squad now. Genuinely I’d have Ba behind most of them.

 

Consistent poor decision making for me, he’s not alone mind.

 

I think its about time we gave Jewy 30 mins to just run at these and bugger Greenwood on. Bound to score

 

The tone of this tread has taken a real downturn since Preston scored. Are there any players other than Rigg who haven't been dismissed as "****e"?

 

Never thought i'd say this again, bring Hemir on. Seriously what does Rusyn bring? I don't even see the supposed work rate.

 

100% give me this over the dross we were served up last season at times

 

Ba is having an appalling game. Can anyone remember the last time he affected a game. I don't care how much ability he suppsedly has he's half hearted.

 

Triantis hasn’t been.

and the downturn has been since half time not the goal.

 

He really hasn't improved as he.

Hedje is poor too. 1.5m seems at waste.
