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

Hemir, Jewi and Watson coming on

 

Terrible defending that!

 

He's been appalling all night. He's created nothing and that's his job. He's played over 70 games for us and we can be safe say he's not good enough. I could say the same about the whole back four.

 

AA or Ekwah?

 

Pros and cons, if Clarke had got an injury tonight there would've been pitchforks out.

 

About Triantis? He’s been very good

 

They’ve got loads of fire power. Plenty options going forward

 

Glad we fielded our second string I have absolutely no interest in either cup competitions. Hardly going to win it, increases chance of Injuries and suspensions adds to fatigue just unnecessary extra games for the squad currently. League is priority and we need our best 11 as fit and at it as much as possible.

 

Jewi, Hemir & Watson on
for Rusyn, Ba & AA

 

it’s been done to death but I feel like a dozen championship sides have spent fees on strikers and I can’t believe non would have done a job for us or that there isnt someone out there that we can afford.

it’s perplexing and if not resolved negligent at this point.

 

He's been ok with the ball poor defending. We have four CBs out there and can't defend a ball coming in. There have been some positives but the defence has been predictably rotten.

 

RLB needs to learn about his players, that's what he's doing imo.

 

If Hemir scores im on the pitch, I’ll run from Cramlington I don’t care

 

preston2 Sunderland Strollers 0 not many of the team can go and knock on the Managers door saying they should be in the team , opportunities are going to be few and far between for a lot of these players in fact some will be lucky to remain at the club as I doubt they have a future here producing this kind of a performance .

 

disagree sorry. Triantis been good defensively as well.

 

If you aren’t going with your strongest 11 then you may as well rest the lot. A few got burned out last season and a few have poor injury records. I’m fine with tonight, just wish we’d shown a bit more second half

 

Two players coming on who were basically name checked by RLB as leaving the club, honestly I respect our lack of ****s given towards this cup

 

They do, be interesting how they do over a full season tho - theyve played Derby n Stockport so far

 

Take homes from tonight:

• Zak Johnson is not a right back
• Joe Anderson is not a footballer
• Abdoullah Ba needs some serious coaching about how to contribute to the game
• Chris Rigg is head and shoulders above the rest of that team tonight
• Aouchiche is all fart and nee site
• Ekwah needs selling

 

I can understand the team changes, although 11 was possibly too many but I don’t understand at 2-0 the 13 mins before we went more attacking.
