I'm with you, if they score first, then I think they will be difficult to break down and would be happy with the draw. If we score first, then I think we can go on to win by 2 or 3.
They've got a really good gaffer PNE and a top striker in Riis hopefully McLoughlin has him for dinner like he has done Diaz, Solanke and Piroe the last 3 games. They've relied a lot on late goals recently which is good for us as we are the best team in the league defensively for the last 15 but on current form in that time they'll be our biggest test. Can't wait to see the 2 new forwards in and amongst it as one has serious european pedigree and the other had one of the best goal ratio's in the championship last season. Eaves will either be even better then he has been the last 3 games due to competition or will crumble tomorrow, wouldn't want to see him dropped though.
I think one of the big management tasks will be keeping the confidence at realistic levels. I watched Preston the other night, and on our recent performances, we're more than capable of beating them, but there is no room for over confidence or complacency with any of the teams in this league. That's part of the beauty of it in my view.
Reading that link the referee has only been in charge 4 times this season.... lets hope he's not some wanabee who's going to spoil it...
Nope it was Pope Gregory on a visit to a Roman slave market in the 6th Centaury who when asked who these fine haired and fair faced boys where he was told they were Angles to which he replied " Not Angles but Angels"
Once woke up with a bird who looked exactly like that, well , top half did up to midnight, and in the morning she was definitely bottom half !
Looking forward to it, be interesting to see what tweaks Shota has added during the week, listened to his interview on club site and mentioned no one injured from Swansea game, but Honeyman is definitely nursing that shoulder. Fingers crossed we can continue the run against a decent Preston side. On a side note anyone know how the ticket sales are going ?
