    I watched the game on the red button

    The "commentator" was not only monotone but must have been Prestons kit man or assistant coach

    Pedro is the successor to Deeney in achieving what Deeney could manage in current times, wether he could replace the Deeney of 5 years ago remains to be seen but he does work very well in the current formation

    Close but no cigar penalty only shot on target someone described you as being streetwise and impressed with your pressing thought it would be a tight game c’est la vie as the Welsh move onto the next one

    I was at the 3-0 win but don't remember any trouble in or out of the ground. By the time the five goal thrashing came along I was on the other side of the world.

    Francisco Sierralta has to be the find of the season for us. Great steady display yet again.

    The last two games it is debatable if we have 'missed' TD... From a period in which it seemed we needed him to win..... we have proved we dont, admittedly aganst lesser teams. Very promising all the same....

    Just the one blip - when he lost Evans in front of goal, but I guess no-one is perfect. He certainly has improved - his first starts, against Oxford and Newport, were both a bit shaky but he has really earned that spot in the defence now - and he's going to be hard to dislodge from it.

    You're pushing it a bit there,only 16 games left to get the 5 more goals.Surely they cant keep being awarded penalties nearly every game ?
    The Merry Band Of Not Fair We Never Get Decisions etc etc on here must be stunned this season,dont see too many complaints though.No doubt every penalty for Watford was full justified just as any ever awarded against was wrong. Doesnt stop the Ref Bashers rants virtually every game though.Easy of course when Referees cant defend themselves and the critics obviously never make mistakes themselves in life/work.Cant allow the officials to be human if a 'mistake' affects MY club.
    Some are even at it in pretty straighforward games like Blackburn (Home),and then there was the appalling use of the word DISHONEST after Stoke away , even if it weasely contained the word Borderline.Should have been admonished at least on here, unfortunately I dont think Referees can sue for defamation for something like that.That match was won by the way !

    Just the fickle tribal nature of fans for you .

    Most of the penalties for and against have been pretty fair tbh .

    Even the Preston manager said last night was one .

    The commentators on iFollow - Preston's version on Jon Marks & Tommy Mooney - both described it as harsh and controversial. Which I thought was stretching the truth...

    It was an odd penalty as the defender did not intend to foul, Jao was just too quick on the turn and he fell over the defenders leg. A foul but a little harsh perhaps.

    Maybe was soft but then Alex Neil said that he would be appealing for a foul...
