Preston prediction thread

[Ian Royal]

How are we in any way..'due a stuffing'????

We're being outplayed most weeks but only just losing in terms of goals. Swansea is probably the best example.

Bullshit. Swansea is the one example. So far it has often been the other way round. Dominating the game but drawing or losing by the odd goal.

E.G. Cardiff, Donny, Watford and 'Boro (first half in particular), Nottm Forset.....

Having the ball in your own half is not dominating - see Donny and Forest.
Cardiff were hitting us on the break strongly in half the game.
'Boro dominated us in the second half massively more than we dominated them in the first half.
giving Watford the run-around in the first 20 minutes and then switching off is not dominating.

[Royal With Cheese]

We've failed to dominate any team we've played over 90 minutes in the league this season. That is all.

That may be true, but we certainly weren't dominated as the previous poster was suggesting.

Can't make a prediction because I haven't a clue. But I'd just point out that form rarely works out in practice. Last season, Hobnobbers were queueing up to tell us that we had the easier sides at home in the second half of the season. The year before they were saying that we had a better run in than most of the other sides fighting relegation. But form changes. So I am as hopeful of beating Preston as I am of beating anyone else. And I don't rule out that West Brom and Middlesbrough could be less daunting now that they are having wobbles.

[Mid Sussex Royal]

Don't feel confident about this - 0-4.

We've had some beatings there over the years - last time I went there we lost 0-4 - I think Mass Sarr was sent off??

Also remember another defeat when Ken Price was sent off which as good as sent us down to div 4.

[Man Friday]

No, I didn't say we were being dominated. On the other hand, YOU used the phrase to state that WE were doing the dominating!!! ("Dominating the game but drawing or losing by the odd goal.").

I merely said we were being OUTPLAYED.

[The Quiet Man]

I predict a long boring drive home probaly made worse by a spawny fluked late late PNE goal that they cheated their way to.

[The Prisoner]

Preston 3-5 Reading 0-1

And I am going. Wow. A Betfair Reading "Lay" and Preston "Back" combo should pay for my ticket......

[Royalee]

Can't see us getting anything up there to be fair.

[Holding Out Hope]

Personally, i think we'll win this 2-0. Massive 20/1 the odds n all

[Ryn]

Preston 2-1 Reading

[flintyboy73]

it will be very cold, we will lose but I'm going anyway.

[andrew1957]

I predict that RFC will surprise everyone by winning quite comfortably tonight - then go on and beat Boro on Saturday and that within a coupe of weeks everyone on Hobnob will be raving about Rodgers being a tactical genius.

[Arnie_Pie]

No Championship club has this season been involved in more goalless draws (three), failed to score more often (five times), lost more matches from winning positions (two) and dropped more points in games they have led (eight) than the Royals.

We are going to get thumped.

[ankeny]

We turn the corner,its got to happen sometime and we win 2-0,Rasiac and Howard

[Maguire]

1-1

[brendywendy]

a million nil to RFC

[Silver Fox]

Almost ^greed, but I think they'll get a l8 consolation when our players head off to the bar after 85 minutes

[Gunny Fishcake]

Going to game , sometimes you get a feeling , against all odds etc .....0-2 to us .....it's wet cold and miserable up here so all set for a upset !!

So far so good
