MATCHWATCH : Preston North End (a) sponsored by the first long trek of the season

[Libertine]

Ben Pearson singlehandedly injures two of our players.

[Royality creeps In]

Kelly and swift off injured

Kelly and Swift injured

Isn't this going well.

Away form is a real concern. Damage limit8ion today maybe?

Disagree. If we lose this it's 2 away games on the bounce, not sure how you can say our form is bad. I posted in another thread that before today we had won 42% (41.6) of all our away league games under Stam. We have plenty of defeats but overall 30 points from a possible 72 away from home is pretty good imho. Also damage limitation isn't really in Stam's vernacular which was half of the reason we lost so heavily at times. I think it paid dividends in the end.

[CountryRoyal]

Evans in the book for dissent after being frustrated from another sloppy effort at a challenge. HT needs to come quickly. we're all over the shop.

[Libertine]

HT 1-0

How many times have I heard, "Bacuna loses the ball"

If it stays like this, our last 10 away league games:

W3 D0 L7 F12 A24

It's a concern, for me.

[Hound]

Sounds like we are just playing poorly, constantly giving the ball away

Sounds pretty self inflicted so far

[urz13]

Clement has been awful so far. No clue what he offers because all he seems to do is give the ball away in compromising positions.

[K.URZ13]

The injuries are obviously devastating but, thinking positively, the introduction of Mendes was necessary regardless.

[Hound]

Basically the midfield that did so well against villa all off the field after 30mins or so

Joey's fitness is becoming a big issue. He was instrumental in the game against villa but can't seem to string 2 games together

It's a concern, for me.

Fair enough but I'm very skeptical about combining two seasons for a representation of form.

Provided we get the necessary recruitments (I.e a decent striker) before the end of the window then I expect a similar sort of pattern. The problem is when we play away from home teams tend to attack us more directly which exposes us and somehow haven't yet figured out how to deal with it.

I'm going to wait until 10 or so games in before I'll even entertain the idea that there's a problem.

This is like role reversal

[biff]

Ref is a oxf*rd homer

[CountryRoyal]

2 cracking saves from Mannone already, looks to be a really good purchase.

+1

[CountryRoyal]

Bacuna to make himself an instant hero.



Nvm.

[alfie9]

Bacuna to make himself an instant hero.

...and he's slammed it into row Z

[Sutekh]

Kelly and Swift injured

It's Preston away, what do you expect?

[Hound]

Sounds like Mannone is having a decent game on the plus side

Down side is sounds like the northerners sound far more likely to score than we do
