If we were to have been playing like this and lost/drawn, I don't think many would mind. The ambling about without effort has been my major gripe. Also, is it a surprise that we are performing with a right back, a left back, midfielders and a striker all in their proper positions?

Tbh Bennett has function really well at setting first press from central midfield

 

Edit: and Corry Evans with dinks now

Harry Chapman would have a field day today.

Amazing really isnt it.

Wow, tried to watch the game but having puter issues finally get me network up and it's 2-0.  What the hell, sadly first thing goes the my mind is Brentford.  Keep it up lads, can we do the same effirt 2nd half

[USABlue]

Ref trying his best to make more of a contest out of this.

Gallagher's header hot the post and then went in off the keeper

Seen it from the other angles at half time now. You're probably right actually. Depends on whether it crossed the line before Rudd collided with it. Will have to see what the goals panel decide.

Who's this lad playing up front for us today? Looks a good player - midweek signing?

[Wegerleswiggle]

North End commentators on Ifollow are worried everytime we get the ball wide. 

Got to say, despite my feelings towards TM, this has been the best we have looked all season. 

We look so much better as a counter attacking team.

Tony, if you are a lucky man and keep your job, please please play this system. 

Armstrong, Rothwell and Chapman would be key to winning games like this.

At home, sacrifice the DM for Holtby(when fit) 

45 minutes to go... Time for so much to happen yet.

Next goal is key. If we score it's game over if they score, we won't win.

Funny reading the Nobbers forums. They say the difference is that we have a decent centre forward. Also, they have a LB playing CB - well, so do we so huh

 

[philipl]

Great to be leading- as has been pointed out, pretty well every player is in their best position.

Still think we have better who are fit than this XI and theoretically a much better side when all are fit again. If played in correct positions.

[USABlue]

Who is this football team, thank god we gave.away so many free tickets for our fans to see it.  Now being who we are, will we rest on our laurels, let them back in the game as per usual.  They score early and it changes everything.  Mowbary needs to say no more than keep doing what you are doing lads.  If he tries any of his masterstrokes it's curtains for us.  Hold on for 10-15 mins and their heads may drop.

Mowbray finally manages to motivate the players when his job was on the line. Quick summary, bell starts off really positive running down left wing, keeps going all way to byline, cross over hit to Armstrong who puts in a good ball which Gallagher plants in corner.

Within first 5 mins Evan's and bennet are sliding in, going aggressive, PNE stunned as they expected the soft rovers to come out.

Gallagher gets rub of the green (strong believer we earn the rub of the green when we fight hard) when ball bounces off defender to his feet, left foot curl in off post.

After this we dont sit back and continue being aggressive, even dack tracks back into our own box to help out

I fell asleep after the England rugby game ?

I was actually going to predict a Mercer-esque win just before kick-off. As it's in keeping with our Championship results over the last few years. When even a happy clapper or two are about to snap. BANG! BANG! We pull a result and our manager is the best manager ever for another month ?

[lraC]

Next goal is crucial. Massive we do t concede early in the second half and panic. I am still nervous 

[Tugay's Right Foot]

Finally something to cheer about. Been a miserable past few matches

[Wegerleswiggle]

Having watched Man City on M.O.T.D Tony tinkers with his defence for the next game.

Own goal. Zero doubt

[matt83]

Hopefully we’ll finally win a prize from the Tonybola. 

[philipl]

Should have scored there- both Dack and williams could have done better

[USABlue]

2-0 up sipping coffee wanting the rain ti stop so I can take a ride down south into Arkansas with this awful feeling of impending doom and it's not about getting wet on the bike.

Whose the young lad playing up front, great finish for the 2nd.
