Overall, It was a good point and we got something from the game which we rarely do there. 

Of course after being 2 nil up and comfortable, a mad 5 minutes cost us sadly 3 points. 

We scored 2 very good goals from passing the ball quickly forward. Sammie Szmodics does what he does best and Gallagher's finish is quick cos I don't think Woodman expect him to finish with the outside of the right foot. 

I thought Wharton and Garrett were poor for the second goal from the original open play not getting closer and tighten to Frokjaer-Jensen. On the second goal, Hedges should clear it. Pears would have save it without the touch on the ball from Hedges 

Second half, It was both teams not wanting to take a risk to win the game but happy with a point. 

I thought Brittain and Hedges did very well as wing backs and we stop their main danger man in Liam Millar from impacting the game. Hyam and McFaz were good at the back. Gallagher and Szmodics worked their socks off up front. Thought Wharton was poor and Garrett was also poor and very poor positional for the first half 

I thought overall we were much better defensively from open play and more solid and organised. Like I said in the Eustace's thread he is trying to make hard to beat and much better defensively organised like Mark Hughes did when he took over. It is about picking points up and staying up. Eustace and his staff need to sort our defending from Set Pieces cos we need to better and I would be focusing on this in training this week. 

The fans was fantastic yesterday and It was pleasure to be there watching myself. The players and Eustace came over the fans at the end of the game and properly saluted the fans who have made the effort of going and paying £30 pounds to watch it and back the team from start to finish. 

Overall, it's away point and another point on the board.

 It strictly true in regards to getting results at deepdale we haven’t lost there in the last 4 visits, last year we only drew cause of a freak OG we win 4-1 and 3-0 before then lost 3-2 and 4-1  3-2 the years before and won 2-1 before that, our record at deepdale is t bad at all it’s ewood where we struggle but Preston are a bogey who 8/10 get undeserved results against us, the only times you can say fair enough is when we lost 4-1 all the others they didn’t deserve what they got, again at ewood the only time they deserved the result they got was the 4-1 which was cause we was that bad the rest they either scabbed an undeserved win or even draw they get the rub of the green a lot against us

Somebody missed out Ken Knighton there, possibly the first name on the team sheet.

He's definitely there, about halfway down the 2nd half ...

I assumed he was being sarcastic. 

Yes, I was (a dingle could list off everyone to blame before our ex-manager on both hands)

I think a draw was a fair result in this case and that both teams showed good and bad sides during this match.

 

I think the Rovers lads showed grit and determination in the second half which was something that some of the forum suggested they didn't have.

It was quite funny watching the Nobbers Chavs fighting amongst themselves on Saturday. I think it was about who had the last wine gum. 😁😁
