v Preston North End (a) - 17/02/2024

Why did Hedges clear that for a corner btw, 

[TheKitGuy]

We've not been good they've been poor. Twice they threatened, twice they scored. I know the first was a good hit, but it stems from them threating us.

The usual if honest. It’s so tiresome with this team. We’ll lose this now. Just watch. Hope I’m wrong.🙄

[Devon Rover]

Qpr winning at Bristol City.

Lose this from 2 up and I really, really fear for our confidence levels

Think Liverpool have been referred to as the ‘mentality monsters’. 
We must be the mentality mice.

Softest underbelly known to man.

Mostly because he’s not a wing back, but he’s all we have 

[WacoRover]

We will be lucky not to be down by HT. It gets so tiresome. 

[Darrenbot]

Equal with Rotherham now with 59 goals conceded.

[NeilInBristol]

At least Swansea and Birmingham are losing

[Bethnal]

Warren Lucy has said it right: “avoidable.”

Definitely masters of our own fate here, which I hope is highlighted at half time. A great start stymied by a loss of composure/lack of concentration at set pieces. Some kind of mentality issue there, we just fall apart. A real shame considering the defending had been stout in open play.

Every chance that we can come back out and hurt them early again, but we need the composure to be there.

Generally good performances, although more attacking players have been the weak point in defensive situations. Garrett looking slightly peripheral, but not unreasonable being subbed on that early. Difficult to be fully in the mindset for this kind of game.

Better than Tuesday, but more needed.

Whats frustrating is the two goals were soft and ones that the back three and McFadz  signing were supposed to stop. 

We looked so comfortable but suddenly on even terms.

If we were down 2 30 min in…it’s over.

[Exiled_Rover]

Keane bitching about being blocked off is hilarious - that's all PNE have done all game. 

[Hannoverover]

This team has some serious problems. Play attractive possession football, concende 3 goals a game. Play hard man percentage football, concede 2 goals in 45mins.

Also sad that we seem to have replaced our more technically gifted academy players for older journeymen bruisers. Only seen 45 mins of this new era so maybe I'm being a little harsh.

I'm looking forward to watching Wigan play rugby later - didn't realise I'd be watching a scrum at 3pm. Good lord - PNE getting away with absolute murder on both those set pieces. 

Have the opposition EVER scored a goal against us which wasn't a foul in your eyes?

And some fans said it was JDT's tactics that made us vulnerable!

[Andy]

If Leo concedes that 2nd goal (an own goal, no less), everyone loses their shit.

We are just too easy to play against.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

We sat down at 2-0..we stopped running at them FFS!
