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

[Bethnal]

Kinell, Brittain is a real head-scratcher… such a strange footballer that he can go from two assists in the Stoke game to absolutely dogshit supply in the two following games. How do players - who train with footballs for hours each day - not master the ability to kick a ball?

After my whine a page prior, we've looked better the last 5 and brittain has been driving it a bit

[CambridgeRover]

Better, we have a bit of pressure on them

Without bothering to look I'd bet he played primarily a winger at youth level and ended up a fullback

Hedges for me has been poor BUT he has been injured for 4-5 months and then expected to play 3 games in a week is a bit ridiculous. 

He's also clearly not a Wingback.

Garrett well off it 

[West Yorks Rover]

No yellow cards yet, strange for a local derby.

Burnley 0 Arsenal 5

Cheer up guys, we haven't lost - yet

 

[CambridgeRover]

Is Garrett a preston sleeper agent

That last goal was brilliant too. Opened them up with a throw in. Get in

I thought this is the sort of scrappy physical game that would suit Garrett but hes looked a yard off the tackle let alone passing.

I think he's scared to make a tackle these days - anytime he goes in hard he gets booked. It's neutered him as a player. 

[Bethnal]

Preston looking the more comfortable, currently. We look a stretched squad. More subs at this stage would be a big risk, so the 11 currently on the pitch have to make something happen.

Dingles fan, lol

Thought Brittain was awful against Brum but been okay today. Its Dolan/Sigurdsson and Fleck / Garrett who have been the major issues IMO.

Feel like a last minute Preston goal is incoming

I’ve been a bit rash in my criticism (he’s got an assist today), just a complaint that dead balls aren’t amounting to anything and the balls in are poor.

All results going against us

[yankfan]

There’s a huge hole in the midfield. Haven’t collected a ball in there this half

[yankfan]

Garrett just chasing shadows in the middle of the park. 

[Bethnal]

Only bit of shape at the minute is the back three, everyone else is getting pulled out of position.

[WacoRover]

Slim chance we ride this out & get a point

Stoke Swansea Cardiff all losing

Siggy brings nothing to our side. Looks like a different player than the one who started the season.
