[That Fat Centre Half]

We haven’t turned up

 

[That Fat Centre Half]

We were poor today, as I feared the lack of Adebayo really hurt us and how we want to play. Carried no threat and lots of balls Adebayo would pull out of the sky normally just ended up being over hit for Cornick to try and chase. Not much in the game quality wise but Riis provided what little there was so ended up being a deserved win for Preston.

Couple of big home games coming up, think we will know quite a bit about where we are going this season after this next set of games

Gutted we won today, keeps this prick in a job.

Bournemouth away tomorrow ha.

What's the posh, south coast term for a raping?

 

[That Fat Centre Half]

Can’t make it tonight but good to see Adebayo back. Was a big miss on the weekend.

I see Bell/Lockyer been dropped though, the former for Potts which is…uh… not something I’m keen on shall we say no matter how culpable he was on Saturday

 

[Super_horns]

Swansea 2 up at Coventry - are the hosts going to lose at home for the first time ?

 

[SF_]

Piroe for Swansea looks quality.

Been involved in 13 goals this season already apparently

 

[Super_horns]

Quite a turn around from Luton.

Can see Colin's ears steaming from about 15 miles away!

 

[That Fat Centre Half]

Disappointed to miss what sounds like a barnstorming second half for us. Bet the place was bouncing. Great result, if we can finally win when on the tv then we can do anything!!

 

[Super_horns]

Apparently first win over a Warnock side too?

Way to spoil his record breaking game.

[Kenneth E End]

Wtf happened there… absolutely hopeless first half. Was fearing about that game after what happened at Preston. What a turnaround. 6th place again!

 

[Kris Harding]

Lively game tonight, probably would have won if it wasn't for the ref as we had a blatant penalty shout turned down at 0-0.

I will take the point though Sheffield United are in a false position with with quality multi-million pounds players on the pitch. Need to be beating Preston Saturday though to get the home form up and running under Cooper

Wasn’t there and also couldn’t watch, what sparked the turnaround Ken? We make any tactical changes or did we just not turn up and he’s given them a bollocking at half time

 

[SF_]

We're due a proper paggering and an unbeaten Bournemouth side on a Wednesday night worries me, not sure if I can watch this tonight.

Our only hope is Iversen putting in another masterclass and Riis hurting them on the counter. Both being watched for the next Denmark squad supposedly.

 

[Super_horns]

Great win for you !

Fulham starting to be too good for this league .

 

[Craig]

Announce the playoffs.

 

[SF_]

We're the strangest club in the land, our record when playing top of the league must be amazing.

9,200 at Ewood on the cusp of the playoffs, Christ, I thought our crowds were fucked.

Small club elevated by sugar daddy money for a decade or two

There crowds have been pretty low for the whole season, honestly thought they were better supported

 

[Atavistic]

Looks like us and Fulham will be swapping places again at the end of the season, the way things are currently going.

Good home record too till last night .

Looks like us and Fulham will be swapping places again at the end of the season, the way things are currently going.

Probably us and WBA too.

They seem to be doing what we did last season - nicking a few games in close scores.

 

[SF_]

Needs to be highlighted what a difference Ali McCann has made since he's been introduced to the side after his injury. He's a massive player, won the penalty for the second against Luton and it was a lovely finish last night.

Loves a tackle, keeps it simple, can carry the ball and loves a burst into the box. Not sure how we landed him.

Him & Whiteman could be the makings of a very good partnership.

cue..hamstring pull...always the way...

 

[BelizeHatter]

We're trying to outStoke Stoke. And they are getting the better of the physical side of the game. We will try and open up and be a bit more expansive and def will risk shipping another with their quality. Elija getting little change out of Batth so far and Harry not getting the balls he thrives thru the non existent channels. Not enough support with the formation for either as we have flooded the midfield with grafters.

 

[BelizeHatter]

Nice to see a Prem ref try and let the game run and flow, even if the rub doesnt seem to have gone our way. Hard for flowing football versus a Stoke side built to disrupt and we trying to match. Dour spectacle

 

[oakroader]

Right NJ..is there a plan B ?

 

[That Fat Centre Half]

Managed to follow bits on ifollow but not the entire game. Seems we got done by a “professional” - in every footballing sense of that word! - Stoke side. Got there goal and just strangled the life out of the game. Saw them taking the ball to the corner with 10 to go!

We weren’t good enough to be able to come up with something to break that down. Frustrating as Stoke didn’t look anything special but then again we didn’t either. Feels like we are very reliant on Adebayo and slightly lesser extent Cornick, if they aren’t on top form, and the former played well today from what I saw but was up against some huge centre halves who played well, we really struggle

 

[CCFC_Charlie]

Unbelievable second half performance from us today. Down to 10 men, 1-0 down, then 2-1 and come back to win 3-2. Third game this season we’ve won at the Ricoh with a goal in added time as well. Must say however, Bristol City are dogshit. Worst team I’ve seen us play so far and it isn’t particularly close.
