The Lancashire Thread

[TomPNE94]

Any news on Barky's injury? Seems like it was just bruising but its quiet on that front.

Bodin is suspended so Horgan might actually get his chance to stake a claim against QPR. I'm still on the fence whether he can deliver week in, week out but could be the surprise package this year.

Struggling to pick an 11, quality competition.

Nothing that I've heard but Neil did say it wasn't serious.

My 11 for the opening game would be:

Rudd

Fisher
Hunts
Davies
Hughes

Pearson
Browne

Barkhuizen (If fit)
Harrop
Robinson

Maguire

If Barks isn't fit I'd reluctantly play Horgan or maybe even Burke if he can play on the wing

 

[SF_]

That would be my team bar Rudd.

Hard to leave Clarke out though.

 

[LeylandWhite]

Same team for me aswell apart from Maxwell in for Rudd.

There's going to be some tough decisions to make for AN this season, we've got a strong first 11 and our squad as a whole looks strong aswell. Can't wait now.

Against West Ham? Had a gash on his leg.

Pre op?

 

[PrestonCha]

Pre op?

Would you fuck it for £100k?

I mean a real pussy like, attached to a blokes leg....not a wound.

Well this is our team today and presumably will be next week.

Nah, 5 changes at half time and it improved massively. Burke to play ahead of Harrop for me, Maxi in and maybe Horgan ahead of Barkhuizen.

I've seen loads of people say they'd start Maxwell, yet back end of last season before Rudd came in he was the villain of the side. What's changed now?

Tbf I think SF has always been a Maxwell fan and I’ve always preferred Rudd. They’re both good keepers it’s just they’re totally opposite in how they play.

 

[TTOCS]

I got Fisher in my fantasy team as I keep hearing how good is he. Mistake or not?

I've always preferred Maxwell, don't rate Rudd that highly.

He's class but he will hit double figures for yellow cards, no problem. He's on par with Pearson for that.

 

[mossypne]

Rumour Maguire is out for 2-3 Months.

I'm off to jump in the fucking Ribble ffs

 

[TomPNE94]

Fucked it hahahaha

 

[SMH]

Sorry lads, that’ll be my fault for sticking a fiver on him for top goalscorer.

 

[SF_]

Season is finished already.

Our luck with strikers in unbelievable.

Garner & Beckford both missed 2-3 months in 14/15.

Beckford missed 90% of 15/16 & 16/17.

Maguire missed 4 months of 17/18 and now it looks like 3 months of this one.

 

[TomPNE94]

Fucks sake lad

 

[LancashireTrotters]

New stadium sponsorship, University of Bolton. Deal includes giving the club access to the state of the art Sports Science facilities there, that’s used by UK Athletics and Man City. Town sponsor with benefits to the team, decent.

 

[TomPNE94]

UNIBOL Stadium has a nice ring to it

 

[mossypne]

Maguire out for 2 months. Bodin out for 6. Fuck this season already.

 

[TomPNE94]

I hate this club so much why are we cursed

 

[SF_]

Zero interest in this season now, what's the point?

I go on holiday at the end of this month, just going to save my money until then and sack it off unless I get a free ticket.

I don't remember a single season without crucial injuries.

 

[markwwfc1992]

Shame, Preston were looking very strong before these injuries.

 

[SMH]

Three days to go, still no recognised left back. As the young kids would say these days, we are a “banter club”.

 

[SMH]

Wins for three of four Lancs lot. Was set to be four wins until the chicken sha**ers blew it in the last minute. English Football needs a strong Lancashire contingent!

 

[TomPNE94]

Have that ya yorkie bastards SoutheySWFC blademan89

 

[SF_]

Lovely stuff, made up for a bad week

 

[blademan89]

Left with 5 overs to go, fucking shambolic bowling. And an even worse collapse. Why don't any of you come to headingley, we must have had 500 plus at old Trafford. Poor atmosphere tonight not a patch on old Trafford but Thursday doesn't help. Literally saw 3 lancs fans singing tonight and 2 in shirts.

 

[SF_]

Purely because of the midweek factor for me, don't midweek footy away games either unless they're in the north west.

It's always so much better at old Trafford cos their is always plenty of us there, never none of you here for some reason.
