I was expecting more last night from your lot under the tutalige of the Ronseal Man but i was left disapointed.
Whyever you have signed Leon Clarke I dont know. He struggled to hit a barn wall from the inside whislt he was at SWFC so dont have high hopes for him being your saviour.
I was suprised to see Treacy on the bench, he always looked pretty decent when I have seen him play.
The first half after the opening say 15 minutes your midfield lookd to be chasing shadows. Ashbee was a really good player at this level a few years ago but injury and lack of games told last night.
First goal was a lucky goal but when your in the shit its bad luck all the way. your keeper kept you in it first half for me as your highly rated defender types ie St Leger looked a pale comaprison to what i have seen of them from previous years.
Second half there was only one team still likely to score and that as us untill we took O Connor off. This coupled with your subs for me meant we lost the upper hand and allowed you to claw your way back in creating a number of openings down our flanks which were not exploited. Still, several times bfc broke and lookd threatening , the final ball was a let down. your entire back four looked slow and like they had concrete boots on, could cope with our pace.
Your keeper made some outstanding saves late in the second half, two the ball had seemingly already beaten him but they got stoppd on the line.
His kick in the last minute yes as shocking however, it fell to one of the slowest midfielders on our books and your outfield players just watched.
you can tell you have phil brown in charge given th increase in hard tackles in the second half but i do not think he is the man to keep you up.
Still saying that, it would seem you still have to play the blunts at Deepdale. A win would be ideal for th majority of Yorkshire as well at for PNE
 
Much of what you write - I would not disagree with .
I note you don't mention Hulme. He did 'flash' at the ball & sky it rather than control it, when he had the time, And also didn't get enoght height on his crosses. And PNE didn't have the width therefore the Midfield was simply overcrowded. We di dhave acoupla chances in th we2nd half - one drew a Great SaAve from your goalie& t'other was right at him.
TBH neither side looked like they will set next season on fire, bu the accuracy of Barnsleys passing was far superior to that of the PNE.

What happened with John Macken & where did he go after you?

I think Barnsley fans are a bit annoyed with Hume, after saying Preston fans 'wanted him more than the Barnsley fans', despite being clapped off by Barnsley fans and most fans having a lot of patience with him when they waited on his return from 'that' injury.
 
Macken is at Walsall and has been for most of the season, not sure if it is a loan or not.

How was Matt Hill last night? would he have been a good bring back player had we gone for him?
 
Uprightman.
What was your thoughts on the referee. And also the Assistant on the side the dugouts was on?
For me the ref did not giv much to us and was pretty soft when it come to your lot. That linesman let at least 4 or 5 balls go out of play and neverflagged once, This went in both teams favour but doesnt make it any better!!!!
I think once we went to 442 Danny Mayor terrorised your left back I think it was still Matty Hill.
You rode your luck in the second half and I feel we was the better side for much of the second half, If Lonergan had not been in good form in the first half we could have been 4 goals down. Bu saying that your goal was very very lucky.

In summary:

Clarke is shite and we're going down.

...i believe you missed the bit about your home support and how they were absolutely abysmal. pfft, and i thought deepdale was bleak at times 😛
 
i wasnt going to mention Mister Hume. For me he was done at Barnsley after his cameo V forest last season. He had a gut that any seasoned real ale veteran would be proud of. Three stone over weight.
Yes it was Matt hill at left back. Cannot decide if he is any good or not yet. Macken left after his contract expired. Still lives in town i believe.
I liked that Mayor, looked a very good young player, we are after a winger you know. . .
Sf, I have been to Preston. If you didnt have a university you would still be in the darks ages too.
The ref was utter shite. So were the idiots on the touchline although on did flag for tripeir getting chopped in two.
As for our home support, it have been shite for around 8 years now. Alot of the young mouth pieces who sing, at one point myself included, have either been banned, threatened to be banned or are just fed up of getting filmed very home game and dont go anymore. The club have a thing for people who stick v's up at the away stand.
Doesnt help either that it was a freezing cold tuesday against a team that we do not percieve as a rival. Only two home games left this season that'll wake people up. Doncaster and the end of season bloodbath. Still away from home we are loud and proud.

Oh and its hitting a barn WALL not a door... think about mister Muir.

Don't know how you can say that. He was the biggest homer I've seen in a long time. He gave you lot fuckin everything the useless cunt.

In my opinion you were the better side in the first half but you played on the counter in the 2nd and we were the better side without ever really looking like scoring. We were all over you for the last 25 mins or so until our keeper fucked up.

I don't think I heard your fans sing at all. Only noise you made was when you scored.

biggest homer? Give up. He was appaling both ways. you finished with 11 men for a start.

Everytime we breathed on some of your puffs they went down like sacks of shit.

What about at the end when your player clearly pulled back Treacy, a nailed on booking or so I thought. It seems those in red were an exception to the rules.
 
Don't know why people are bringing the ref into it. He made no difference.

We were shit. End of Discussion.
