What a performance from Stuckmann to have kept us in that game. We could easily have been 4 or 5-1 down at half time. Davies was getting destroyed by Baker. Coventry started 2nd half the better side and got a fortunate 2nd. But fair play to lads for way they played after that.

Still don't think Westley is the right manager for our club. His gesturing to fans pre game to give him more abuse was not needed. Nor was Dino gesturing at our fans after we took the lead needed.
 
It's a fucking circus - someone needs to escort these clowns off the premises as soon as possible.

Just to clarify, seeing as I'm spending my money on something useful instead - we were lucky to get a draw?

Thanks
 
You could see.when the crowd got going 2/3 the way into the second half that the lads got a lift and got an equaliser. Had Cummins buried that gilt edge chance we could have took 3 points. You can see confidence is affecting the players a lot.
 
Positives:

- About as entertaining a game as we've seen at Deepdale for 4-5 months.

- Stuckmann was excellent and hopefully will keep the No1 spot for the rest of the season.

- Surprised Bailey Wright had the armband (ploy to get him to sign a new deal?) but thought he handled Clarke as well as possible, although he did get away once for his goal.

- Cummins worked very hard and deserved his goal.

- Jack King played well.

Negatvies:

- No idea why Davies was thrown in against a quality player like Baker. Looked all at sea and got turned inside out for the Cov 2nd.

- Has Westley fallen out with Buchanan? Been our best player in the last month, why was he benched?

- Joel Byrom is the Aldi version of Darren Carter. Overweight and does nothing. Particular highlight was defending a freekick in the box first half when instead of clearing it he just turned round so hit him on the back. Ridiculous.

- Where was John Welsh?

- Best two strikers benched due to new "tactics". How long can this continue for?

- Monakana still looks like he's off and now putting minimum effort in.

- Pitch was a disgrace.

- First sub was Procter on, clearly settling for a draw with 20 minutes to go. Westley constantly motioning for the game to be slowed down in last 10 too. Disappointing.

All good points and pretty much bang on.
 
Don't blame him slowing it down a bit at the end. You need to have platform to build on and a decent performance against a top ten team flying is a small building block. If we'd have conceded a third pushing too many men forward then he'd have been crucified again and the players confidence would be shot. Small boost of confidence ready for Tuesday and a must win game against Shrewsbury. Makes me feel sick that we are once again looking at surviving in league one. We need to be watching Bournemouth and MK Dons and start getting to grips with what they are doing that we aren't.
