Matchday Thread PNE v The Plastics - 17/02/24 - KO:3PM - Championship
That was so funny....
3-20pm and the PA announcer said " Can Blackburn fan Joanne Warburton please return to your vehicle, you appear to have left the engine running ! "
How thick are they ??
We really do not want to know........🥴......
I spent most of the day with you Sid and now you tell me!🤣
Hey I was too busy thinking about your description of scoring in a brothel Bill. I t made me laugh.
Agree their Loweball, 5/6 weeks ago we would have capitulated.
Belief has grown although we fly through the flak at periods in games.
Mixed feelings for me, annoyed at the sloppy errors that put is in the defect but relieved for the quick about turn with the goals.
Result not a disaster but felt Plastics were a below average. team to be beaten.

Was well funny that. I’m pretty sure the announcer was trying to stop himself from laughing too.
I've now seen some highlights but haven't had a viewpoint that shows where he made his run from.
He looked well offside when he received the ball, but that can be deceiving, if he timed his run from behind a defender.
Spaceballs
Eddie Lewis GOAT
In the grand scheme of things, a good point, especially the way we fought back to get it. Should we have taken all 3? Perhaps, but the fight of this team is what needs to be applauded the most, especially how much that aspect of the squad has changed so much of late.
Just two points from the playoffs and a 6 pointer if you will as far as that goes against Coventry on Friday; all still to play for.

I said on Friday in the team v plastics thread that Gallagher, Szmodic and Dolan shouldn’t be underestimated, and what did we do? Give them the freedom of Deepdale for the first 15 minutes.
What the hell does Lowe do? Instead of starting the game with a high tempo we looked like we just had to turn up to get the 3 points, pathetic.
Then fair play they got stuck in eventually and pulled the game back to all square by half time.
But it was only when Millar went back to his best position on the left did we really start to hurt them. This was somewhat unbelievable in my view, changing the balance of the team to accommodate Brady on the left is questionable.
Apart from his goal I was on edge every time Brady got the ball, I’m really not impressed.
But more importantly even Rovers fans were pointing out before the game the threat of Millar against a very pedestrian Brittain, they saw this as a real weakness, but it took us 70 minutes before we acted on it. Is that not bad management, do we really not have another option at RB ?
Square pegs in round holes doesn’t work.

It could work…wonder if they’ve tried it training ? Naw….
A thoroughly enjoyable game.
2 mistakes let Rovers in but they scored with 2 excellent finishes.
We scored a peach of a goal and then a scruffy scrambled effort.
Only 1 team 2nd half tried and wanted to win.
64% possession to PNE.
Decent result after being 2 down.

Excellent Captaincy. Ex-Burnley player who’s been abused by the away fans all game and has just scored his first goal. Emotions will be heightened and he’ll be pumped up on adrenaline. Last thing he needed to be doing was getting booked for antagonising the crowd or snapping into a challenge
