Matchday Thread PNE v Huddersfield Town | 08.08.26 | KO: 3PM | League Cup 1st Round (Goodison Park)

[Hoz ']

Can we play here in our next game please 🤣

 

[Whiteinslough]

Need the new signings but don’t need Heckingbottom, he’s not the one to take us forward

 

[Tarkovsky]

Objectively, to fight from 1-0 down with 10 men in 25 degree heat, is top work, hard graft and the players deserve credit.

If Erabi performs like that every week we’ve got a player on our hands, and Bergzorg looks to add something we definitely lack in a bit of confidence on the ball. Also think Offiah is such a top player personally, build that defence around him, wherever you put him. That’s the positives.

Absolutely miles away as a squad though, Thompson cannot be a starting midfielder, I forgot he was on the pitch when he got took off. Need bodies of substantial quality ASAP, because average sides in our division will slaughter us otherwise.

But, fair play to them for that second half, no easy feat at all in this heat.

 

[NOBBY STILES]

Great performance 2nd half to come back with 10 men & win it ..two new lads look good
Great stuff..

 

[222Mark]

So glad the footballs back 🙄🫢

[Malky]

Brilliant game plan, top manager, fantastic ….. bloody lucky

 

[Flaxby White]

First half very poor. The fact that we made a yard dog ,Fletcher, look like Mbappe, sums that half up. More fight in second half and on the balance of play deserved the equaliser. Very good cameos from Jusefa and Delano were pleasing. Iversen did his job at the end very well.

 

[Warton PNE]

Would be starting Erabi ever Osmajic next week based on that cameo.

Very impressed.

 

[york white]

20 minutes and I’ve seen enough. I have a new hero. Erabi, what a monster.

[NOBBY STILES]

Also great performance from the manager who was getting a lot of stock on here team talk & subs did the job credit were credit is due

 

[Hoz ']

I hope we can improve on our goal celebrations from our new combo!

 

[Realist]

Reality check, League 1 opposition, did alright, Lang, Burgzorg and Erabi did well 2nd half. First half was shite, If we play like that in the league it’s going to be a long old season! 6 or 7 short for me! Great character but to be expected!

 

[cragtek]

Arise the Burgzor King

 

[Gordon Bennett]

Better when down to 10 men, great to get the win, but once again our central midfield is not fit for purpose. It just creates nothing.

Thought Erabi looked very good, could be a surprise package.

 

[Doyler]

We played pretty decent for 70 minutes of that game. And we had ten men for a lot of it.

A brilliant change at HT bringing Lindsay on. Not because it’s Lindsay, but because it meant we could push Hughes on and aim for him from goal kicks to actually get us up the pitch. Despite what people want to think, it’s very hard to progress the ball fluidly up the pitch when you have a man less.

There was absolutely nothing ‘lucky’ about that.

 

[Penny_White]

Would be starting Erabi ever Osmajic next week based on that cameo.

Very impressed.

Looked to have something more than just goals to his game.

Can see him leading the line as a lone striker. Really good cameo.

Agree with that last line. Nothing lucky at all and I appreciate they’re L1 but they’ll go well this season, not an easy game that.

Signs are there but needs reinforcements badly.

 

[OB1]

Turned into a class afternoon in the sun after all that. Erabi looks a right handful, manager said something right at half time.

Looked better in a 4 with 10 men than in a 5 with 11

Why not start 2 up front?
No reason not to.
