Matchday Thread Birmingham City v PNE | 13.10.26 | KO:8PM | Championship

[Preston Lad]

I don't like him, but needs must if Mills is still out.

If Gibsons back then put him in the 3 and Odel goes out to RWB

 

[Jack Daniels]

You can rule out Potts for tonight.

Not for me. As I mentioned in my previous post. Storey defending in high and wide situations against Millar. No thanks.

Would absolutely snatch your hand off for a draw but can’t see it.

Safe travels to all those going. Fair play, I’m struggling to get motivated to watch it on TV.

 

[Jack Daniels]

Woke up today with a weird gut feeling that we will get something from the game tonight.

Maybe a honking 0-0.

Hopefully this gut feeling is right and we can finally start putting points on the board.

That is your body telling you that need the early morning sit down on the bog!

Looks like Nolan and Gryba are with the first team squad as they aren't named in the reserves this afternoon.

Potts is starting btw, with Reid only on the bench.

Ayodele who has scored around 10 already this season should be with the 1st team, not Gryba imo.
Plus he is a couple of years older so you'd presume he'd be physically better to handle himself, yeah?

 

[Gerona]

Safe travels tonight and Up The Lilywhites.

Shudders in Hull away memories last year

Ayodele and Gryba are the same age. Gryba is about 20 days older and has had some senior football at Brig. Thats why he's favoured

Oh, I thought Ayodele was 19.

Both 17. Reid 6 months older

 

[Doc Brown]

It’s fair to say I’d take a point tonight.

Huge respect to all travelling north Enders tonight. I am not expecting anything from tonight’s game (points wise) as I said Saturday I’d just like to see signs of improvement being made but I genuinely believe the majority of our squad are simply not up to the required standards in this division.
Travel safe please those brave souls going!!!

 

[jaiyenyen]

An absolutely appalling game that finishes 0-0 will do me fine. Thank you

 

[PNE04]

11/2 to win a game against a team in the same division is hilarious. We’re so shit.

 

[pne_alan]

After what I witnessed on Saturday I wouldn’t let Pol even brew up.

I think it's Polly who puts the kettle on..

 

[europne]

We have no strikers/forwards.

We can’t score goals.

Other clubs start with 2 strikers and have 2 sub strikers on the bench.

2 and a half months without any credible attackers.

The position we are in till January is beyond belief appalling.

Even in the days of Westley or Tommy Booth we had forwards.

Who in the club is responsible for this atrocious situation?

Westley's strikers included, Elding, Beardsley, Holroyd, Cummins, and for one memorable occasion, Aarron Brown. Tommy Booth had Vernon Allatt at his diposal. All of 'em were shit. I dont know if my memory is playing tricks but, I reckon all of them are better than what we had available on Saturday, and we were playing at a lower level then. 🙄

 

[Big 1]

Credit to those going tonight. I'd be happy with more than 1 shot on target after Saturday! Come on North End, fingers out!
