Matchday Thread Bolton Wanderers v PNE | 15.08.26 | KO:12:30pm | Championship

[northend nevets]

Did I hear that right?

Preston didn’t score a single direct free kick last season?

Barely any of them beat the first man so i can imagine it being true

 

[Warton PNE]

How the hell has one massive hoof up almost meant we conceded again 🤣

 

[No Danger]

Far too many offsides.

 

[boeoz]

Gotta hit the target there Alfie.

 

[oil-man]

These continual offsides are really pissing me off.

 

[norky84]

I don't get how we've spent all Summer with 3 at the back as we don't have the players to change. Burgzorg is our only new player in the starting 11 today and we've changed to 4 at the back, with no preparation.

That half is all on Hecky.

 

[LeePNE]

Incredible how many offsides we’ve had in this game. Must be close to a new record.

 

[Bugz13PNE]

No pace in midfield or defence to stop Boltons counter attack 🤦‍♂️

 

[Benito]

How the hell has one massive hoof up almost meant we conceded again 🤣

Because our defenders run in slow motion.

It's like the parting of the red sea, over and over again

No idea considering we have the lightening quick Lindsey in charge of the defence.

 

[ShaunG]

So that's what they've been working on in pre-season: how to look confused and incredulous after being off-side... Gotcha

 

[LeePNE]

Lang is horrid

 

[shabbagaz]

Still being rinsed. What a joke.

That’s an excellent point. It’s a bizarre decision.

 

[fishwick2009]

There’s no urgency in our play at all

 

[northender0602]

As abysmal as that XI and manager is, I genuinely think we'll draw if we scab one back early in the half. That's how bad Bolton are.

Well we are making them look like world beaters at the moment.

 

[Nutty]

I forgot Lang was even on the pitch.

 

[Dannypne7]

We could try PASSING TO A FUCKING RED SHIRT

just a suggestion

 

[Victorthesecond]

Hecky must think it's a rule that no subs are allowed before 60 minutes. That's the only reason I can think why no changes at HT
