Matchday Thread Coventry City v PNE -23/02/24 - KO:7.45PM

[LostinSpace]

Excellent away win. 13 points from last 15 available, roll on Hull City

We’re on an amazing run, all the more because of the strength of opposition.

 

[Gordon Bennett]

Back from the match. A very pleasing performance . First half great attacking attitude. Movement and passing very good. Riis outstanding. Second half , great game management. You could say Coventry were poor, but they played as well as we let them. Great start to the weekend. Enjoy it everyone.

That was quick!

 

[Portishead]

Is

Best first half away performance I can remember ( since Wembley)
great result.
COYR
Still in with a chance , who knows ?

And the second half felt the same and was brilliantly executed. Never concerned that we'd let them back in. Made them look clueless

 

[york white]

Wow. That is a hell of a display. Let’s just enjoy this and see where it takes us.

I would have genuinely paid money as a neutral to watch us tonight. Entertaining, ruthless and disciplined.

Get in.

Think we made a mistake not selling Riis to Middlesborough. 😜

 

[Hoz ']

Job done - didn't see that coming tbh

No pressure on us anymore. We have the attacking players so lets keep scoring against the top sides!

 

[lenny]

Very good team performance , can’t understand why we haven’t played as a more attacking side most of the season but Rils has definitely made a difference. We are now playing on the front foot , closing teams down even our corners are being varied instead of the same one time after time . Come on Ryan own up what has made you decide to play exactly like the fans wanted us too .

 

[northender0602]

Well that was a brilliant result and two good halves.

That’s an eerie reminder of BD’s interview after the draw at Leeds in the play offs, all those years ago.

 

[Robert Edwards]

I’m going to single out Ali Mccann tonight , i thought he was absolutely fantastic !!

 

[Bren27]

Getting Riis back is like a brand new signing in the January window..

 

[Warton PNE]

Wow. Genuinely wow.

That first half performance was the best I’ve seen us play in YEARS. The counter press was absolutely relentless. We won the ball high up the pitch on multiple occasions and we transitioned so quickly. The quality of some of the play wasn’t Preston North End.

Real credit to the lads and to Mr Lowe. He’s finally, finally getting it right.

Would also like to add, I rated that he didn’t fist pump at the end. He’s learning. He looked at the crowd and it was more of a ‘jobs not done yet’ look. Really rate it.

Starting to get excited now. West Brom and Hull draw tomorrow and next weekend is absolutely massive.

Get in. Up the fucking whites 👊🏻

 

[Ando60]

Ando will be along shortly to tell us we've scored too early and it'll all end in tears 😀

I did think that HC at 7-46pm

 

[Randall Flagg]

Emil. Fucking. Riis

 

[Bren27]

I’m going to single out Ali Mccann tonight , i thought he was absolutely fantastic !!

Much improved player.

 

[Gerona]

Up The Lilywhites

Cheers!

 

[Spaceballs]

Riis is starting to turn into my favorite striker since Agyemang😎

 

[pne_alan]

That period when we had Healy, Macken and McBride (i know McBride never scored for us), i thought we could outscore anyone in the division

Didn't we also have Cresswell at that time to make it 4
