Let them "battle" out a draw. A few red cards and a broken leg or two wouldn't go amiss. We'll open up a big enough gap when we dick the Brummies in a few weeks.

At present the fixture list is favouring us, but all that changes in December, which is a tough month for us, so we need to get a few points in the bag now.

We will find out for sure how good we are between Dec 1st and Jan 1st.
 
Re: dingles dilema

Draw will do for me.

Agree with Sliper though we have tougher tests to come and need maximum points out of the next two home games. December does look tough, but then again i thought that about August and early September and look what happened then.

45 points at Christmas will do for me. I think if we are anywhere near that then we will be 1st or 2nd.

Bollox.

How is the fixture list favouring us? December is only a "tough" month because 4 of the 6 games are away from home but we have 2 home games prior to that. Using your cut off of Jan 1st we have 5 at home in the next 9.

Of those 9 teams we face 3 teams currently in the top eight, 2 near the bottom and 4 in mid table. Granted there are no easy games in this division but if we perform as we have been doing ther is no reason why we shouldn't be in the top 3 by the time stumpy departs Deepdale with his tail between his legs.
 
Re: dingles dilema

I'd prefer a Burnley win. Birmingham are real contenders for the top two places, whereas Burnley's small squad (and the chairman's hint that they'll have to sell in January) means that they're likely to drop away as more and more injuries and suspensions hit. I don't think Burnley will be contenders for automatic promotion come the end of the season, but Birmingham will. Anything that takes points of them is good by me.
 
Re: dingles dilema

I agree. Birmingham are the bigger threat therefore I would prefer Burnley to win.

Also, perhaps controversially, I'd like to see us and Burnley in the Prem. Primarily because it'll be a league dominated by Northwest teams next season. Think of all those local derbies - one hell of a year that'd be.

18 local derbies+new stand = incredible atmosphere most weeks. If we could stay up too, that'd just be magical.
 
Re: dingles dilema

Easy, Burnley win no matter!

5 Points clear, is a better prospect than 4 points clear. Also, Brum are probably a bigger threat.

Speculation about a second consecutive season in the Prem!🙂

I vote this the "most posiive post of the decade". Nice one.

After all those "It's all going wrong.., Carlo is wobbling.., December will be hard.., why don't we play xxxx..., why don't we spend £10 mill" posts this is a breath of fresh air. It must be living in "God's county" that does it!

Every credit. Let's have more. Positive thinking leads to positive results.

Come on PNE. More of the same!

P.S. I would also prefer a Brum defeat. Let's get some distance between the top two and the rest.

Re: dingles dilemma

i'm not too bothered as long as, like window fitter pointed out,birmingham don't win.
i'm hoping burnley can get some sort of result against the blues and that we can beat palace and we will start to pull clear of the chasing pack.
 
Re: dingles dilema

i'd perfer a draw of even a dingles win. december looks a hard month cos we have all 3 prem teams from last season away and luton away where we lost. we do have these two home games coming up so lets get them out of the way. i was talking to a cardiff fan at uni on friday, he reconds cardiff are gonna drop off because they dont have the cover. he said first 11 can take them up but the second 11 will take them to league 1
 
Re: dingles dilema

Way too early to be bothering about how other teams around us are doing. Concentrate on winning our own games and we'll go up regardless of how everyone else does. 😉
