From Deepdale

From Deepdale

Took until 2nd October last season to get to six points.

Just shows you what a horrendous start to last season it was and pretty much killed any play off bid straight away.

Aye, good performance but you could tell we were playing without a specialist striker.

Definitely played well but were gifted the first two goals from quite weak long distance shots. Always on the front foot then allowing Barkhuizen in behind their defence...

It’s when we go behind or are chasing games where we’d struggle...

But good win nonetheless and need to start on the front foot again on Saturday

Can we also lay to rest the bullshit about DJ not being good enough/lazy/can’t tackle blah blah blah. Good to see Fisher back on it and Potts looked very good when he came in.

It’s not bullshit! DJ can tackle, win headers, press, intercept, harass and nick the ball, as well as being a force offensively. The problem is he hasn’t done it well or often enough. What he does when we don’t have the ball is as important as what he does when we do have the ball.

I really hope the penny has dropped with DJ as he is almost undroppable when he is as good without the ball as he is with the ball.

Who'd have thought Browne would be warming the bench? Fair play to Johnson

The strongest midfield trio remains Pearson, DJ and Browne. Gally doing great job atm but obviously at his age isn't goint to start 40 games this season.

You also have Potts and also Bayliss hopefully to come into 18 soon. From what a Coventry fan has told me he'll make far more impact at this level than Ledson.

Midfield options very strong and certainly one area that dosen't need a cash injection.

There was an interview with AN a couple of seasons ago where he said DJ is that good he can be undroppable. The onus was on DJ to perform as well as he can and he would be playing week in and week ou. Now Browne has gone from one of the first names on the team sheet to the bench.

It would have been interesting if AN had done the same towards the end of last season when Browne appeared to be injured and out of form...

Maybe seeing his mate move on and set himself up for life financially, through consistent graft and focus, has really made DJ sit up and think about things.

He's certainly got the potential to really make a go of it, and time is still on his side.

Here's to many more performances like the ones he's put in so far this season ?
