Hi There

Not been on for a while but with the game being just under 2 weeks away and our teams being 2nd and 3rd respectively I thought I'd drop by.

Of course come the game night our league postitions could have changed dramatically with 2 games in between but it could be the most important derby game for sometime.

So I just wondered how you were all feeling, can you maintain your current form? Who's likely to cause is the most problems? Is it true that Nugent is not living upto expectations this season?

For ourselves, if you'd asked me a few weeks ago after or dysmal performance against Colchester I'd have said it was an easy 3 points for you, now I reckon it could be a real cracker. Our front 2 (Gray and GNW, yes thats right the man that was donkey of the season last year) along with Steve Jones are causing all sorts of problems for defences, we are competetive in the middle and defensively look pretty solid, though its probably the weakest area at the moment.

With it being a Friday night TV game how many do you think will come? I'd hope that with our current league positions both Burnley and PNE fans would be out in force but as only around 10K (maybe 10.5) could be bothered to come and see us on Saturday when we were Third in the league I won't be betting on a record crowd.
 
Re: Its Been A While

as its our only real derby this year, i think we will bring a couple of thousand. depends on how many of you lot turn up. we've got danny dichio firing on all cilinders now. 😀 nugent isn't scoring but played well i thought on sat. set up the 3rd goal and didn't stop running.
gray and noel-williams wont score against super carlo nash 😛
our new defenders are starting to adjust to life in the championship and have formed an understanding. we still struggle to defend set pieces but we have conceded less than you but scored less too.
could be an interesting game. draw maybe. or we may just nick it 😀
 
Re: Its Been A While

Set plays could be your undong then as we have Gray and GNW who are incredible in the air and our young striker (lafferty ) is also about 6'5".

I reckon it could be a belting game and as you say, with it being the only Derby of the season I'm hopeful of a decent turn out. Truthfully gates at the moment are incredibly poor, I'm hoping we can maintain current form until the game to tempt more out.
