Do you know he once scored a hattrick at deepdale?

As far as I know Nuge never scored a hat trick at Deepdale. Only Richard Creswell and @edgy's favourite player, Jon Parkin, have scored Championship hat tricks for t'North End.

(Awaits correction 🙂)
 
Davies at fault for first and 2nd for me. Not a good day at the office

He was but Brown was equally culpable for giving away possession before the foul - rather than a simple pass, he decided to try and out muscle the player and made a pig’s ear of it.
 
Get Hunts back for the Derby game.
Make him captain and get some fight into the team!
He does not like losing and will put his body on the line for the team!
When he stepped into the team earlier in the season, when there was no one else, he never let us down and when Neil’s favourites were fit, he was back out of the squad!!
Let him show some of the others what playing for the shirt is all about.

Agree. Hunts should be vice-captain now anyway that Gally's left.
 
Actually, this afternoon hasn’t turned out as badly as it could have done... Swansea and Blackburn both lost and Millwall only drawing at Barnsley.....

we need Brizzle to slip up tomorrow...
Got to admire your optimism Ando! 🤣👍
 
It’s our cat I feel sorry for. When we lose, it gets a kick up the arse. It’s usually made a full recovery by the end of June.

Sorry guys, I’m just trying to keep my spirits up. I love animals and would never cause our moggy any harm. Thought I’d just add that before I get the RSPCA knocking on my door.

I’m not correcting you. Ando is already typing up his rebuke as we speak

I think it just shows that apart from Leeds🤢, West Brom and Brentford, the rest are average at best.
The three teams mentioned if they all get promoted will struggle. Lbh, if we by some miracle got promoted or the likes of the Blackburns and Millwalls of this world did, we'd all get absolutely mullared in the Premier league.
 
After a good deal of thought I have come to the conclusion that we shouldn’t start with number 9.
My choice for Wednesday would for Maguire, Sinclair & Barkhuizen just to switch about along the front line...we’ve nothing to lose.
Also as others have said get back to the pressing game and make good use of the subs earlier if there are tired legs.

Neil's negative approach is astonishing and flies in the face of everything he promised when he arrived. Remember him hurling water bottles in pre season games if anybody played a backward pass? The man who claimed he would rather lose going for a winner than accepting a draw?

Today we switched to 4-4-2 and immediately looked good and grabbed an equaliser. Push on for the winner? No, switch straight back to 4-2-3-1 and try and contain a bang average opposition. With disastrous results. The players must think he's mad.

So pissed off and already dreading a few weeks time when we are told Louis Moult "will be like having a new signing".

When I saw the formations of both teams before the game, alarm bells were ringing tbh

Love Barky's workrate but is just me that thinks when he's asked a question by solid defences he looks like a rabbit in headlights, fluffs his lines.

For me it's simple 'Barky get on the ball, run fast as fuck past the fullback and when you see the bye-line bang a decent cross in' nothing else that's your job.

Agree York, on Moult though, I think I'd rather have him than any other of our so called "strikers" at the min. At least he has a bit of a goalscoring threat about him!
