Nugent

[FootballcrazyP_]

WTF, at his age I couldn't run the length of a pitch. Just how much ground did he cover tonight? Glad he got his goal, a small reward for the amount of work he put in.

But I was surprised at the talk of him playing till he is 40. Every credit if he gets there. a good example to the younger ones about putting in the hard work.

Anyone see him still playing at 40?

After he missed that sitter he was possessed, determined to get a goal. Works his arse off and well deserved that goal tonight. Hopefully the strikers are learning off him!

He ran his socks off and got into good positions. Having some mobility at the top end of the pitch, even if he can't do it for 90 minutes, benefits the rest of the team, especially the 3 behind the striker, massively.

Nearly shed a tear when that goal went in, my hero as a 10-13 year old kid watching North End. Never thought I’d see him score for us again.

I’m a bit pissed alright, let me have this

Glad for him, but if we are pushing to be at the top we need a striker in January.

Be interesting to know when the last goal he scored for North End was, before last night.

The last time at Deepdale just before he scored for England, 2007 v Burnley...

I can, it's more doable these days if a player treats his body right and doesn't go crashing cars whilst coked up ect ect . And if he changes his game to just float about sniffing out chances he might do alright ..... As if nuge scored winner.... Our Dave is back

Aye that's the one I believe.

12 years, 8 months, 24 days between the two goals, or if you prefer, 4652 days ?

Slim chance I'm afraid, only ever seems to speed up frankly.

I’m just glad I stuck with my avatar for 12 year, it’s paying off now.

You stuck with it because you thought you had to pay for them!

It was a moment that many of us have been waiting for & certainly put some extra zest in to my celebration of the goal. Hopefully he will kick on now & we will see some more from him

Didn't think he had it in him, top class performance, hopefully he hasn't pulled a muscle but he looked like he was struggling before he went off.

I always said he will score if he comes back... Who was right ? Me ? Yes

Has there ever been a longer gap between goals for us than that ever?
