Looking at their result at Boro on Tuesday and the match stats, the home faithful may need a bit of patience this Saturday​​​​​​?

Yet they lost their previous 6 away games. Though you could perhaps it's been a tough set of fixtures: Brentford, Leeds, Wigan, Villa, Forest, Birmingham then Boro. Only 2 goals scored in that run.

One thing we do need to improve on is that we've conceded 12 goals in the last 20 minutes of matches so far this season. In comparison we haven't yet conceded in the first 20.

not that many hard games in there; wigan aren't anything special, Brentford are near us and haven't won in 8 games and villa are only a couple of places higher than us too. Boro, forest and leeds are hard games to be honest. Can see us winning by 2 or possibly 3 goals on Saturday.

Wigan have the best home form in the division. Brentford are up there too. What is key is we need an early goal. If we get an early goal we could win by 3 or 4. Michael Smith is a league one striker at best - he got 1 in 19 for Bury last season and they got relegated. If we don't get an early goal fans need to be patience. Rotherham will be coming for a point so it will be a totally different game to the one witnessed last night.
 
Rotherham are bottom of the Away form table. Stats = 7 Away Games W0 D1 L6 GF2 GA14

PNE are exactly middle of the Home form table. Stats = 7 Home Games W3 D2 L2 GF17 GA13

'Should' be a banker home win, especially given our recent home form, scoring 8 goals in just 2 games.

If we don't win this one, some serious questions need to be asked!!
 
Even last season we could never take any game for granted, whatever the position they are in the league. Rotherham are in this division on merit.
 
It will be interesting to see Jamie Proctor back at Deepdale, but I don’t know about anyone else I always get nervous when ex players return.

Jamie being a local lad should get a good reception, that is if he gets a game?

There are no easy games in the Championship Tugg as you know and Middlesborough couldn't break them down in Tuesday also, Rotherham almost nicked a win near the end of the game

How long have you been following PNE?

To paraphrase - "We should be beating #teamslikerotherham" 🙄

Precisely the sort of rubbish we get levelled at us.
 
Ideally I'd love an early Nmecha goal and then watch the boy go.

I'm predicting a frustrating afternoon, but the introduction of Maguire sees the deadlock broken and Seani opens his account for the season.

Nice One.
 
Rotherham are much better this year, compared to previous seasons.

Solid and hard to beat, similar to when we come up under Grayson, good defence but struggle for goals.

Would love an early goal tomorrow or it could be a frustrating one, they can easily nick a couple against our defence.
 
They do look a better side this time around, but they have 1 point from 7 away games and 2 away goals. We're on the back of 2 home wins scoring 4 in each. Its not a banker, no game is, but we'll be favourites everywhere (except for maybe on this board....)!

Don't get me wrong, i'm backing us to get the 3pts but if we don't get an early goal it could be a slog.

Don't get your knickers in a twist you two. I have been following PNE for a long time and know damn well that nothing is guaranteed. Said myself that there are no easy games when we played Hull last weekend.

However, I am looking at the form of both teams Home and Away this season, particularly goals scored/conceded for both teams Home and Away, AND most importantly recent Home/Away form for both teams.

We are the home team, in form at home. Rotherham are the away team, out of form away form home. No, it won't be easy (no games are) but IMO we should win this game and that's not being disrespectful to Rotherham, it's taking into account everything I have just mentioned.

Mate of mine took North End at 7/4 on Wednesday. Fantastic value. If I'd seen that... I'd have done the same. Those were good odds for a match where I always felt we had a decent chance.

Rovrum though... potentially tough match. If I had to bet my life on the result I'd go for a home win. But far from a gimmee and I guess that the odds available at the bookies will not represent good value. Best value bet could be for a draw.

North End 4/7 for a home win this morning at William Hill. Just popped in to do my weekend acca.

I agree with all of what you say Tugg however, to include
I think If we don't win this one, some serious questions need to be asked!!

is a bit harsh given, as I posted in my initial reply, that Middlesbrough who are currently 2nd in the table couldn't beat them, never mind score against them.

BTW I too have been supporting PNE for a long time, my first game being in October 1966.
