But Tugg is right, RVW....we SHOULD be beating teams like Rotherham, because as he pointed out, at the moment they have the worst away record in the division. I don't see what's wrong in saying that tbh.

Yet at the time of Tugg posting PNE had only won 3 of 7 home games, now of course won only 3 of 8.

Personally I thought Tugg's post showed a touch of arrogance on our/his part, and a lack of respect to our opponents...…...especially when Rotherham had just come away from playing Middlesboro and obtained a 0-0 draw.

Some on here complain when supporters or managers of other clubs state that they should be beating teams like Preston, but apparently, it is alright by you and Tugg to show the same disrespect to other clubs deemed smaller or inferior to PNE.

Can't understand why some folk are so upset with me saying we should beat Rotherham. I stand by that.

As I explained already, my opinion was based purely on the statistics of both teams home/away form, particularly PNE's recent home form, and was nothing to do with the stature of either club.

Of course it's fair to expect us to win today. PNE a team who had won 3 out of 7 home games (scoring 8 in their last 2) could reasonably be expected to beat a team that had not won away from home, losing 6 and drawing 1.

If you're upset by that, tough luck, get over it.

It's certainly a game we were capable of winning but things are never quite that cut and dried. Hopefully we will win games we are not expected to by way of balance.
I do think we are capable of beating anybody on our day but no doubt most other Clubs believe the same.

Hope we can make it 34! 33 league games as well. Last won in april 2016 under warnock. They must have gone all last season without a win and yet still got promoted. Amazing really. We need an early goal today.

Haven't checked but my guess is that it is 33 Championship away fixtures and won't include last season in League 1.

Aye Miff, it's a way of cheering me up slightly if we don't beat them. Though I have, unusually, put PNE for a win in my Saturday acca.

Hope you had 1-1 in a single bet Harry. If so happy days.
 
I was interested to see if Jamie Proctor played and if he had improved any since he left us, I was a bit surprised at the reception he received when he came on, have I missed something, I thought he was quite popular with the fans at PNE?

I think it goes back to when he and another player (whose name escapes me) said they were too good for us. Or at least that what was intimated by the club.

Yep, he dissed us. The scumbag.

Although, TBF, his choices were to carry on being managed by a mindless, psychotic, sociopathic charlatan or have all the fans hate him. I suspect most of us would have seen the 2 year contract and headed for the M6 right away.

Danny Mayor was the other one Joan! As Simo says it's difficult to blame them for escaping from the lunatic...
