Forget the big four, it really is the big five.

Darnell Fisher has proved yet again how vital he is to how we play tonight.

We are different team both defensively and in attack.

We all know he is a master of the dark arts but there is much more to his game and we simply win more games when he plays.

Get that contract done.

I think fisher has to be 1 of the most improved players I witnessed at deepdale ... 2 seasons ago I remember teams were targeting the right back position against us as he was the weak link ... he’s come such a long way since then. Be great to get him on another contract and it’s well deserved to.

No player got further forward more regularly. Constantly overlapping and cutting in on the byline.

His role in the team cannot be overstated
 
Fisher has been our best defender and best attacking outlet for two + years...he had a couple of below par games when coming back from serious injuries and a few people on here have took far too long to recognise a) the importance of attacking full backs and b that Fisher is our best player at this level. Wins his personal battle against about 20 different players a season...so what if he's not a big team player off the pitch. A team does not need to be made of exclusively bezzy mates ask Sherrington and Andy Cole.. its a profession...if he's a bit of an oddball or loner who cares.. the more characters the better...
 
He didnt even play that well tonight and still impacts the game so positively. I dont think the early card helped, didnt get as tight to Aluko as he otherwise would. Nor did the fact that Omar Richards was overlapping all night and was very impressive.

I dont think our home record would be nearly as bad had he played in any of the 4 games we didnt score in. In 2 games where he has played behind Sinclair on the right, we have scored 5 goals (against the 1st and 3rd placed teams)

Please can we stop the "Rafferty is adequate replacement" argument, not even a discussion

We'd be mad to let him walk for free at the end of the season.
