We were defensively lucky against Preston

[Olly]

I thought the back four were a bit of a shambles, obviously there was no understanding between gorkss and hall, connolly was out on a limb in midfield, and I thought he was pretty anonymous, not his fault, not his position.

Walker was too forward too often, and a couple of times had to sprint back about 80 mts a couple of times to rescue the situation on the flank. And in the 2nd half there were a few times when we had 5 - 6 players stranded upfield when PNE broke quickly.

A 1-0 lead was definitely shaky until we scored again, could have came a bit unstuck and finished with a draw. On our corners nobody seemed to know who should have been marking who on the halfway line. overall nervy to say the least .

terrible that defence with the best record in the whole of the leagues.

complacency-wise yesterday, exactly. We need a better backup than hall.

Were you guys at the game?

Preston were lucky to score, I think they had one chance all game, that I can think of anyway

[G.T.P]

was a patched up side against the worst team in the division.
normal service will be resumed next week from the best defence in the division by a country mile .
im not a happy clapper but this is just silly and pointless moaning for nothing to me.
our defence is breathtakingly good.

didnt expect preston to cause trouble for our backline.. and in all honesty only thing i saw that you've wrote was connolly in midfield. aside that they dealt with preston without fuss.. i mean i dont remember any shots or gasping moments..

[Ric-Roc]

Yea they had 1 or 2 chances besides the O.G. Other than that we contained them very well.

No need for a thread at all to be honest. Best defence in the country.

Nuff said.

yes i was at the game, pretty easy day at the office.

I think preston were a tad lucky they didn't go away with a 7-1 mauling.

I agree with all that except for Walker being too far forward. He was one of only a few players yesterday who attacking wise offered quality. Love the guy and hope we can sign him up. Hall was dire imo and needs to get his act together if he wants to play again

Just my view

If anyone's goal led a charmed life, it was Preston's, especially in the second half.
