We really miss Mooy or someone similar as there's often no outlet for our defenders. Its either pass it back/square or hit it long. We really do need to look to sign a playmaker in January, whether that be permanent or on loan. Also if there's a break clause in his loan, then send Chalobah back to Chelsea. May be taken out of our hands. Reports around that both Grabara and Chalobah may be sent elsewhere in January by their parent clubs if we are still in a relegation battle. I doubt we'll be in a relegation battle by January but even so I wouldn't be concerned if either of them left. Grabara has been ok but nothing special. I'm sure we could pick up a decent keeper if they aren't confident enough in Schofield yet.

Apart from the last 15 minutes, you were easily bullied. Did think the ref was a bit of a homer but your manager's antics on the touchline were embarrassing, Graham Westley esque. Pritchard looked a class above when he came on.

Nothing wrong with our great manager you lancashire lowlife. UTT

Pritchard looked a class above when he came on. Given the ref admitted to him after the game that he'd made mistakes, you can hardly blame him for being a pain in the arse on the touchline. Within the first 20 minutes you got a ridiculous free kick which led to a goal and probably should have been down to 10 men. Hardly gonna sit there happily is he? That said, I was impressed with you lot today. Some good stuff, some shithouse stuff, but very effective. Never allowed us to settle until it was too late for us. Good luck for the rest of what could be a very exciting season for you.

Telling quote from DC: “I've been a football manager for 13 years and I can probably count on one hand how many times my teams have been outfought. I'm not used to it and I don’t like it.”
I don’t think we’ll be putting in another half-arsed shift again any time soon. He has no tolerance for it.

I'm not used to it and I don’t like it.” I don’t think we’ll be putting in another half-arsed shift again any time soon. He has no tolerance for it. TBH it was half-arsed, but it was also a lack of quality. Chalobah needs to be sent back in January. He’s nowhere near the level and is not what we need. Too slow on the ball, too many touches which allowed the PNE players to get up in his face, resulting in turnovers or back passes. If he did make a successful pass, he then ran in behind the PNE player so was never in a position to receive the ball back, forcing a back pass or us to go long. Kachunga was anonymous. Late in the game we bring Mounie on and he won more flick ons in his cameo than we had won all year. Kachunga never gambled on any of them, stood like he was stuck in mud. Kongolo was either not bothered or extremely rusty. Grant was finally brought into the game once Mounie gave their CB’s something to think about. It was no surprise that was our best period of the game. Pritchard was a class above when he came on. With Hogg out, surely O’Brien has to become our sitting midfielder? Grant and Diakhaby out wide with Bacuna and Pritch as our other mids. I think the Cowley’s missed a beat today. PNE were pressing hard and we had no option to go long. Mounie should have started today along with Pritchard. We needed to bypass the midfield battle without Hogg today. PS apparently they are x-raying the ref to see if he ate the real ref.

Not sure we would of been anywhere near good enough to win this match as Preston were at us from the off, and we struggled to cope with it, but the referee today was absolutely shocking every time he had the slightest chance to blow the whistle in prestons favour he did, and Preston are so strong when given chances to cross into the danger areas that given the amount of pathetic free kicks the ref gave we had no chance today. The pen was one that are rarely given. Came away from game thinking we tactically got it wrong today, also confirmed to myself that Chalobah ( mop head) is a bloody liability, would be happy to never see him in the blue and white again. Pritchard and Steve Mounie were late positives. If Hogg gets suspended or injured we are in trouble and will even male a brave statement of saying won’t win a game this season without him with the midfield combination used today.

Obviously we were shocking and no complaints about the score but can't see Preston as top 6.

They can go and be average/poor in a team higher up the table. Again, if true, surely gaining a bit of character when things aren’t going your way and trying to undo the mess you’re a part of would be a useful learning experience.

Pritchard looked a class above when he came on. As you see from a couple of responses to your reasonable post. We have our share of Knobenders on here. Good luck on the rest of the season. Hope you go up, I believe you are the only previous winner not to have played in the top flight since football was re-invented in the 90s. Bout time you put it right.

The first goal is a shocking decision as it seemed at the time, clear dive by Stockley.
The second is just riddled with errors. No pressure on the ball to stop the cross. Grabara all over the place coming for the cross then going back, if he’d stayed where he was he’d have save it easily. Then worst of all Kachunga with his back to the man totally unaware of him coming in behind.
The penalty is probably fair enough, another one where Kongolo didn’t get tight enough to the man, presumably because he couldn’t be bothered.

Don't really see a stand out team this year maybe West Brom and they arnt brilliant. Leeds think they are it yet have already dropped plenty of points. I hope Preston do go up.

Greyhound Kev warned us about some of the Cowleys' touchline antics being unpopular and we are starting to see it.

All supported by a complete wanker of a ref who may as well have been wearing one of your shirts.

Like Derby away, we never win at Preston. Let’s not worry. Pritchard returning is a big positive. Hogg absence makes a massive difference. Tough fixtures up to Christmas - need to regroup and prepare for the onslaught. They have been a team of physical players and long ball for several seasons. They may do it well enough to make the playoffs but won’t be in the automatic places come May. A gate of 16000 with such a large away following is shocking on their part. 12000 or so home supporters when they are 2nd in the Championship is dismal.

Preston have had 8 penalties in 16 games so far, I've never known a team being awarded so many? One in two after 16 games is an unbelievable stat. Bet that's more than we've been awarded in the last 4 seasons 😂
Edit: Just had a look & we've had 10 penalties from the start of the 16/17 season to now.

Chuffing mystery why Chalobah has been in two consecutive ‘relegation battles’. Baffling.
