We do, but we can still struggle against well organized sides who sit deep against us.

To be fair, we may have struggled to smash teams, but when you look at our home record this season, we haven't really 'struggled'. All 3 of the drawn games, we should have won. Only the home game against Ipswich was a deserved defeat. With the right attitude this evening, we should be confident of a positive result.

Please be true !!!!

Chat gpt says was taken off injured after treatment on 56 mins but he’s listed as fit to play against Wrexham on Friday

So it’s a watch this space may have just been precautionary but the game was far from won at that point

 

[shmmeee]

Nothing on their forums or post match stuff about him being injured. Their fans naming him in their predicted lineups for Wrexham this weekend

He went off injured after being treated last night

Don’t he play for Swansea? Osmajic is Preston’s striker

Yes sorry may have commented on here instead of championship thread

I think you mentioned the next three games, so I believe that's where it came from.

 

[wingy]

Sorry but no way this is any more the a draw tonight

And that would be alright, but well see 3-0!

Was me. I said I think the two after this were two of our three hardest and it went from there

 

[covcity4life]

They’ve won one in 10 and have a depleted squad. It’s a team we should beat

Not same as awful in my book

We can't always talk about how anyone can beat anyone in this league whilst at same time saying teams are awful and we should win comfortably

Oxford are relegation zone but shown many times this season against us and others that they are not awful.

Preston might be on a bad run but they were on playoff convo not long ago so no chance I would call them awful team

I honestly think this will be a very tough game and I am not convinced we will take advantage of Ipswich's slip up last night.

We are not going to keep winning every single game. It's just so unlikely and Preston will be physical and try and disrupt tonight .

I don't think we can just say it's going to be easy. Might prove to be, but we may need to score early on.

You also can't just say Oxford beat them last Friday, so we should beat them tonight. Football doesn't just work like that. Port Vale just beat Bristol City and Sunderland. It just so often
doesn't work that way and anyone is capable of beating anyone.

I just have niggly doubts about this one tonight and I don't think it's just going to be pain sailing

I would also think that this is probably not a game for Esse against a very physical Preston side. If he's fit and you want to counter that physicality, you play Saka

Hard to predict. Heart obviously says the City, but head is telling me either a 0-0, or shock horror, a smash and grab Preston win.

And I am half expecting a red card

If I could help, I would, but I think you're beyond it.
