Something about the faces Football vloggers pull in the thumbnails for their videos really annoys me - there must a reason to do this that I'm not understanding because they all do it. Might put it in the things that annoy you thread

I thought they set up extremely negatively. So deep, offering up loads of space in midfield while leaving the front two isolated. Beyond that, they just didn’t look up for it.

It was a real ‘on the beach’ performance.
How else would they set up? It was the exact same at Deepdale, they had one big chance all game and took it.

Well not with 9 players camped on the edge of their box while we have the ball on the halfway line for a start. It was far too passive.
Norwich, Oxford and Hull did this and they’re the only teams to get draws out of us. Ipswich actually have the quality to hurt any team in the division and frankly, it was probably the worst time of the year to play them for both ties.

PNE weren’t so much a poor team, we were just comprehensively a better team.

We should’ve won by more but we also considered the game done after the penalty and cleared the bench by 65-70m? This is when Lampard tends to start making subs.

Come off it they were terrible. They were prepared for defeat the minute they started.

From an away perspective it reminded me travelling in the 80’s with a handful of fans present and just waiting for a pasting.

It took the biscuit when their keeper tried to waste time after 45 seconds.

That said, they’re not the only shit team to sit back and try to grind out a shot draw, see: Oxford. The difference today is that we forced more pressure on them and moved the ball well and at times, got lucky. Had we got a lucky (that we deserved) deflected goal v Oxford, we would’ve got a similar result.

It feels harsh to say it as we sit top of the table, but god I was annoyed with that Hull performance,oh well!
