Possibly because they were sat deep and he didn't have the space behind them to attack. Interestingly Oggy commented the other night that MVE doesn't have a trick to beat his man, which wasn't something I'd picked up on before. Was impressed by how powerful Simms looked cutting in from out wide...

Think that's a fair assessment.

Simms looked good when he came on, and think we suffered first half due to Allen and Ayari being too lightweight in the middle. Lati was getting overrun on his side for the first half, and it was an easy out ball to their left. Second half we improved massively with the tweak in formation and...

Was thinking of this - I think C O'H's main attribute is causing chaos amongst opposition defences though his pressing and running at people, with the rest of the team benefitting from the chaos created. First touch and passing (even when he's fit) - are not his main attributes, and until he...

Yet ironically, most of us on here were desperate for them to come back from injury. Although we are on a downer at the moment, it is a good time to play Preston. First goal likely to be key again. I will head north with my usual blind optimism!

Weather looks wet up there, so we need to get the ball in the box as often as possible, to increase the chances of keeper mishandling (I'm sure PNE will be thinking similar). get bodies in the box (and make it chaotic).

Wouldn't disagree with that, although I would have thought MR might have given Bidwell a run out in the U21a today to get him match sharp. if he intends to play him on Saturday.

Very sharp 👏

First time to PNE for me since a pre-season friendly in 1775 (or thereabouts) We lost 2-0 iirc (some smart arse will tell me which year it actually was - one abiding memory was seeing 'Cov city will die' on a factory window on the journey in (for a pre-season friendly!)

100% agree - particularly the first paragraph

First league game of that season: Marosi Mason Rose Fadz Kelly Jobello Hiwula Bakayoko Dabo Westbrooke Shipley

I think MR has a bit more credit in the bank than Ainsworth (who has had 1 win at home during his tenure).

Team, or manager? Be careful for what you wish for. If the numpties start venting at MR, then Norwich sack Wagner.......

Yes agree - now that Hutch and Stein have gone, we'll never recover.

1 and 2 are correct 3 - Rome wasn't built in a day (see slow starts by McNulty and Gyo with us) and we haven't finished building yet. We'll see what happens with C O'H, but regardless, I expect us to be really strong next season. I'm prepared to wait for that and support the team in the...

That is complete rubbish.

Pretty much as I want to post, but with one more h on the end of Arghhhhh......................... We'll beat the Baggies, though, and just glad C O'H wasn't injured. Edit: Is Greggs planning an all nighter starting strange threads?

Frustrating, and you can see where some of the problems are. That could have been 4-3 to either side. Something must be done about Eccles taking corners.
