    Match Thread Preston North End FC - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 4th Nov

    Surely the return of O’Hare looking lively is a positive too? And the formation change could prove to be a big moment I think. Strange to say that I’m happier after this defeat than before it.

    Kasey Palmer

    Pretty sure nobody ever said the player was world class. It was just about one particular flick wasn't it? And to be fair it was as good a flick as you'll see :)

    Ronnie Rees RIP

    Very sorry to hear about this, and it’s sad that Ronnie spent so many years in care. However by the magic of that grainy film, it’s a real joy to see him in his prime. RIP Ronnie, you were always my favourite as a kid.

    My concern with Robins

    Yes, he's underappreciated.

    My concern with Robins

    That's genuinely a really interesting question. I imagine it might pan out a bit like our games against Boro in the playoff semis, although Boro last year carried more threat than we have (so far) this year, and we still beat them over two legs. A very difficult match to arrange though!

    Nice touch tonight-When will it turn toxic?

    You're joking surely. And posting team plans / anticipated tactics a couple of days ahead of a game? I realise WBA wouldn't go looking for information on Sky Blues Talk, but anything plausible on the web travels everywhere within minutes. Genuinely surprised the apparent mole hasn't been whacked.

    What, by a few defeats you mean?

    What consensus? That's insane!

    Nice touch tonight-When will it turn toxic?

    I bet the management team wish there were more supporters like you, with your boundless positivity. They must also be thrilled with your helpful leaking of stuff supplied by your insider (who should shut the f**k up IMO).

    Fine Margins

    I don’t get why you find a City team stringing passes together boring – there have been plenty of periods in the past when we weren’t capable of that, and it was definitely worse to watch than what we have now. If we’d got one less win and finished 10th last season instead of scraping into the...

    Get that clown out of goal

    Preston seems just north of Chorley to me.

    Fair points, but I have been really impressed with his technical ability and touch, and his interplay with those around him. When we signed him I imagined he was only a tricky dribbler. Considering he’s got no experience of a league like this, I think he’s doing really well and there’s more to...

    Some absurd criticisms tonight, especially of Saka, Allen and Eccles (who played really well apart from the obvious poor set piece delivery, which he shouldn’t be asked to do anyway). I’ve also got to question a lot of the comments about lack of effort, desire and team spirit. I really didn’t...

    Get that clown out of goal

    Just wondering whether the ball moved late in the air for the first goal, which when hit at pace can cause keepers problems even when it appears to be hit straight at them. TV angles not helpful in that regard really.

    Seems to me this is a trend in modern football.

    It’s over isn’t it?

    And fine margins between unbridled optimism and absolute despair for quite a number of posters here.

    Recruitment has been shocking

    When he fails to go past his man, Robins isn't accusing him of disobeying instructions. Milan is clearly finding it hard to have the confidence to do what the manager would like him to do. I really don't get 'attitude problem' from that.
