    Are Sheffield United not a parachute team? Plus you'd expect clubs with vasty greater resources to beat us more often than not. Not sure that's much of a stick to beat us with, really.

    There was no excuse for not winning that at all. First half, we were not bad, and it looked a matter of time before we'd score. After the red they sat in, so it was always going to be difficult. But again against a low block we looked ponderous and lacked vision. Then after getting into the...

    Football attendances in general were lower across the board in those years. We shed support in the SISU years for obvious reasons. I'd say we now have, for the most part, a re-engaged fanbase and youngsters who now want to be City fans. There may be some casual fans who'd have told you they...

    I've just watched the highlights; he didn't. He got the third, Nuddy got the fourth.

    Orange ball and Chris Whyte? I don't remember Rennie scoring, either. I remember him getting an equaliser when we had nine men against Wimbledon, though. Also, this was a period when we played Blackburn, someone would get hammered. Sometimes us, sometimes them.

    Transfer Rumour Charlie Hughes

    We don't need another centre-half at this stage. We need wide men and another body for the middle.

    Plainly we haven't blown it, but I don't want to see complacency like that again.

    It's not a case of what you expect, it's about what you should get with how the game pans out. There should be no argument from anyone that we didn't throw two points away there. It's ok to be extremely frustrated by that even if on paper an away point isn't terrible. Others may disagree, but...

    Middlesbrough was our best performance of the season by a distance.

    Preston Player Ratings

    Thomas was decent, Dasilva was ok. Forwards poor; Wright's movement was good first half, but he had a lot of very presentable chances. Essentially we didn't win that because they thought it was in the bag at 1-0, though. That's what I'm most annoyed about.

    We looked more like scoring first half; we opened them up a few times.

    Ref watch

    The worst thing he did was not to give an extra minute for the substitution. At least five minutes injury time, they make a sub during that and he blows at 5.07 over.

    I think he's a Championship player, just not a top end one.

    Also being objective against 10 men we never really looked like scoring. It took a massive stroke of luck to get one.

    They thought it was won and got lackadaisical. It's feeble.

    We made it easy by not moving the ball quickly enough. The standard of balls into the box was dismal, too.

    Heat of the moment, etc., etc., but I genuinely don't think EMC is all that. He's powerful and athletic, but if he can't beat a defender for pace, he seems lost as to what to do. I think he's a weak link. He was so poor in that second half; just dithered in front of the full back and passed inside.

    Not if we play like that, we won't. I don't think there's any positive to take from that at all, the second half performance was honking.

    Absolutely pathetic, that. Pathetic. Pure complacency.
