    Rudoni …?

    He didn’t go missing. We made a very obvious change to get it forward quicker second half so that our non footballing centre halves didn’t have as much ball and we could pressurise theirs. That took him out of the game a bit.

    Robins talking about fans being angry

    He was on the touch line heading balls. He was just as passionate at the end. He’s no Di Canio but we shouldn’t confuse that with a lack of passion.

    Time's Up

    Thought Robins got the system right today. But was let down by Van Ewijk in particular - which is rare. All three of their centre halves you’d describe as bang average - but we desperately need some defensive nous of that ilk.

    Time's Up

    Second half we were clearly the better team. We missed 4-5 good chances.

    Time's Up

    Here we go. Robins set the team up for today and we should have won. Second half really looked like they were playing for him. Just needed one to go in. Time to get behind Robins. It will turn.

    Match Thread Preston vs. Coventry City - Match Thread - Sat 19th Oct

    Largely eventless first half. Second half we were much better when we pressurised their back three. Wrights goal was fine. We’re far too easy to score against but we had more than enough chances to win - we just weren’t clinical enough. Some of our short range passing, especially Sheaf and...

    Decent half. Just missing a bit of composure final third. Dasilva has been excellent. Bassette is an absolute pest and I’m still trying to work out why Dovin was ever dropped.

    How long are we going to persist with this playing out from the back.

    Be interesting to see how this goes. Maybe Bassetes energy rubs off on Simms. A clean sheet would be nice

    Spent £10m on L1 players

    I think the debate has established a few things. 1) If you’re spending £4m on a player try and make sure they are good. 2) If you’re spending 1-2m on a player try and make sure they are good and 3) if you’re signing someone for more or less than that try and make sure they are good.

    Spent £10m on L1 players

    Granted. But the gems are always there somewhere. It’s ridiculous to rule out making signings from there.

    Coventry City U21s v Birmingham City tonight

    I’ve not enjoyed a match thread as much as this in ages.

    Spent £10m on L1 players

    You just can’t find talent in League 1. If you looked for gems there in times past you’d have ended up with no hopers like Maddison and Wilson.

    Wilson injured!!!!

    Dovin without a shadow of a doubt.

    Sheaf

    What a bizarre take some have. We’ve wasted all of that money?? We bought two strikers who got close on 20 goals each. You’d easily get the Gyokeres money back from just those two. And with the rest of the cash + Hamer we’ve constructed half a squad - all of whom are our players.

    Transfer Rumour Oliver Dovin

    Dovin is what I call a zero risk signing. He’s young. He’s already recognised internationally. He’s obviously a good keeper and he has that all important calmness/aura. He’ll be our keeper for a while I think and will probably go in to big things. Wilson and Collins are perfectly acceptable back...
