    Team selection dilemmas for Preston JPT

    Hopefully we get things sorted for Adams this week. Would be great to keep him.

    Team selection dilemmas for Preston JPT

    I think it has be Bailey. He is probably one best player now. Don't see how we can leave him out.

    Without any shadow of doubt. Err, sorry, what was the question again?

    Team selection dilemmas for Preston JPT

    Fleck was poor against Shrewsbury. Great when he had the ball, dreadful when he didn't. Shrewsbury could have scored 2 or 3 due to his poor marking, lack of tracking and ball watching. On from the bench as an impact player.

    Agreed. Bench I feel.

    Preston at home.

    Yep they get bigger league gates. they get lower JPT gates though because it isn't a priority for them having won promotions and league cups and FA cups and been in many a play-off. For us the JPT is so much more important. First success of any kind whatsoever for 26 years! Makes a big, big...

    Clarke to stay. 1 up front. Midfield of Baker, Jennings, Bailey, Moussa and Sheff. Bench to include Thomas, Elliot, Christie, Barton, Dunne

    Many many Premiership clubs charge close to or over a £1,000 for an ST. Just can't see me paying that.

    Preston at home.

    Massive difference here, Coundon. Forest and Leshtur have had success. Promotions, play-offs, cups. They are used to success and therefore the JPT to them would be of much lower priority. For us, starved of success for so long, this cup is so, so much more important. Just don't think you can...

    Preston at home.

    Cheers Ferret! I think it will be quite a bit better than the Sheff U attendance for sure.

    Preston at home.

    It has to be more than 12,000 surely. It is only a fiver. No excuse really. And SBT, I think the game passed Barton by. Yep, he didn't get it to feet much, but when he did he was closed down and not allowed time on the ball. Would say Barton is exactly the wrong type of player to play against...

    Frank Lampard

    Frank Sidebottom perhaps, but not Frank Lampard.

    Yer, very good point. It's like going to see a show or concert every two weeks and people simply don't do this and most would probably say they can't afford to either.

    Preston at home.

    1 win and a draw. We only need to beat Preston on penalties remember!! I am convinced we will be better against Preston this time round. Last time we played Barton in the midfield and I think it was too physical a type of game for him. We need some strength and grit in the middle of the park...

    Bugger! Thought you were going to say we were getting him on loan!! :facepalm:

    I love the FA cup

    It used to be that every single team would play their full strength teams in every single game. Now they have bigger fish to fry with the likes of the Champions League etc. Gaz, I think the strength of the FA Cup now lies in the opening 2 or 3 first rounds. There comes the unpredictability!

    I'd never want to get back to the Premiership...

    Yeah, but when you go to see the Lion King or Les Mis or Phantom you know you are going to be entertained and you know it will be high quality. How many quality games have we had this season here at the Ricoh? Okay, so it's £20+, but very few of those games have been worth the money. £50 to go...

    I'd never want to get back to the Premiership...

    Would price me out of it for sure. As much as I love the City I simply cannot see me paying over £40 a ticket. Sadly I think it would turn me into an armchair fan.

    I started watching the City in about 1968 I think. Now is as important as ever it has been. This season should have seen an automatic promotion challenge, but those first few games before MR came in really, really hurt us and put us on the back foot. Said on a number of occasions, the...
