    Need support lads

    My thoughts are with you and your family! I'm happy to see that after a close call, Mrs King is safe and getting better! It's nice that the whole community stepped up to support too! Everyone who responded quicker can be proud of yourselves! It's heartening to see that despite all the differing...

    Match Thread Preston North End FC - Coventry City Match Thread - Tuesday 9th Dec

    As things stand, we'll probably be back to 'full strength' tomorrow because Sakamoto and Torp will be back in the mix. The only missing player is BTA. Sakamoto was out through the concussion protocol, Torp was 'taken ill' the night before the game and Haji is back now. Southampton is...

    I agree but if there was ever a game to try this, it was against Ipswich but instead we played 4-2-3-1 and KKH looked awkward as a RW. Sakamoto is fit for PNE so I can't see us playing anything other than 4-2-3-1 to start the match on Tuesday. Been banging on about the need to sign wingers...

    We should've been fresher than Wrexham and Ipswich who had 3 game weeks and somehow, we've lost both. I really don't understand that, at least the latter would've rotated the squad significantly.

    I'm not that worried about it all yet because the majority of the goals have been from set pieces which is an easier fix than getting carved open from open play. Ipswich's 2nd and 3rd goals game about because we had 10 players in their half chasing a goal, v much the reverse when beat Millwall...

    Best TV shows or movies you can recommend

    Was it a good movie? I've arranged to watch it with the other half on Friday. The Everyman cinema is a bit overrated imo, the chairs can get uncomfy for a longer 2+ hour movie. Give me a showcase cinema with the reclining chairs all day! Watched Wicked: For Good on Friday and I do not have the...

    Fast forward to the 2030s, Tony will be back voting for Kemi or Farage.

    Exactly, agreed. I’ve been banging this drum all season and it’s been the games that we’ve dropped points that we’ve been unable to change the tide of games. In reality, we don’t have the bodies to fill a bench right now.

    How’s the ref explain that!

    As Oggy said, if he doesn’t give Eccles a yellow, there’s not much to moan about. He did, which makes it look shambolic when he doesn’t call the second incident.

    It answered definitively that KKH is not a winger. He’s a good player but not a wide player you need when chasing a game from 1-0 down. 4/5 of our top goal scorers were out of the starting 11, it’s going to be a tough game for any team in those circumstances.

    View from an Ipswich supporter

    Your view is fair imo. Going into this game, we were missing 4 of our top 5 goal scorers and that’ll impact any team. Even so, football is a game of fine margins, if we score the shot that hits the post or the referee books Hirst a second time, we probably win the game comfortably. Soft goal...

    How’s the ref explain that!

    The ref bottled it and it’s cost us the game. It epitomises just how frustrated fans are with the game. Two like for like incidents refereed completely different. A yellow card offence still warrants a yellow card whether or not they’ve had their first card. Strong reaction on Tuesday please!

    There’s a lot of positives to take from this performance. 1st half, we weee the better team, concede a goal against the run of play. The second half was a reverse Millwall away where we conceded goals 2 and 3 because we were pushing for a goal. The squad is thin. 2 goalkeepers and 4 defenders...

    Have you not looked into leaked memo last month? Of 219 push notifications on the BBC News app, just 4 were concerning illegal migrants/asylum seekers. 3 of those were concerned with their poor living conditions. Maya Forstater’s report claims that on Trans issues, BBC reporting uses activist...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Irrespective of political opinions, I think we can all agree that Trump coming out and proclaiming it’s ’football, not soccer’ and saying American Football should be called something different is genuinely GOATed behaviour. We’re winning the argument, it is football.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Obviously they do, news outlets have biases and the reason the BBC is getting flak is because it claims impartiality whilst promoting liberal worldviews. The claim was that Starmer and his government take questions from outlets they don’t like, that isn’t true at all. If anyone watches...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    That isn’t true at all, Starmer and Reeves refuse to go on GB News and the latter refused a question just after the budget. Polanski likewise refused to answer questions from The Spectator’s economics editor when they were outside protesting the budget.

    Pretty normal to give the edge to the home team with two relatively even outfits. The number crunchers will have Ipswich close to us in their statistical models too.

    Championship thread 25/26!

    I wouldn’t worry about Boro too much at this stage, they’ve got a new manager bounce but in reality Hull and Derby are two opponents with poor underlying data. It’s unlikely both of them finish in the top half.
