I think we are being too passive in the window. Ipswich and Boro seem to be really keen to strengthen and I find our reluctance too a bit strange.

We don't really need anything. A top talent signing would be great of course but I don't think we're crying out for a signing.

Grimes back up the most likely. But on other positions we're fine

This is a boring old just butter jacket potato performance from Preston

I just look at a few of the other deals going through, Mehmeti, Louza, etc I think they would add a lot to us

 

[Tommo1993]

That's what he is there for. We also relied on Hadj and Esse scoring, thats football. Rushworth is part of the dference you do know

Rushworth is there to keep goal, yes. Clever of you to notice. But the defence and midfield aren’t supposed to be as easy as they have been - is the point.

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

You much be so depressed now, as you know we won't go up

There's always the play offs

It's more of a "think you have a jacket spud left for tea and then you find it's gone green and sprouted" performance.

So are you saying a good defence should never let a goalkeeper make saves and keep his team in the game. Thanks for noticing I'm clever not sure I can repeat the comment

 

[CCFCBat]

I think we will miss those as well

Would love both of them here where has Louza gone?

Sounds like hes off to Ipswich

 

[Evo1883]

I think weve been top for about 150 days .. imagine finishing in the playoffs now

You say the same about every transfer going.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Wouldnt be surpirsed to see Preston finish bottom half..they are lucky they got the points they have or they woukd be sweating on relegation.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Mehmeti and Louza would be excellent signings, as would Amass who has gone recently.

I dont think many would argue.

I know people like to say XG means nothing , but what it does show is preston are overachieving and create the chances of a bottom half team

Ipswich need to do something different to get to where we already are. We don't have the same pressure as them to build a Championship super-team right now, that should stand us in good stead next season.

Why do we not have the same pressure?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Louza I still had down to go to the top flight tbf. If he goes Ipswich frankly they’re taking the piss.

 

[Evo1883]

I think we have good players all accross the front tbh id like to see us get a good defensive midfielder

 

[SBT]

Why do we not have the same pressure?

Because we're several points ahead of them and have been consistently playing at a higher level than them all season.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Because we're several points ahead of them and have been consistently playing at a higher level than them all season.

we are in effect 3 wins ahead.

Thats not much and can be eroded quite quickly.

 

[shepardo01]

Big second half needed from Preston

They've started well!

 

[CCFCBat]

Because we're several points ahead of them and have been consistently playing at a higher level than them all season.

I wouldn't say we have been playing a higher standard all season, at times yes but not all season. Remember they've beat us well twice

 

[clint van damme]

I think weve been top for about 150 days .. imagine finishing in the playoffs now

I have been, every 5 minutes!

 

[Gint11]

Feel like it’s added a bit of pressure on us. Need sheff u to turn up today

 

[David O'Day]

I wouldn't say we have been playing a higher standard all season, at times yes but not all season. Remember they've beat us well twice

Yet we are ahead of them in the league

 

[SBT]

Hence their incentive to throw the kitchen sink at it.

If they do go up then they're looking at another season in the PL with a squad that's too good for the Championship and woefully ill-equipped for the top flight.

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

Charlton just had a perfectly good goal ruled out, ref should be ashamed

 

[CCFCBat]

Feel like it’s added a bit of pressure on us. Need sheff u to turn up today

No it hasn't

 

[Skybluekyle]

All I can say is, come on you Blades!

 

[Grendel]

So will we whoever we sign

 

[Seymour_East]

I have been, every 5 minutes!

Have faith and put it out to the universe, we will get the auto…one game at a time!

 

[CCFCBat]

Do you think we were playing a higher standard than ipswich over Christmas ?

 

[SBT]

So will we whoever we sign

The more signings we make now, the more difficult it becomes to overhaul the squad in the summer to reach the required standard.

 

[Evo1883]

So will we whoever we sign

Id like to think wed be looking at what sunderland have done this season more than what buying the best of englands 2nd and 3rd tiers ipswich do
