It's Preston, so let's forget about the not picking up any points again and can you please start the thread for the following game after, thanks.Discuss the Coventry City - Preston North End FC match, tactics and predictions
I think back to the 4-2-3-1 (3-2-5). Let’s try and dominate the space and control the game through their low block. Will need some creative balls from midfield so hope Torp is fit alongside Grimes.

If he's banned then Riis comes in, who literally terrorises us every time.Have seen Holmes is out for them. Hoping Osmajic gets his ban before the game but if not then hope we boo the shit out of him every time he touches the ball.
4 at the back making a come back?Early murmurings are Allen or Torp in for Eccles, Bidwell and EMC from the start
They seem to be out of their early season shite and back into proper grindy Preston mode. Don't think its going to be pretty.It’s only 12 years since our last win at home against Preston, barely even a hoodoo at this point. Do think we can win this but they’ve had some good results against playoff contenders recently and the losses haven’t been huge either. Will be a 1-0 or 2-1 either way I reckon.
Could we see a midfield of grimes, Allen and Torp, with Rudoni at rw?
Yep exactly that. Id go Allen for Eccles regardless, bring Torp on if fit.Early murmurings are Allen or Torp in for Eccles, Bidwell and EMC from the start
Sixth in last 15 form table. Only 3 points less than us I think.They seem to be out of their early season shite and back into proper grindy Preston mode. Don't think its going to be pretty.

Any noise if sheaf will make bench @Saddlebrains
That was one of the most depressing first halves of football I've ever seen. 3-0 down and our best player at the time with a suspected broken back.Just looked at our record against Preston and it almost defies belief - think we’ve only ever beaten them 3 times out of 30 odd games - unbelievable!
Think it was against Preston that Tats broke his back last season too - it’s about time we battered this lot but I will take a scrappy 1-0 win this time around
Not to mention all the people pissing about with the phone lights. Jesus what a shite game that wasThat was one of the most depressing first halves of football I've ever seen. 3-0 down and our best player at the time with a suspected broken back.
Due back this week was hope, and he shouldn't need weeks to be ready like HW. Be great come that Stoke game if we can have sheaf/Grimes working together.Reckon that will be a late decision if it happens. Has he even been confirmed back in training yet? I’d expect a tweet when he is.
Only problem is, Preston are usually very physical and Allen can struggle in games like these, where he can be simply outmuscled.I hope not, Eccles was useless on Saturday, it only got better when Allen came on and got closer to Bannan, but the bloke still ran the game for them. We need Allen’s closing down in midfield to allow Grimes to work his magic with forward passes.
Excited. Only Monday.Early murmurings are Allen or Torp in for Eccles, Bidwell and EMC from the start
