What a night. It just feels inevitable at this point. What a feeling, after all we’ve gone through to be on the verge of the premier league.

For me it’s felt inevitable since we come back from a goal down at Sheffield.

The most routine win for a while! We are on the verge!! Win against saints would be nice and you’d have to admit it would be nearly done at that point

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Not had a beer in years, but cracking one open for that. About as perfect a night as it gets, we wanted it much more and really showed our quality.

Sip it slowly until you get used to it. Don't want a headache in the morning

 

[Nick]

Like a training session that. Proof (if it were needed) that we're the best team in this league. The table says it, all the stats say it, time to believe it. Am I still worried? Yep, but the fat lady has just put her corset on.

Any pics?

 

[Rodders1]

Just got home - Preston terrible - or did we make them look terrible?

Either way roll on Saturday, we need the crowd up, with players firing as the Saints are very good at the mo and on a promotion charge. We need to be on it.

 

[Ashdown]

We played some super sexy football tonight, especially in that first half. The players really wanted it, putting the foot in first on so many occasions. We made Preston look awful but it’s not done yet. We definitely need the same again on Saturday. Frank is rotating superbly now. Shame we haven’t got Rudoni but with the same application we can win again to make it lucky 7 !

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

We could have have a few more levels to go but did a pro job today.

When we had that really good run earlier in the season it started off with Rudoni being injured .

 

[David O'Day]

Someone said they weren't awful, they are and after the 3rd that was a training game.

 

[Calista]

Markelo looked decent

And bloody quick

 

[wingy]

can i ask a favour - if simms misses a sitter please don’t write him off - give him the rest of the game to score

Got one come back off the bar for a BTA to bury it from two yard's.

 

[Mr.Chilled]

Nailed on. 27 points left I know but come on, it’s in the stars. It’s done

Chill out

 

[Skyblue Bangkok]

It was a very good save by their keeper tipping Simms effort onto the bar and BTA forcing in the rebound

 

[wingy]

Changing ends again

We must have won the toss of coin again, that's about 4-5 game's now, favourite , it's a hoodoo or voodoo since the tanks has come in.

 

[wingy]

Yes Tats. Love a deflection!

2 on the trottfor him isn't it?

 

[robbiethemole]

I'd like to see Esse on and Sakamato moved inside for BTA, to have some fun in the #10 role.

Opta odds of the title = 93.72%

Looking forward to the Sheaf, Doyle and Hyam guard of honour

They've all contributed to the journey to get there.

 

[wingy]

PNE have been a thorn in our side ever since PL relegation.
Hopefully tonight is the last time we play them for a while. Let’s finally thump them

We could have, I was a touch dissapointed with the score should have been the old five, but thinking of Saturday I guess is the bigger picture.

 

[skybluecam]

How has that gone down as sakamoto’s goal btw? Surely an OG?

You can't believe anything nowadays

 

[long way home]

Im not sure how the Preston midfielders got round those two park benches Tank and Grimes kept sitting on throughout the 90 mins.... I swear at 1 point Grimes got his pipe and slippers out to put on while they stumbled looking down at the shock of touching the round thing that rolled around.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

KKH looked decent in his cameo

 

[David O'Day]

KKH looked decent in his cameo

looked evenn faster than milan

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

balcony looks horrific

People got moved to block B because there was an event on in the Premier Lounge.

 

[quinn1971]

Hate to say it but told you so, all those panicking before the game relax, we’ve got the most goals scored in the whole of England and conceded the 2nd least in the championship, were the best team in the league, we’re going up. Stop being negative and enjoy every game

 

[quinn1971]

Should be a comfortable 3 0 win to us tonight they have 1 win in there last 11 games. Just need to go after them from the off. Think lamps will bring in a few changes so a few of the boys are fresher for Saturday....roll on 650 tonight to see teamsheet

Yes mate, it’s not being cocky, it’s just saying it as it is, we’re going up

 

[quinn1971]

Someones due a battering, congratulations preston, it’s you,

It was always on the cards, start to believe everyone, it’s happening we’re absolute class

 

[Bernie Rhodes Nose]

We must have won the toss of coin again, that's about 4-5 game's now, favourite , it's a hoodoo or voodoo since the tanks has come in.

Thank the Tank!

 

[wingy]

He's a clever lad. Quick bit of calculus in his head, no problems

Very knowledgeable of the tangent of formulea.

 

[Paxman II]

KKH looked decent in his cameo

He was preston's player of the season last year! Funny old game.

 

[Torquay Sky Blue]

Grimes has found his spark. Brilliant tonight

 

[wingy]

Crowd were amazing tonight, loved all the singing,quite a sound wave developed,the Corner and South stand made a Great effort and we joined in situated in the north stand, really impressed!
