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!

I must be deaf then because aside from the final 10 minutes I thought the atmosphere was woeful

The boys giving it to Rudi - he loves it

Thought we were superb first half, it was like going back to the first half of the season, we had them pinned back into their own half. They just couldn't get out at all, at one point our furthest player back was about 15 yards in their half. Job done by half time so no need to press like we did in the first half, seen the game out professionally and left Preston on scrapes.

I wish they would stop blurting out songs straight after the game has ended, it killed the atmosphere playing we'll live and die in these towns. The fans were creating an atmosphere so no need for it.

Grimes's penalty was superb. Clinical, well placed and to the opposite corner to the keeper's guess. One of the best I have seen. Why does he not take more?

Because Wright.

Yeah he gave him the eyes. He lined up that it was 100% the other way as well.

 

[Hobo]

Chill mate.

I am, almost horizontal. Check my posting history I never wet the bed and didn't think we had blown it when our form dipped. Because there were clear reasons for the dip - not just everyone losing form.

 

[SafeAsMilk]

Atmosphere was a bit flat at times … it was all just so easy, nothing from away end and had the taste of a training match between first team and the under 16s by the second half .. will be different Saturday and come Good Friday heavy knows what scenes we will inhabit by ten pm !!!

 

[Hobo]

Great performance all round. PNE didn't have much to offer up front but Woolfenden, Kitching and Rushworth were in commanding form.

Grimes and Onyeka bossed the game.

 

[Otis]

Never lost it imo

Nope. He just got crowded out a lot and was denied space. Sides got wise to our gameplay and it needed FTT to come in to allow Grimes that space again, where he had really flourished previously

Idiots!! I wish they would stop hugging him and putting pressure on his shoulder.

The atmosphere was surreal last night!! It was almost as if we were watching, but in a waking dream. It was like there’s was a game happening and it was noisy at times, but people were keeping an eye on Borolonas score too. Maybe only having 5/600 hardy Preston fans there didn’t help, from Block 28 I didn’t hear a single chant, but they really didn’t have anything to shout about!
Pretty sure Saturday will be a lot different.
