Feel it will be the other way around. Southampton are on a good run of form.I reckon we'll draw tonight and then beat Soton.
'Fess up @Otis . Did you a shed load of cheap rail tickets for the play off final when we had that dodgy run in December, hoping to make a nice profit?Not to me.
I am.sure it will to many, but I would not at all be surprised.
It's certainly got that banana skin type feel to it hasn't it. It all points to a victory and quite an easy one at that, but it's just the sort of game where we could well end up frustrated, or slip up completely.It would be just like us to lose tonight and then beat Southampton. Ive got a horrible feeling that Preston will just sit back all game frustrating us as we try to break them down and its either going to be a 0-0 or a last minute loss by a goal from their only attack of the game. Hope Im wrong
Think we'll have too much for PNE. They've got nothing to play for so 3 points again.It would be just like us to lose tonight and then beat Southampton.

That makes me more nervous - if that's possibleThink we'll have too much for PNE. They've got nothing to play for so 3 points again.
Carry the positive momentum on to Saturday and a monster of a game.
We'll be even more up for that than we were for Boro, knowing that another win pretty much makes us uncatchable.
A massive 4 days coming up.
Hopefully he's as bad as the keeper Stoke had last nightTravelling down with a PNE mate … he reckons Iverson not ready to start and that the other goalie has picked up a knock so will be the third choice, Walton, who had a mare at Boro a few weeks back …
Vipotnik out allegedlyGot us down for four points from the next three think we either win this and draw on Saturday or visa versa. Think the two after this are two of the three hardest games we’ve got left tbh.
Cautious optimismThink we'll have too much for PNE. They've got nothing to play for so 3 points again.

Fancy emc for a massive gameI'm usually pretty cautious but I can't see anything else than home win tonight. We're brilliant at home, and since we've recovered from the wobble (which now in hindsight doesn't look so bad) I really think we'll have too much for them, especially at home.

EMC got pulled off after the red card against BCFC, also a chance to give Saka a rest before Saturday...
Edit: I probably wouldn't start Onyeka if he's not 100%, we'll need him more on Saturday.
yeah me too. Feel like it's been coming for a few games. Think we will need it, too. I think we'll win but it will be a frustrating match unless we get an early goalFancy emc for a massive game
What time did he come on on Sat? He played well and looked like he was moving fine to be fair. Definitely helped shore it up when it was 10v11 still I think?I’m minded to think Frank the Tank is fine, don’t think there was a huge need to bring him on on Saturday otherwise …

Of course. And its the Championship, most games are settled by the odd goal etc.How many times have Preston been shocking and still shocked us?
They are a good defensive side and capable of making it very difficult for us. They are also good at boxing you in, despite their league position. Their goals F and A have draws written all over it, which is probably why they are where they are.
Point is not really any good to PNE, anything other than a win and they can kiss goodbye to any outside chance of the play offsIt would be just like us to lose tonight and then beat Southampton.

Maybe they can get that lad in that played for Spurs on an emergency loanHopefully he's as bad as the keeper Stoke had last night
They’re not making the play offsPoint is not really any good to PNE, anything other than a win and they can kiss goodbye to any outside chance of the play offs
Agree.any kind of decent performance from us and we win
Yeah, true, but that's not to say it will still stop them defending deep.and hoping to catch us with a sucker punch on the break.Point is not really any good to PNE, anything other than a win and they can kiss goodbye to any outside chance of the play offs

And then he got subbed off straight after
Awful? If they win they are 5pts off playoffs.
In line with Iversen being out....they’re 8 points off the play offs and in 15th and haven’t won for 5 games,
We do, but we can still struggle against well organized sides who sit deep against us.We pose them far more problems tho
Of course. And its the Championship, most games are settled by the odd goal etc.
However, we are massive odds on favourites to win and rightly so.
