Can’t make this as in Ireland with work.
Does anyone know a pub in Cork which will have it on? Chelsea & Man City both playing in the Champions League at the same time so I think I might struggle.
Try Costigans or the Old Oak - probably worth getting in touch before to see if they'll put it on though.

I'm very uneasy with the general feeling we've already won this game
It's PRESTON
Agree but I don't think Preston are very confident.

Most of them have gone as 1st goalscorer Simms and one for Ruddoni 😂

They've not done so well recently. Last game Oxford beat them 3-1 away. It's one of them games we should win easily but it's still the Championship where anything can happen 🙄

If Oxford can get 3 we should score a few. Not taking anything for granted but this is one of our easiest remaining games left.

Agree with that bit going 4.1 home win.

As I type, the predictions are as follows.

Cov 22
Draw 1
PNE 0.

This is going to be a different type of game again. I think they will be parking the bus as recent results will suggest that. As long as the crowd stay patient I think we will sneak it by the odd goal. 1-0.

Another physical game , against a team in seemingly free fall & their supporters expecting a thumping.
Let’s just make one last big statement over these , as we won’t be playing them for a good while .

Give the woolshed a call they might put it on in one of the screens for you good sports bar but it might be picture no sound as the champions league commentary would be on more than likely pusb

This is a game I worry about. Always struggle against Preston, and with teams around us continuing to win, this is a must win, especially with difficult game on Saturday

Another gnarly, uninspiring tough championship game. The type which can define seasons and where we can end up being frustrated and disappointed if we dont win the individual battles first.

Despite their supporters pessimism, as most teams do, they will want to make it as difficult as possible for the league leaders on their home ground.

Expect it to be similar type of game to Stoke - hoping we edge a nervy 1-0 win.

Start as we did against Stoke but get the 2nd goal whilst we are on top and we should be in for a comfortable evening. Selection wise I wouldn't risk Frank, so start the same team (apart from Kitch for Latts) and look to make changes early with Saturday in mind.

I think you play Onyeka in a game like this one. They are bastards and need some hard midfielders to stop them. If his injury is ok of course. I think Eccles deserves to keep his place, he plays well every time but doesn't get a good run often. Torp and BTA aren't showing early season form at the moment. The front 3 have to stay in and back 4 picks itself.

I'm nervous before all games these days but I feel more confident about this one than most recent games. Their form is poor and ours is good, but like any solid run it has to stop and some point.

That said we could just tonk them and get a proper result for the first time for a few months, 4-1

Trickier than people think this

Preston recently drew away at Ipswich and Swansea (who both have great home records) and conceded an injury-time equalizer in both (a dodgy pen at Ipswich of course)

Going to be one of those where if we can break down the deep block early we could hammer them (like Boro did). If not, it will be a slog

That's a question that CWR should be ASKING.
Dovin was unregistered to accommodate Onyeka into the 25 man squad

There is an option to re-add him back in should he be fit and we have an injury crisis in goal but it's safe to assume he won't be seen in a matchday squad for the rest of the season

Can't lie I will never feel confident going into any game against PNE :ROFLMAO:

Their performance at Boro the other week was horrific mind you, I think they gifted them every goal they scored

I will be panicking until the final whistle unless we are 3 or 4 nil up. Glad there's only 10 games to go as I don't think my old heart can take much more

Esse in for Tats, they’re physical and that’s all they have going for them. They’ll set up to take 0-0, they’ll time waste from 20 minutes if they haven’t conceded and break up the game every chance they can

We need an early goal or it’ll be Oxford or Stoke in the second half again I fear.

Read an article that stated Lati's ban is for 3 games. Don't necessarily trust the accuracy. Has it been confirmed that it is only one game, as I thought?
