Preston goal on FL show (1 Viewer)

Just watched their goal (although at the game I wasn't sure how they got the chance) and it starts with a ridiculous backward header from (should be super-sub) Barton coupled with poor positioning from the Edge.

When did we last keep a clean sheet in the league at home?

ggrady · Dec 23, 2012

Barton started?

SussexSkyBlue · Dec 23, 2012

It was Jennings that did the backward header.....

It was a backwards header from Jennings

Helped you out a bit with that one

FL show said we only had the one shot all game. Is that true?

Racking my brains here to see if I can remember anything in the game. I'm sure they must mean 'on target.'

According to the BBC's own stats page we had 9 shots, 2 of which were on target.

Otis · Dec 23, 2012

Well, that's what I thought. Be been wracking my brains and i can hardly remember a shot at all. We had some near misses from good balls in, but did we even make their keeper make a single save?

tanchahal · Dec 23, 2012

Blair Adams had 2 shots, Elliott had a header, also I think McGoldrick had 3 or 4 shots.

Otis · Dec 23, 2012

Don't think we made the keeper make a save though did we. Do recall the Adams shots, but can't recall DMC doing much.

Don't think their keeper had much to do at all, all day.

stupot07 · Dec 23, 2012

Their keeper didn't make a save, apart from the goal the only other proper chance was Elliott's. Adams and Goldie's were all pot shots from outside the box and all badly hit.

Otis · Dec 23, 2012

Remember Adams' going well wide. Didn't Goldie have a couple of blocked shots?

You have to say that to create so few chances at home is unacceptable.

Fair enough...it was about 1am when I was watching it

Completely agree.

Played 12 won 3 is also unacceptable at home.

Certainly makes claim for title ambitions appear all a bit lame doesn't it.

Such a ffeffing shame to miss the opporotunity with the extra 2k. in the Stadium .

The energy ,desire ,focus and organisation vanished yesterday,and for possibly the second time only I felt the subs were late not enough or for the right personel ,however in MR I trust and fully expect a reaction.

Otis · Dec 23, 2012

The sub thing was odd. Christie clearly should have been subbed much earlier. I would have left Moussa on too and withdrawn Barton.

ROD may well have been a better option than Elliot as well.

And win streaks make 14th place finish predictions seem lame

The season ends in may , they don't give titles out in December

Don't be so naive, have some patience

sw88 · Dec 23, 2012

I was surprised MR opted to bring Elliott on considering hes been out the first team picture for so long. Also worried that he'd got the nod because "he'd been putting them away all week in training". Brought back memories of the "Cody hits hat trick in training" quote from our former manager....

covcity4life · Dec 23, 2012

Yeah we shouldn't reward those that do well in training

Crazy management

Not naive at all to say a title chance is not at all feasible. This from a side that has won just 3 games out of 12 at home?:thinking about:

covcity4life · Dec 23, 2012

And yet here we are in December with a chance, and after our firstb8 games!!!

You keep talking like seasons ended...thump Shrewsbury and our home form could change

Otis · Dec 23, 2012

Well I hope you're right. We thumped Walsall though didn't we and then came up badly short against Preston.

covcity4life · Dec 23, 2012

We drew

Calm down

With our win streak we are 13th place, with teams behind us with a game in hand.

14th place is closer as a prediction than play-offs or title winning with half a season gone.

Think we'll get close this season, about 8th, but next season, if we're still going, be looking for automatic promotion.

I agree, I am disappointed with the performance and draw but I don't think a draw is too bad of a result against Preston. They will give all teams in the division a tough game

It's not like the Scunthorpe and Portsmouth games where we just gifted the opposition the game or a goal because we weren't good enough, Preston worked hard for there point
