Liam Kelly is only 33. Everyone goes on like he’s 60. And to be fair I thought he was older than he is.

The last 2 games he started were the last 2 games we won, we haven't won a game since. So yes, its a pity he's not fit more often.

I think the whole reason there is a club captain/team captain separation is to acknowledge that a senior player like Kelly has a leadership role to play even though he’s not likely to feature in most games.

I like that MR's last couple of post-match insights can be distilled down to...

"FORWARD!" and "SHOOT!"

Maybe the people that shout that sh*t at games have a Hotline to the dugout.

2800 is a very disappointing following imo.

This is the first chance we've had to take a serious number of fans to an away match since Blackburn over 2 years ago. There's a lot of Cov fans desperate to claim we have massive away support and sell out everywhere but we have even sold half an end. The likes of Leicester, Sunderland, Wednesday etc will sell the end out.

Good opportunity for people moaning to get points too...

2800 plus is a tremendous effort and above our season average so far

Considering the poor league performance and terrible record at Deepdale it’s impressive

Kelly is the least of our problems. He seems to be a positive influence, was the best player in some of the matches he played this season and is not in the squad to be a regular starter anyway. Our central midfield of Sheaf, Eccles and Kelly is fine. No it's not as good as when Hamer was here but it has been the strongest area of the team so far.

Our problems are a defence that is constantly changing and individually not as strong as last season; wing backs and attacking midfielders who aren't creating enough and strikers who aren't scoring or holding onto the ball.

OK partially sighted. I love Cal but his final ball has always been his biggest frustration. Won’t judge yet as he’s clearly nowhere near fit.

I'm actually quite optimistic about tomorrow ( waits for the shower of abuse ) . If we could just covert some of our chances games would pan out differently. MR has spoken about moving the ball more quickly . All of us travelling tomorrow should just make one hell of a noise and get behind the team as we have been. PUSB

Any pubs recommendations for tomorrow. Visiting family in Southport so sneaking off for the afternoon and catching the bus to Preston.

I agree. I am optimistic too and all these heavy defeat predictions, I do find very helpful. The more the underdog we are, the more I think we will do okay.

I think we may just surprise everyone tomorrow. We have hit the bar more than any other club in the division and missed lots of very good chances.

Some of those have to go in at some point. Why not tomorrow and sometimes being the underdog can help motivate a team.

We could easily have got points out of the last three games.

I am quietly confident, but please do keep predicting 3 and 4 nil defeats etc.
