No Mve and no long throw being the main reason.

Hope it’s not Sakamoto playing narrow, it negates his best traits.

Feel for Simms, especially if Wright is in his half arsed mode.

Hoping Woolf proves Wrexham was a one off…..

Not a massive fan of the selection or potential tactics/formation, but still confident we’ll win. Nice to have a decent bench too.

Amy views on that starting Preston 11? I see they have made some changes.

KKH masterclass incoming against his old team.

He’s going to score a worldie, do the double somersault and throw the bird at the Sir Tom Finney stand

It’s still a decent team with options on the bench, get through tonight with a draw at least and we should be more or less full strength again Saturday,

It depends whether people acknowledge it is the system that leaves us open or try to pin the blame on individual players.

It would be quite easy to shore up the defence tactically, but the trade off would be we create less chances.

I think because we have been so clinical in taking our chances, is the reason why Frank isn't too concerned yet about leaking some goals.

It’s both. You need good defenders to play this system but we don’t have good defenders.

Big nights for Wolfy and KKH, but said the same against Wrexham and both struggled . Hopefully tonight they both perform and we get something out of tonight.
Click to expand...

Though that was in a 4.
Hopefully they look a bit more solid in a 5

Preston play in the most 'never relegated/never promoted' style too. Must be fucking pointless following them.

The fact that Torp isn't starting presumably means he hasn't recovered fully. That's a shame because he is definitely one of those players we miss.

We will also miss MVE both generally and also specifically for his long throws.

Never met or seen a Preston fan. I imagine all their fans are AI generated or something.

Right, just in from work and can’t be arsed to read all these posts…can someone give me the lowdown please?
where the hell is MVE? Why is EMC dropped? why are we going 3 at the back? (Ok that’s probably the same answer). How unfit is Torp? Anything else I’ve missed?

MVE was killed in a pyrotechnic incident at the training ground.

EMC shared a happy meal with Torp on the coach down yesterday and they are both still feeling the effects.

Playing a back four with Bobby Thomas starting up front alongside Wright.

Perhaps it’s just that he’s a professional athlete, and that as a club we take the advice of professional health and fitness scientists to decide whether a player needs to not start a midweek game after suddenly playing lots of 90 mins in a row. Just a hunch.
