Disappointed but we move on.

Always says something when the goalie is the MOM. Bristol next at home. Good time to get back to winning ways and always feel our strength is our home form

That's worst result of the season in my opinion. Rudoni was rubbish, we miss BTA massively. Our best form has been without Rudoni hasn't it?

The Eccles bashing is getting a bit annoying. Every week there is someone on the match thread waiting to hit 'post reply' on some negative comment the first moment he does something they don't like.

He's a decent player who we should all do a bit better to support.

Who was bashing him? I merely stated that Torp is a better player which he is

The ref blaming is embarassing. He wasn’t the best but they never are. He literally sent their captain off in the first half.

He didn’t really have much choice there tbh.

Even before his injury he hasnt hit the heights of the hype this season at all. Not sure if its the shoulder? He's been nowhere near last seasons levels at any point so far this season.

Was he "good"?

He had no choice to send their player off.

He killed the game at every opportunity and wasn't arsed about the player injuring Eccles, didn't even speak to him when it was an obvious yellow.

Very poor. Time for Lampard and the coaches to earn there money.

We're definitely not at a point of panic yet but there's some worrying signs. We can't keep a clean sheet to save our lives at the moment and to a certain extent poor finishing from the opposition has let us off.

Very quickly gone from being 10 points ahead and being one win away from a 13 point lead to it being cut to 5 points. The signs are there, but trust in Lampard and let's get back on track on Saturday.

Lampard I think is more than earning his money

Really hope MVE has a sickness bug and is available to start on Saturday, damaging if he is out injured. Not impressed with Kesler-Hayden as yet.

A good away point against a team in the PO places, and at a ground we dont do well at, but ultimately only got themselves to blame for not getting all 3.

Piss poor decision making at crucial times...
And defensively switched off, again at a crucial time.

Fair play to Heckingbottom. Proactive switch to go 2 up top and it paid off for them.

If you look objectively their keeper was MOM, we had 19 shots, the assistant for once got offsides correct against us and we switched off the one time they really pushed us.

One of those days
Click to expand...
Also being objective against 10 men we never really looked like scoring. It took a massive stroke of luck to get one.

Squad is too small. We’re changing every week because of various injuries and half the team are either knackered or not match fit cos they’re coming back from injury.

We switched off from their throw. Rudoni and jds both let their RB get 2 yards of them before taking him seriously.

Yes Wright was weak but those two fell for the long throw fake, it went short and they assumed he was gonna punt it on but he took it down the line

Thats where were threw it away

Btw Wright missing that header is absolutely criminal

We switched off for a moment, and a speculative stretched boot brought an equaliser.
Overall with a slightly disjointed team again and some odd tactics tbh, for the second time in a row we were dominant, and always looked like winners. But Wright missed two glorious opportunities. Got to be scoring those. We went for it, but there just seems something missing. 10 men for 2/3rds of the game, offering next to nothing and we failed get the 3 points against them. I am disappointed but this is more on the manager than the players tonight. I think Frank got this one wrong.
Positives: Torp seems OK. Rudoni gaining match fitness, same for Saka. It all points to Saturday, we must play our normal formation with Milan back hopefully or it could a confidence killer. However a point is a point and many would have accepted that before kick off even though I didn't.

I am absolutely seething, that was the game to finally end the Deepdale hoodoo. But, we didn't play too badly and equaliser apart, the second half was quite enjoyable.

I didn’t particularly enjoy it after their equaliser but a fair assessment.

frustrating, you can’t not be taking a chance like that, 2 points could be huge end of the season, but 12 point gap to 3rd. next 2 home games very winnable,

I think given the genuine bedwetting going on here, if you want to be obviously satirical you're going to have to lay it on a bit thicker than that.

But at 1-0, you cant blame the pitch for the catalogue of errors leading to an equaliser from a poor team down to 10 men!

What more did you want him to do? They had 10 men for a whole half, make our fan base look like complete twats when you start crying about the referee

Heat of the moment, etc., etc., but I genuinely don't think EMC is all that. He's powerful and athletic, but if he can't beat a defender for pace, he seems lost as to what to do. I think he's a weak link.

He was so poor in that second half; just dithered in front of the full back and passed inside.
Click to expand...

He is still adjusting to this level. But often looks like a League One player. Yes he has pace when he can chase a ball into space. But from a standing start with the ball at his feet he has none. No trick to beat the fullback. Too one footed has to come insde all the time whether it is the right option or not.

He doesn’t get some of the fouls he deserves, because his feet seem to get stuck under himself and his upper body gets ahead of him. He looks off balance and looks like he is going down before there is any contact.

Not convinced he is Championship quality let alone potential Premier League quality.

Yeah tend to agree. We just looked devoid of confidence - or maybe it was fatigue - but just ponderous and slow with the ball.

Well one poster says we got 1 point from a win, a loss and a draw so anything is possible in this league?
