Match Thread Preston North End FC - Coventry City Match Thread - Tuesday 9th Dec (23 Viewers)

[Pezza]

When the fixtures come out I writ this game off as not going, Tuesday night and we never win there

Naturally, the way the season has gone I have been sucked in and I have decided to go

Will be my thirteenth visit to Deepdale, not a single win amongst the previous 12, surely our luck has to turn there at some point

Surely we have to win there eventually?
If it were the other way around I’d be saying something like “PNE win as they surely have to one day”, you know what I mean? haha

Can’t really afford to lose 2 on the bounce , a point at least and a win on Saturday and as you were,

A quick glance on other forums seems to suggest our bubble is burst, we're struggling with injuries and have a horrible run ahead.

Everyone is desperate for us to stumble.

Such is the burden of title favourites.

could Be 12 points clear of 3rd again after Tuesday,

That’s the spirit

Is there any reason why Manneh couldn't train with us before officially joining us? (assuming it is indeed happening)

Work permit?

Lucky 13 coming your way.

Hoping I will be amongst 4000 or more City fans tomorrow. Anyone have the number travelling ?

 

[Flying Fokker]

it's true though, why would you care what people on another teams forum say?

Thats what we were saying about Leeds and SUFC last season. So it’s nothing unexpected anyway.
When Leicester went up it was looking nailed on at this stage.

As far as the bubble bursting…we’re Coventry City. We will have Wembley again ole ole. We are going up.

 

[quinn1971]

That’s the spirit

We’ve only lost when we’ve had 3 or 4 missing, barring Asante we’ll be full strength going into Xmas 3 at home and the away games are very winnable, couple of new faces in january and Asante to come back, can only be positive,

Can’t really afford to lose 2 on the bounce

We can though! That's the reward for going 10 points clear.

Obviously we don't want to, but we can certainly afford it more than anyone in the league.

get what you mean but you Don’t want to be losing twice in a week, puts more pressure on the next game, think we draw at least tomorrow and a win Saturday,

Going off their performance on Saturday their no. 2 Valentin was a constant threat down their right, albeit he was up against an ageing McClean but Dasilva will need to be on his game.

Dobbin and Devine were very sharp and will cause us a few problems and the big lump up front was a danger from set pieces.

However, their defence was extremely pedestrian and didn’t look comfortable on the ball so with our press and pace we should have a lot of success.

Oh and their fans were shit. Literally didn’t hear one song until they equalised.

Quick chance to put things right, break a hoodoo and get back to winning ways with a 5K backing.

cmon lads

What killed us in both of the last two seasons was conceding too many goals. It's the same players now except Rushworth, so Yeah, it's old habits. It's not a hot take to say that conceding goals at the rate we are rn could kill our chances of being promoted.

Same players...different attitude. Makes all the difference on the pitch, off the pitch, and on the terraces. This is a winning team with a winning mentality who've come on leaps and bounds...last two seasons it was 'hope for the best'...this season I'm genuinely excited!

 

[mmttww]

...this season I'm genuinely excited!

Me too. Just not convinced we've nailed down being a consistent enough defensive unit to finish where we are.
