Thought we were fairly poor right across the pitch. Don’t really think anyone comes off with much credit.Thomas played well and got another assist.
Wright missed 2 very good chances and let their player score.
Rudoni tries too much all of the time, wants 10 touches when he could lay it off.
Sakamoto anonymous.
Yeah, but we win it 1-0 we would be saying we battered them and it could have been more. Preston defended well. Like Preston do.I think we were pants tbh
Considering the possession we wasn't great, I have no feckin idea why Wright was marking Kitchings man for their goal also no idea why Lampard took Wright off why didn't he put them both upfront although Wright has missed a few good chances tonightI think we were pants tbh
Why 6 for Kitching?Rushworth 5 - why can't he kick a ball?

That will bother Lampard most too. He’ll have wanted us to keep going for more goals to avoid exactly what happened.Thomas was decent, Dasilva was ok. Forwards poor; Wright's movement was good first half, but he had a lot of very presentable chances.
Essentially we didn't win that because they thought it was in the bag at 1-0, though. That's what I'm most annoyed about.

I thought Hayden did better defensively on the right than Dasilva did on the left and their goal come down Dasilvas side.Rushworth 6
Couple of great saves and much improved bowling distribution. However, messed around and kicked out for the throw that led to the cross that led to their goal. Silly.
KKH 5
Just not impressed by him. TF we cashed in on Sheaf not MVE.
Thomas 7
Good long throw but in reality he needs to be on the end of them.
Woolfenden 6
Meh
Kitching 7
Tidy enough
JDS 7
Did a job. Can’t shoot.
Eccles 6
Hope he’s ok
Grimes 6
Get the ball in quicker
Rudoni 7
Got everywhere and gets an extra bit for the “goal”
Tats 7
Menace
Wright 7
Bit lethargic but did some great stuff.
Rudoni wanting 15 touches and a pirouette every time he gets the ball is jarring. The two centre backs played more penetrative balls than any of the midfielders.Wright had the big negative moments around him but he was relatively sharp after a long absence.
Saka was quiet.
Rudoni has me worried whether he slows up the high tempo game we've been playing without him.
Most the rest were decent.
We have very much been a high tempo, high confidence team. That seems to be drifting and we will have a real problem if heads drop.
Over to you Frank
hopefully just sharpnessRudoni wanting 15 touches and a pirouette every time he gets the ball is jarring. The two centre backs played more penetrative balls than any of the midfielders.
I can only assume Dasilva was really tired, because he just didn't track back with their player running down the wing. Just seemed to let him go.I thought Hayden did better defensively on the right than Dasilva did on the left and their goal come down Dasilvas side.
That’s just the way he plays. It’s not tiredness.I can only assume Dasilva was really tired, because he just didn't track back with their player running down the wing. Just seemed to let him go.
No closing down at all.
He was at it pre injuryhopefully just sharpness
Forgetting his defensive contribution for their goal of course. 4 probably is harsh but he needs to have put away one of the three chances he had in the first half. Anything else is just not good enough I'm afraid.Wright missed a couple of sitters and I'm sure Ellis scres that one at the back post, but the other opportunities were only crested by his pace and movement, getting around and ahead of defenders. He 'won' the red card when hed have arguably scored and tucked away the easy chance EMC created that ended up offside. No way is that a 4 performance as some have marked. It's simply reactionary to not a winning and a striker not scoring.
