Of our four attackers, Walker has the potential to be a consistent Championship scorer, not sure any of the others are quite good enough, which mitigates against two up front. (please don't cite Rotherham against this opinion - they were crap).
The guy peter on Saturday phoning to ask how fulham and Southampton got on tooNick from Birmingham has already booked his slot with Clive and Oggy after the game, even though he has no intention of watching the game.
Didnt know we had two Giles whos the other one?Think Preston play one up top too so see it being a tight game with not many goals - tbh can't see Robins tampering with five men in defence or goalie as let so few goals in recently.......I reckon MR will go unchanged for this one though would like to see Giles involved for O"Hare and two up top if possible during the game at some stage.
Wilson
Dabo Osti Fadz Hyam McCallum
Sheaf Hamer Allen
O'Hare
Godden
Subs: Camp, Pask, DaCosta, Giles, Shipley, Giles, Baka, Biamou, Bapaga.
Can see another 0-0 tbh which would be a good away point.
We're not likely to push to capitalise on it even if they areJust to chuck a wild joker into the affray. People are talking about draws, but they don't seem like a team which rests for a draw this season. I get the feeling just looking by the results, which could be vastly different to what's actually going on, on the pitch, that they may be a death-or-glory team.
If this is true then this could work to our advantage.
What do we know about the Preston setup which can prove me wrong?
Godden, Walker, Max & Baka. Only Walker has the potential to be a good Championship striker. None of them are right now, OK'ish at bestErm, have you got a moment to talk about the lord our saviour, Matthew Godden?
Giles won’t play and we won’t be 2 up frontI think I’d give Giles a go. Pull him off at half time if he’s having a bad game (and if that doesn’t work substitute him in the second half). I’d play two up front as well. Go at them first half and bring on subs to smother the game second, reverse our current tactics. We tire around the hour mark anyway so may as well make the most of it. Bring O’Hare and McCallum on around 60 min, for Max and Giles, Baka for Godden if we need to.

Its Christmas, let a man dream.Giles won’t play and we won’t be 2 up frontthe game will end 0-0
Man Ure used to have a saying : "We knew that we'd concede goals but we also knew that we'd score more than them". That philosophy may be needed sooner rather than later
Whilst not denying that we need to score more goals, it is a fact that we're getting better results now with a solid base than we did early season where we were more cavalier. Man Utd can say that when they've got top class attackers who will finish chancesCan't see this being different to any of the last 4 or 5 games. We'll huff and puff until Robins throws an extra striker on late in the game. Or God gets knackered and just gets replaced like for like. 0-0 or 1-0 Preston.
Its great that our defence has solidified so we're not conceding but the lack of attacking options is very worrying. Man Ure used to have a saying : "We knew that we'd concede goals but we also knew that we'd score more than them". That philosophy may be needed sooner rather than later.

I just think it’s about time we got a good result up there. They seem to have been our bogey team for years so fingers crossed we break the hoodoo and get three points .Attack wise were not the same quality as man u so same eleven for me max on last 25 minutes, hopefully a sneaky 1~0 win would be a result even with our horrendes record there. Godden to score.
M6 looks ok at the mo mind you if they are coming back after the match they’ll be very late getting homeIf the lads are travelling up today they could be in for a nightmare journey in the snow just heard they travel on radio and m6 sounds a nightmare
Or maybe use him further forward for the counter attacksI'd bring Giles in for McCallum.
