I think a draw at a very difficult Deepdale with their physical style of play and looking desperate to get a win at home is a good result.
Can't help thinking though that we are leaking too many goals too easily. Wood and the Edge both good but there is a dynamic missing somewhere? Perhaps the Edge is more suited to less physical games and Cameron could be untilised instead for this type of game?
That apart you felt we could have won it but it did not happen. A plus is Clarke scoring again and that's a good sign though I did not hear much from him as the game progressed?
Overall it sounded like a decent point and we have to be happy with that and others around us, apart from Bournemouth at home dropped points. We will do better against less physical sides for sure and there won't be any games any tougher for us than going to Deepdale or Bramel Lane.
That's a poor result today. You have 14 efforts on target away from home and you should be winning the game.
Preston are a poor side who have been battered at home recently. No need to panic and not the end of the world, but good result? Not if we are serious about winning promotion it isn't.
Any point away from home is a good point.
Any point away from home is a good point.
We are not scoring enough but its goals conceded that's costing us
Any point away from home is a good point.
What about the last 5? 7 points - 1.4 points per game - not good enough.We are still on course for the top 6.
3 games ago I worked out we need to be averaging around 2 points a game.
After todays draw we are averaging 2.33 points a game.
Still on course for the top 6.
Keep the faith!
2nd highest scorers in the league would suggest different!
Agreed, we have missed a lot of chances over the last 5 gamesI meant recently mate
And more in terms of goals to chances ratio
I agree stats can be manipulated.
However taking the last 15 games is a damn good measure of how a team are going.
1 Bournemouth 14 9 4 1 5 1 26 12 +14 31 2.21
2 Brentford 13 8 4 1 6 2 20 10 +10 28 2.15
3 Doncaster Rovers 14 9 2 3 6 2 23 13 +10 29 2.07
4 Swindon Town 12 7 3 2 7 3 26 5 +21 24 2.00
5 Coventry City 15 9 3 3 2 2 34 16 +18 30 2.00
6 M K Dons 11 6 2 3 4 0 20 15 +5 20 1.82
We are averaging 2 points a game over the last 15.
I think another striker will be coming in as well so onwards and upwards.
Other than sheff utd that's the top 6, meaning we're not really gaining on them.
And so we are gaining on half the top six Tranmere Sheff UTD and MK Dons
We are not scoring enough but its goals conceded that's costing us
