I agree with most commentators on here. We have done wonderfully well to date and we have been very easy on the eye and praised by all pundits for the style of football we have played. My concern was not the match at Luton which can happen to any team. It was the reaction to the Preston result which worried me. In my own mind I felt that the outcome of that match would dictate whether we were serious promotion potential or mid table to 10th place.
It is no earthly use people saying ...well we always lose at Preston; onwards and upwards. Wrong! Last season Preston played Wycombe 3 times ( once in the FA cup) and Rotherham twice when they were arguably a better side than they are now. Preston's record was Played 5 Won 0 Drawn 1 Lost 4. Goal for 4 Goals against 10. This season they have played Blackpool and Hull City( 2 of the promoted sides and their record is Played 2 Won 0 Drawn 0 Lost 2. Goals for 1 Goals against 6. Their record against us since our return to the Championship is Played 3 Won 3 Goals for 5 Goals against 1.
Preston are a bang average side at best. Deepdale is not Anfield or Stamford Bridge
The reaction to Preston's visit to the Coventry Building Society Stadium should be come hell or high water they are leaving with no points and next season if we have any aspiration for promotion we WILL make it our business to win at Deepdale as a priority.
If Hull City can put 4 past them at Deepdale I am sure we are capable of winning there.
