So it Madividi turn tonight, enjoy the win rather than looking for someone to put down.

Preston set up like a league 2 team in the cup.

No chance

VAR gets worse.......

Just do goal line and the auto offside they used for the world cup.

Both him and Akgun look to be decent additions.

True, the best thing to say is we have 16 games by the end of the year (91 days)

If we take from here point per game wise; 2 = 98 points 1.8 = 90 points 1.7 = 87 points 1.6 = 83 points 1.5 = 80 points (rounding to the nearest whole number) The average point total for 3rd in the last nine years is 85, with no 3rd place team getting more than 89. So if we average above 1.7 from here, we should be promoted. So, something like 17 wins, 12 Draws, and 8 loses. Or 20 wins, 4 Draws and 13 losses.

Enzo has shown a willingness to rotate players, I'd be surprised to see RP play against PNE and Stoke.

I agree we haven't been fluent and tended to play in patches where we play excellent football. However, I think we have to be mindful of the following factors; In reality, we have a pretty inexperienced manager and coaching team implementing a new system and style of play. Massive squad turnover, 13 senior players out, 9 in, that's 22 personal changes. We have a younger, more inexperienced squad; the average of our most regular starting eleven last season was 27 compared to 25 this season. A pre-season that was poorly planned. We are seen as the big fish, so teams raise their game against us. You also have very little time on the training ground to work on things when you are playing 3 games a week. I also think we play within ourselves, almost like Enzo know it going to be a grinding season so we look to win without expending too much effort. I think we have improved since the opening week of the season, with better structure, and becoming more fluent.

Not sure why people are surprised with injuries it's going to be a tough season. 3 games a week is hard going that, which is why you need a lot of rotation.

Looks to be enjoying his football again....

Great start, scoring goals. Still think we could have done with another defender!

Nice too see us score some goals. Important to win today.

Playing 3 games a week is a killer.

Ice cold from Nacho

Bugger

Not helped by KDH reluctance to give him the ball.

Sloppy again.

I'd get Mcateer on to help control the midfield.

Midfield 3 have been poor toady

Ndidi with a good assist too

Settled a little. Goal was a shock to the system.

Silly got caught 2 and did it again.

Crazy you could tell it was a mile on wasn't even close... Didn't even need lines.
