When Soumare is physical he’s a load.

In the last two games he’s shown he can be good enough. If he played like this last season then whilst he wouldn’t be first team, no one would be on his back. 
 

He’s been in the main team for the last two matches whereas Youri hasn’t. Will be interesting to see if that’s the case come match day one as Youri was MOTM earlier for sure. Brentford would be a good tester game for him though, especially as they no longer have Eriksen.

Poor this second half.

[sishades]

Soumare groping evans boob there. Nice.

[Arkie Bennett]

Ched Evans guilty there.

We want to think about avoiding these sort of shitey teams in pre-season if they're just going to keep trying to boot our players in the air when it becomes apparent how much better we are

[Vacamion]

Did Perez come on?

 

One can't really tell...

Still think he may be sold but if he stays it looks like he could have an impact this season. Real positives are going forward but he needs to sharpen up without the ball.

[An Sionnach]

Still a feeling of vulnerability in defense. Preston have opened us up too much.

What would you do about iverson? Send him out on loan again? Sell? Keep as backup? Although we have ward... I think he could be backup to schmeichel its just what do u do with ward? Also is ward injured? Wasn't in either team..

[lcfcbluearmy]

We played very well first half and think we got too confer table. PNE stepped up second half and we are still stuck in 2nd gear. 

 

Barnes played well though

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Preston Bell End more like 

 

😎

[lgfualol]

Derby game was much more fun than this

[JimmyC74]

Barnes could have had 3 today

[Phenom]

Come on, Harvey

[StriderHiryu]

Barnes could have 3 goals in this game. 
 

2-1 doesn’t tell the story of this game at all.

Lovely pass from Perez to Barnes 

[coolhandfox]

Could have had 5 or 6 with better finishing

In my opinion we should be in the market for a new number one anyway but I’d keep Iversen.

[CloudFox]

Really good first half, pretty poor second half. At least we're getting into the right areas, and PNE did defend pretty well to stop Harvey getting a hat-trick.

[Paninistickers]

Loving the obscure  use of the Howard's Way outro (always there) on the tannoy

Harvey Barnes seems to have added a bit of craft and guile to his reliance on speed. 

 

He was running the ball into a blind alley or hitting it into an opponent a lot.

 

It bodes well.

Wish they'd spend a week on finishing practice with Barnes

Sell Danny ward, keep iversen.

I think iversen is a good goalkeeper but lacks the footwork that modern football seems to require
