Preston Match Thread

[Buzzell]

Front four picks itself. Good to see Winks starting. Unfortunately we haven’t got much quality in the middle so Soumare starts again.

[FoxesFourLife]

No Ricardo thought he would have made the bench

[Verumex]

Elsewhere in a parallel universe: 

 

"Skipp? Again?! I'm going off Marti. I'd rather Soumare start over that plonker."

[surrifox]

One of the midfield molluscs has been binned which is better than none I suppose . 

[Jonezy]

Soumare again...??

 

Can't we just play Kasey or Wout in the middle, at least they can run.

[Dahnsouff]

Why are people still moaning cos Soumare starts?

Alternatives are Skipp or Page, one is just as bad, one needs easing in.  

 

Full expect that to change before the window closes thankfully.

Do what?

[Stuntman_Mike]

I'm hoping for a quicker tempo today. 

 

Sunday seemed more like last season than what we've been told to expect under Marti.

[Haywood_6]

Hope Okoli has a better game. Was all over the place last time

[HybridFox]

Iversen shutout incoming

Mavididi, bilal, Fatawu can't ask for more than that. 

Ayew can score Daka can't. 

Winks is better than skip. 

Ricardo injured so soumare in the pivot. 

Faes benched young okoli starts. 

Thomas over kristiansen 

Justin vesty. 

 

Lets be honest it's the best of a bad lot and not much to argue with. 

 

The youth to play a part off the bench.

Man of the match…. Daniel Iversen  

He's going to play a blinder, isn't he!

Because despite being a pair of dipsticks both Hamza and Skipp are better options than Booby.

 

Unless he finds serious form and tracks back people are always gonna moan at Soumare.

That’s the strongest side we have right now. 

Correction - just spotted it’s Okoli not Faes. Faes would get. The nod from me. However unpopular that opinion is! 😂

[Finnegan]

Thank **** Winks got in ahead of one of those two. I can understand everyone moaning about Soumare starting but you could just edit all of those posts to be complaining about Skipp if he'd done it the other way around.

 

Don't think it's right to throw Page in yet, especially not an away game against a very physical side.

 

Actually surprised Faes didn't get in ahead of Okoli. Thought Okoli was poor last week and Faes not.

[FoxesFourLife]

I play Choudhury over Soumare at lest he would put a shift in

A CM former captain of another side would be ideal for us. It is a shame we probably won’t get the likes of Brownhill, even though I don’t think he is prem level and his goal numbers are not sustainable. 

Tom Cairney from Fulham would be a good shout

Bouba is naff, he needs bombing out the starting XI, but not for others who are every bit as unreliable/poor.

Otherwise we just keep swapping between one-legged men in blind hope.

Maybe Page, but its a big ask for the youngster. Skipp, Hamza are not serious options and are every bit as poor as Bouba.

We desperately need Midfield reinforcements.

[Spudulike]

Preston fans would laugh if they read some of this stuff criticising our team. We are better in all departments. The big difference is attitude, focus and grit.

[Stuntman_Mike]

I only know Iversen and the racist up top.

Too similar to Winks so unless Winks is off we’d be better off getting someone to partner Winks

Theres absolutely no doubt in my mind that despite being quite poor footballers both Skipp and Hamza the plonker should be starting ahead of Booby. 

Soumare has been better than Skipp in both games this season and he's better on the ball and passer than Choudhury. 

 

Even with Bouba we should be dominating possession against Preston. 

[Fox42]

Osmajic is the type of player that we historically struggle to deal with. Need to be able to contain him.

Yeah that's pretty good. Should be too good for Preston. 

Wheres the goals coming from? Genuine question
