On paper, it's a decent team. All about attitude. 

Unfortunately they don't play on paper and they are pretty crap on grass

No one is disagreeing in terms of needing someone else and that all 3 are pants.

 

BUT as a two Winks should be alongside either Skipp or Hamza.

 

Booby offers very little, he isn’t particularly good on the ball, he’s an average passer at best..he’s slow and has a poor work rate. Hes also not a ball-winner.

 

Skipp and Hamza have high work rates and can win the ball, ideal for playing ALONGSIDE Winks. 

Fair, think I have a misconception that Bouba is a unit and taking him out we lose something.

Another manager picking Soumare.  Let’s see if this one is as useless as the others by letting him play exactly the same way and ignoring the mistakes. I’m sure Winks can bypass Soumare and get the ball to Bilal quickly. 
 

Hopefully the fullbacks will attempt to create overlaps and create space for the wingers by drawing players away instead of standing around watching them be double teamed.

We will see a better Soumare today assuming Winks is the 6 and Bouba is the 8.

 

hes not disciplined enough to play as a 6 but can be a powerhouse further forward. Really hope he has a good game today

McAteer winner

And their attitude stinks

Different coming here than the last Deepdale trip. 

 

Hopefully same result. Hoping for some positives

I would rather have Hamza there to be honest at least he puts a tackle in.

 

Maybe we could try a different formation instead of 4231 that every manager we have seems insistent on.

Yeah, a badly timed one, in the box!

[Brooksy]

What's the likelihood of a river for this?

[Lambert09]

We need a new 8 desperately.  Everyone wants to complain about soumare, but who else have we got?!

If Brownhill comes in, then I imagine we see him, Winks and Page rotate. Soumare and Skipp are utterly honking. 

In an ideal world, Brownhill comes in and we get some sort of fee for Soumare.

 

Skipp's going nowhere so hopefully he can find a bit of form and settle- he's been absolutely dreadful so far this season but there has to be a player in there at this level. He looked decent when he first joined (seems a very long time ago now).

 

Don't want to be throwing Page in at the deep end and asking too much of him.

Justin captain. Can’t be close to leaving 

Should be a ban for not putting the line up at the start of the thread.

Yeah I think cameos from off the bench are fine for now. You're probably right, Brownhill, Winks and then one of Soumare/Skipp rotating with Page as backup. 

 

Just can't see anyone paying for Soumare unfortunately.

Fair enough I just think he’s a useless lump and needs binning😂🤷‍♂️

[Swarles Barkley]

Hopefully we do that thing where we play slow sloppy football in the first half which always seems to work

[Suzie the Fox]

Fatawu with a brace.. 2-0 win

[lcfcbluearmy]

We want Rudkin out 

[LVFox]

3-1

 

Fatawu, Bilal and Mavididi

[KP Fox]

If our defenders concentrate then we will thrash them!

Get real.

Preston away is always a nasty place to go. Gonna be a hard watch but a scrappy 1-0 will do.

They play like they are constipated

Wheres the goals coming from? Genuine question 

4 goals in 2 games suggests scoring isn't an issue.
