LCFC 2-2 Preston, post-match thread

A must win but turned into ANOTHER draw! Lucky it wasn't a defeat though I guess and that the results pretty much went for us elsewhere, barring Blackburn. Hopefully if they're safe by the final day though then they might feel like fielding a weakened side at their place against us - albeit we could be down by then of course at this rate....

How does that work? Twenty yards out running in the direction of the corner flag and without having the ball under control? 

 

Was irritated by the ref letting their players repeatedly maul Fatawu, but unless there's a new definition of "goal scoring chance" (or another rule I'm not aware of?) I can't see how the Daka foul is a red card. 

 

where exactly do you think the corner flag is, because he's running in the direction of goal, direct course with the keeper before he gets taken out. Breaks to Skipp but there's no attempt by the defender to challenge for the ball, it's entirely to stop Daka getting 1v1

It was absolutely this, clear red.

See where we are Monday night.  With us being prone to a **** up and Portsmouth / Oxford playing each other the table could look very bleak or much better.

Us and Oxford winning would make it VERY interesting... for a neutral. I'm not a neutral. No effing thank you.

We did not deserve to win that football match. 

We were the better team. They had a couple of chances where they could have scored, but so did we. The Iversen foot save from Daka; the Fatawu volley; the Winks shot from outside the box; the Fatawu shot from outside the box; the Lascelles volley; the Okoli attempt from a corner et al. We controlled possession throughout.

All of the above does not mean we ‘deserved to win’.

 

We were the home side, should be expected to have more of the ball and more shots. 
 

Once we trailed in the game we did not create enough clear opportunities to ‘deserve’ to win the game as a home side.

Draw just about keeps you saying "well along as we win on Monday"...

 

Couldn't watch the game and relied on updates from the match thread. Lots of shots for a change, but just simply not good enough. 

 

 

 

 

I think we needed seven points min from Preston, Shef Weds and Swansea. So the next two are must wins now for me.

Absolutely shite at the back again. **** me every single goal we've seemingly let in this season has been soft as **** or moronic defending. 

 

We're not winning enough games, not winning when it's must win. Obviously better to take a point than lose but now we have to win the next two at a minimum or that's it for me.

 

I ****ing hate our players they're so spineless and thick it's a joke. Thought Fatawu wasn't good but it doesn't help that he's constantly on his own out there due to Ricardo coming in side. 

 

Ref ruined the second half

Not sure how other results went our way. Portsmouth got a draw away to Norwich which is a much tougher game than Preston at home. The others either drew or won as well

I don’t think they have played together before. On this performance they will struggle in Div 1

They'll be even worse in Div 3

The crowd at 5000* at home next season in League One is going to be something 

 

*official attendance 29,500 as reported by Tesla/KPFC

 

I would say 25-27 thousand ish in reality today

 

28 shots should of been enough to win a game but sadly not to be

I don't know what Matt Elliott and Co are smoking but their post match analysis is quite ridiculous. If you can't beat a poor Preston side then that says it all. Annoys me just say it as it is - rubbish

We did have more of the ball and more shots. I'm not saying we were great, or indeed good enough, but we were better than them.

Iversen, didn't you just know it. Just as you know Chris Woods always scores, I knew everything would stick. The Daka foot save and the Fatawu volley 🤷‍♂️

Straight at him. Any competent keeper would save them
