LCFC 2-2 Preston, post-match thread

[Bert]

Should’ve won. They’ve scored a goal that was 2mm away from not counting and a looping back post header. We were the better side by far. Have to take our chances. Officials were beyond woeful.

I agree, we deserved the win. Just weak defending let us down again

Don't think you can criticise their goals, when both ours came from Preston playing shit back passes

Deserving to win won't keep us up. We deserved to win against Watford, and maybe today, but we just don't and that is the issue. We're on the way down

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

 

Oh aye

True but we did create more in general play overall. Decent performance, frustrating sure but we have a chance if we can continue that

right, which way is the ball going? you can't seriously think that he's taking it in the direction of the corner flag just because he's come from further central to get on the ball.

I thought that the ref was decent in the first half, second half he lost his head and control of the game. Ah well, league 1 refs will be worse

That's a red card 

[adam]

Deserved to win FC. We weren't good enough as usual. We are going down.

[Muzzy_no7]

Enough of this ‘deserved to win’ b*ll*cks.

 

We did not do enough to win that game once we fell behind. 

[HP1]

100% red card. He bottled it as refs often do in this division.

[David Hankey]

Daka, our saviour?

If he had scored more often we would not be in the mess we are in 

[Trent Steel]

Utter w@nk

[Sunbury Fox]

Thought Preston were total, utter garbage (how are they so high in the table?) and we still couldn't win despite them gifting us 2 goals.

Sheep. 

Get some geriatric to walk up and down his garden to pay Winks’ wages and Joe Wicks in as fitness coach.

He did, as soon as he played the advantage it took away the red card situation, the ref then doubled down his mistake by making Daka go off for 30 seconds when he shouldn’t have needed to

Pretty sure Preston’s form since late October has been bottom 5.

 

EDIT: 10 pts from 14 games including today.

Daka took his goals well, everything else was average. We are on a downward spiral and confidence is gone. League one awaits….

We did deserve to win that football match (and that’s just from the eye test). The stats back it up..

You don't deserve to win a game of football if you give away two crap goals.

Watched the game, don’t need the stats. 
 

We took the lead and deservedly so. We then took our foot of the gas and allowed them silly goals. 
 

Second half we didn’t do enough to score the 3 required to win it. 
 

We deserved to win at Stoke, but not this one. 

Ok, well I think from watching the game, there was only one team that deserved to win and it wasn't Preston. I don't disagree that the taking our foot of the gas/gifting then goals undermines how much you deserve to win, certainly from an emotional perspective, but we were miles the better side still and we actually managed to sustain some intensity for 45 mins. Had we not done that, we'd be gone for sure. Probably still are because I think we all doubt the credentials of this team to operate under pressure

They had 9 touches in our penalty area.

We kept the wrong keeper too.
