Preston North End Vs Brighton & Hove Albion ***Official Match Thread***

[Hampster Gull]

Grrr

 

[El Turi]

Good point. I think we would have been more likely to turn it into 3 if Lua Lua had been on the bench.

 

[TottonSeagull]

Good point. Preston sounded a horrible team to play. Nice win on Tuesday to come. No teams are going win all their remaining games!!!!

 

[Blackadder]

Preston are a decent side at home. Obviously would have liked to win but I am over it. Bring on Wednesday who lost at home to Rotherham today.


Those of you who now think we have blown the autos on the back of this result, have a word with yourself.

Is he good at shouting tactics then?

 

[SIMMO SAYS]

Well played Rotherham! (I predicted a draw for this though.)

Who fecking cares

 

[dangull]

with games running out, maybe 1 point not enough for autos. but play offs will be great fun

 

[Deleted member 2719]

another clean sheet.... nice habit that......it's all a balancing act.

Clean sheets are for losers, dirty sheets are for winners.

 

[wakeytom]

Couldn't care less. But Newcastle, Sunderland and Boro all in the Championship next season blows the north-east arrogance.

As much as I dislike Boro I think if you look at the league they appear to be clear in 2nd and game in hand over many! Would be surprised to see both Newcastle and Sunderland go down

 

[nwgull]

Take a look at the table.

If we win all our remaining homes and draw all aways, we'll have 87 points, which would be enough for 2nd (as in more points than the 3rd place team) in any of the last 12 seasons, and probably longer. Chuck in a couple of realistic away wins at places like MK, Charlton or Forrest, and we'd probably win the league.

Given Preston's recent form, particularly at home, it's a decent point.

It's irrelevant how others did as we need wins not draws...To go up you need to win away and we don't that often.

We have away games against Charlton and MK Dons coming up, they're away games you want to be looking to be winning, not away games against one of the form sides. Keep it tight and try to nick a goal, every point is key

 

[Seagull58]

Yep. Not a single side averages 2 points a game. We do that the rest of the season we'll go up.

We've got to catch up 4 or 5 points on 2 of the 3 above us. I don't think 2 points per game will do it. 86 won't be enough.

 

[GoldWithFalmer]

Clean sheets are for losers, dirty sheets are for winners.

masters have both

Sounded like it was filled with handbag incidents.

9 wins still needed from last 11 games. 91 points. Tough ask but not impossible.

PG

There hasn't be a season in a long time where 86 hasn't been enough. If we don't go up on 86 I'll eat my hat.

Play offs will not be fun, we have been in the top for to long this season to play in the lottery. If we had slowly moved into a play off position i would agree.

Play offs this season will be hell IMO.

I wouldn't eat mine

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Two points dropped. We have to beat teams not bore them to death.

Na...Rather we went all out for wins than a poyet style cautious approach.
If you want top two then you must go for it as boro and Burnley means another extra game more we need to win.
