The one team we don't struggle against locally, generally, is Preston. They are usually full of goals, and we usually win. Having said that, I'm sure we will strangle the life out of this one.

Preston North End vs. Burnley FC

I like positive IFs. Why would we draw our next game? We are VIOLATING teams at the moment.
As Hiney gave a scenario where our GD was better, I was just pointing out that it would need to be even better than that.
Another way of saying it (which you may prefer) would be:
If we both then won our next game by the same margin, we would be behind them at the end on GD if we finished level on points.

Lancashire grudge match. PNE are not going to roll over...oh no no no.
Burnley, on the other hand, will be shitting like big black Alsatians I'd say. Nerves could be t' twelfth man thar know.

A good point well made. What say you clarets.

The keyword was 'generally.' Now, if I'd said 'always', you would have made a great point.

On his last warning
How many times have you actually played them in the last 5 years?
edit: The answer is twice.
Good move. Give them a cheer from all of us. Big fan of Preston, me - I can name 3 of their likely starting 11, me - that's how big a fan of theirs I am. *Nods^

So that would be Tom Finney , Mark Lawrenson and David Nugent ?

Who have Preston got that could deck Barton? I suppose Grayson not giving him the ball back could cause a ruckus.

In the last 5 seasons? 4 times. 3 in the league, 1 in the league cup. We won 3 of those 4 - the loss being the most recent.
In the defeat at Turf Moor Preston beat us at our own game, soaked up the pressure and hit us on the break. The weather in that game was something special and certainly didn't help us, but it was the same for both teams so that's no excuse.

Burnley will win this comfortably.
Its Boro i think who are more likely to implode if anyone

True, but in reality, a draw doesn't do much good to us anyway. A Preston win on the other hand would be absolutely fantastic news.
I have to say I'm almost resigned to our only chance of promotion beating Boro, and that is assuming we are still within 3 points of them. I think they'll beat Ipswich and Birmingham, which means we will have to beat Charlton and Derby. Obviously if Boro do drop points in either of their games then we can afford to lose or draw to Derby and still have a chance.

A draw is still good, because we brushed aside QPR everyone is taking that as a gimme for Burnley, they are incredibly tenacious but are winning or drawing by small margins what if that small margin went against them and they drew against QPR? Suddenly we could be 4 points ahead going into the final match.

Dyche is a nasty, bitter little man. I sat in the directors box for our away game at Burnley this year, and that is only 4 rows of seats behind the home team dug out. Dyche was constantly, and I mean constantly bitching at the fourth official, he hardly coached his team at all, seriously. His language was Anglo Saxon, his players are frightened of him, his behaviour is not that of a coach who is reacting to what's happening on the pitch, orchestrating tactical changes, encouraging and driving on his team. I have never witnessed a more disgusting display from a manager, he is filth.
Contrast that with Our Chris.
Footnote. And when Bobby bundled the ball home in the first minute, we did check away directors box etiquette with Bloom and Barber who were sat directly behind us, and they were going pwoppa 100% mental. So we did too.
