A useless fact for you, Prestatyn Town immediately precede PNE in the scrolling table of football teams; of greater significance is tomorrows 17:30 K.O betwixt the Wendies v The Sheep, COYR's I say.
Why, because if the useless Schteve/Granny Grabber partnership fail, we're in the bottom three.
So come on Derby, I'll look for the mouth wash later...
Proper teams play on a Saturday which brings us back neatly to our visit to Deepdale. Another useless fact is that this lot were originally a cricket club, just like Derby County..
Preston share a little bit of football history with ourselves, they went a whole season without defeat in 1888/89 and earnt the accolade 'The Invincibles' long before Arsenal stole it.
Back to the future then and lets concentrate on Saturday; Alex Neal was pleased with the tenacity of his team for finding a way to break down the Coventry defence by using the ball over the top, after trying and failing to play through them. Preston ran out 2-0 winners. Before that they ran out winners against Derby & Bristol. Barnsley beat them 2-1 on the 15th December. They can be unpredictable, win three nil one week and lose by the same margin the next.
Neil hopes to welcome back top scorer Scot Sinclair to the squad after his one match absence.
They are looking upwards to wards the top six; so this should be a open game with maybe Mighten and Mbe Soh brought back into the Forest starting eleven to exploit the space?

Very nervy at the end but that's understandable. Great win and hopefully now with 5 unbeaten we will see the belief start to grow. At times today you could see them trying to play and move the ball a bit faster. Would still like to see 2 up front more often.

Well done Reds

Question now is how much does CH value Knockaert, tar he has been pretty decent over the last couple of games, but I wouldn’t sell Worrall to free up funds, especially as Knockaert is going to be North of £5M I would think, if we can extend his loan, that would be good business, but don’t break the bank for him.

No I agree Dave, not exactly blown us away with his performances. We’ll be in big trouble if we sell Worrall. Would like to see if Freeman gets back into side as we still lack a cutting edge from midfield and Lolley hasn’t been at it so far.

Neil is a whinging Noobhead, "if it's a penalty"!

Spot on RFB, reminds me of Simon Grayson another grade one whiner.

He definitely isn't worth 5m, but having him back on loan would be good.
I thought the whole team (and Yates especially), moved the ball forward far better than they have done all season.
An improvement again.
Nine of the upcoming eleven league games are winnable. Time to get some points on the board so we can play with a bit of freedom.
