Highlandwhite Matchday Thread ================================================
EARLY Kick off 12pm. Live on Sky Sports and Talksport.
Welcome to Matchday 28 and a chance for retribution for possibly our worst performance of the season against dirty Preston
Team news
LEEDS
Struijk out, Gnonto extremely doubtful, Byram fit
PRESTON
Apparently have a bug spread amongst the squad and Team won't be announced until very last moment.
Preston have lost 6 of their last 9 away games, whilst we are unbeaten at home and have a score to settle after the boxing day game. Expect their defender Osmajic will receive a friendly reception after his over the top play acting in getting Meslier sent off.
They caught us in a bad day last time, won't happen again. 2.1 Leeds
Over to you all for pre match thoughts and predictions.
Can we go Live once again please Admins

Morning all, hope you have all recovered from that one. Sounds like a real defibrillator special. Four wins on the bounce is good, right? Now, let’s roast some canaries.

Horrible game to watch was that and I turned my back on the penalty. Just couldn’t watch it. Mind you if Paddy had taken it I would have gone out of the stadium😏
Preston got exactly what they deserved in the end - sod all!
Met a couple of lads from Iceland and in the Peacock. Their first game at ER. I only got talking to them because one was taking some snuff. I’ve not seen that since my dad was alive in the 70’s. Evidently it’s popular over there.
They saw a win at least!

The thing is as horrible as Preston were today they have to play Southampton at their place and also Ipswich so hopefully they can frustrate them too and take points off them which will benefit us in the long run.

Preston wont show half the fight and desire against Saints as they did against us. Teams raise there game against us, that's an advantage Saints have over us.
As for the game. Got away with it, very fortunate that they had a player silly enough to stick an arm out with the ball bouncing around the box. Fortunately football beat thugball in the end and we keep ourselves in the hunt for 2nd. Need to beat Norwich Wed night.

Preston are the dirtiest team I have seen in a long time! Thank goodness the ref gave us the penalty - I was convinced he was definitely anti-Leeds for most of the game. All’s well in the end. Now to roast the canaries. MOT.

agree, beating Norridge would up the pressure and close the gap at the top - essential!

no shame in wanting paddy in the team, he has had sooooooo much bad luck with silly injuries, most have stupidly written him off.
we must play him, keep him, he is quality real quality

Play him yes, keep him no. Would offload him and Geldhart and go and get Whittaker before Brentford do.

whittaker is a must
