Oh borrocks

Preston score

Goncalo Ramos has pulled a Cinci and split his head for Bnefica

Basically our first ten outfielders now on the pitch

Neves, Guedes and Neto on for Adama, Hwang and Donk

Hardly convincing since we scored our second.

Yeah lost our way a bit second half

Preston miss.

Going to be a late equaliser and Preston win on pens

That’s the spirit nut 👍

Not a good second half that by the sound of it.

Another game that does Bruno no favours at all. Next three games could spell the end of him if we don't pull it together.

Comms reckons tonight won't have helped confidence.

skin of teeth in the end

It's a win. Two goals. Hopefully starts to give the players more confidence.

Could easily lose a game against Championship opposition in this competition. Take the positives.

At the end of the day, all of our best players, except Sa, struggled to put away Preston. Not good.

That's the spirit cinci. Don't think you'll ever be satisfied

Eh? What have i said?

Comms unhappy. Shouldn't i say that?

Bruno under pressure? Shouldn't i say that?

It’s alright Cinci, Wolfie is happy for us to scrape through against a Champ club that we should be slaughtering.
I’m not happy and no supporter should be.

Why are we so Jekyll and Hyde?

Dominant frst half and a very slack second half.

To be fair, Fulham went out to Crawley, Leicester scraped through against Stockport on penalties, Everton scraped through by one goal against Fleetwood.

Everyone seems to be making out like Preston should have been a sure thing. Just take the positives that we scored 2, should have been 3-0 up after a dominant half and managed to hold out even though we were poor in the second half.

Seems like the penalty incident was the turning point. Sounded like a great half altogether bar that.

These games are so hard to gauge really, very rarely a good performance comes from them.

Lots to like about the game tonight which showed we have an increased level of quality all over the pitch. Collins, Nunes and Guedes adding to what we already have in Kilman, Semedo, Ait Nouri, Neves, Moutinho and Neto and some positive signs from Jiminez and Traore. I read we had 65% possession but it felt more than that.

Bit of a shock when Preston got a goal back and they had a few moments in the second half but it would have been a travesty if they had equalised.

One or two sublime moments from Nunes who is clearly going to be a star. Still needing the goals to turn superiority into easy wins but get that and we’ll soon be in the right direction

Comms were very excited about Nunes a couple of times. Looking forward to him settling in.

Jordao finally confirmed to Santa Clara. Loan

I'm glad you mentioned those other matches tamwolf. Unfortunately there are some who think that we have easy matches. No games are easy these days

Well I thought for a few minutes there the penny had dropped, a strong run towards the box from Kilman, incisive ball in to RAN, quick ball across the box, Jimenez on the end of it, bang 1-0. Direct play from Adama and a first time shot, top corner 2-0. Yes more of that please lads. Lively run in to the box by Hwang, defender all over him, pen. Jimenez takes the ball, guaranteed third, but no hands it over to Hwang and that's when the air went out of the balloon and we are left with another flat, wet, floppy performance.

Second half we revert to the same old side to side passing across the box, around the box but too rarely in to the box. So predictable, so lacking in creativity. And this with our strongest team pretty much. Against Preston.

Nunes looked pure class until he had seven shades knocked out of him by a PNE defender late in the first half and never quite looked the same after. Looking forward to seeing him play again though.

Does Wolfie ever post without sniping at other posters?
