My fear tonight was they would sit back all night and get a 0-0 or grab one on the break for the win and it would inspire teams to park the bus against us and make our home games much more difficult. 
 

The fact we put 3 past them will put teams off from doing that a bit and they’ll see so far the only team to beat us came at us which will play into our hands a bit more. 
 

Very happy.

First game I've been to this season and was happy with that. I live near Preston and work with a few Preston fans who I've made it clear to that they are easily the worst team we've played this season. The time wasting from minute one was hideous to watch and the ref did nothing to stop it. Said at the game that them tactics often come back to bite you on the arse and so it proved as our class shone through 2nd half. The most pleasing part is we seem to be improving each game and even in games like today when it can be frustrating playing against 11 behind the ball, we were patient and Enzo tweaked things at ht to help us break them down. Really enjoyable watching us at the moment and it'll be exciting to see how we continue to improve and develop under Enzo.

Dewsbury-Hall made it 3-0 in the 90th minute on the rebound after Woodman had parried Iheanacho's shot. Iheanacho had started the move himself with a ball to fellow sub Marc Albrighton.

 

way to underplay that goal. what a  twerp.

That second half was f***ing brilliant. After the first half i was worried a little, and felt the ref had largely lost control of things too. Then when their keeper resorted to time wasting almost immediately i knew something was up. KDH pounced and they legs turned to jelly. Last goal was brilliant from Nacho. We've not seen anything like that from him so far this season. Long may it continue.

 

Just brilliant all round.

That second half sheeeesh everyone was class. Winks is absolutely unbelievable. We seriously took the piss and there was nothing that they could do. You could tell all of our players were on the same wavelength and loving it. Seeing a team this well coached just shows up the shambles of last season. Hopefully batter stoke now.

Thought that Winks looked a bit ragged at times tonight. Probably understandable with the amount of games he's been playing and with a suspension hanging over him. 

That’s weird I thought he was fantastic. A couple of missed placed passes which I guess for him is bad.

Their forum is quite an entertaining read, they sound very bitter that we're even in the same division as them, like it's not fair on them.

 

Some of them even suggesting that Ipswich will be the tougher test for them because they're more attacking and score more goals. While I agree that Ipswich's style is a bit quicker than ours, they neglect to mention the fact that both ourselves and Ipswich have scored the same amount of goals this season, the difference between us is that we're more solid at the back. 

 

1st half tonight was a bit meh, if we're being honest. I've been a huge advocate of remaining patient, but switching Ndidi and KDH round didn't make sense to me, it stunted us going forward and I had a horrible feeling at half time they were gonna nick that game. But as always, we plugged away and got our reward. 

 

I'm looking forward to playing Ipswich as so far in this early part they look like real contenders and the 2 contrasting styles should make for a great game. 

 

Still 36 games, that's almost an entire premier league season, would be nice to sign off for the international break with a win on Saturday  this time on

Is it me or have recent games of ours been no different to previous seasons in terms of how injury time is totted up? I've not seen much additional time added on to our games, even the Blackburn game was less than I thought given the lengthy injuries to a few players 2nd half.

 

The Hull game was a disgrace. Minor gripe given we keep winning but something to watch out for.

I burst a blood vessel in my neck when the 3 minutes went up against Hull.

 

They seem to have lowered it a bit in certain Prem games but then others still have the usual 10/11. 

 

Like every other rule, it's as consistent as my shits after a Memsaab

I’m gonna say it now. We will have enough points for automatic promotion by game number 27 this season. 

The count has started....

 

15 wins from 36 games = 45+27= 72pts

That's 45 pts from 36 games, bottom half form. That would probably get us a play-off place.

 

20 wins from 36 games = 60+27=87pts

60 pts from 36 games, that would probably be enough for a top-2 spot.

 

Every game we win makes it look a little bit easier!

I was wondering if tonight, the ref made a judgement call. There definately should have been more than 4 but seeing as how most of that came from PNE when it was still tied up, it shouldn't then go on to benefit them later in the game.

The 1st half was that entertaining I started to count the clock every time the ball dead at the start of the 2nd half, by 55 minutes Preston had taken nearly 3 minutes for goals kicks and throw ins, add to that was it 9 subs and 3 goals, I have absolutely no idea how they only got 4 minutes

We're gonna have 4 or 5 players hitting double figures for goals and maybe even assists. Really can't have any complaints with how we've gone about this season so far, it's been top class. Dewsbury-Hall will hopefully continue to show the naysayers up and prove why he's so highly rated outside of our fanbase!
