KaKa Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Mitro looks so mobile now. The first goal comes from a great run in behind from him. Lovely spot and pass from Ritchie, which the defender couldn't quite block. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordiesteve710 Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 How was the performance then, anyone there? First half sounded fairly s**** based on SSN, didn't hear anything else. I was there. First half was shocking. We basically took our chances. We battled hard and showed we can win ugly, which is great. At game:sat with Preston fans: as above Same as every other away game I've seen this season (I wasn't at qpr). Safety first, gamble that they'll make a mistake before we do. 9 times out of 10 he'll be right. First half in particular we struggled to adapt to not having Gayles pace up front and couldn't get out of our half at times. Second half we controlled the tempo a bit better, but it was tight at the end. PNE will be pushing for the playoffs I reckon. The ref was basically out of his depth throughout. Gave them everything throughout most of the match bit apparently has then denied them a blatant pen in the 10th minute of the 6 minutes injury time he played. Ritchies booking was the result of an absolute swan-dive from their centre back, yet again making a mockery of the idea this league would be "too physical" for us!!

Gallowgate Toon Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 They seem a tad delusional, tbh. They'd rather have Ben Pearson than Shelvey 'on current form'. Strange folk. Edit: And now the XI today would've beaten our team in midweek. Yeah, that's how football works Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovejoy Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 They're one of the better teams we've played. They were unlucky not to get something out of it today tbf. The referee's in this league are shite mind, we were on the better end of some poor decisions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackandWhite Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 How long can poor refereeing go on without the FA acting on it. I have refereed myself, I know it can be tough, but jesus not that tough. All you've to do is keep fit and make sure you get 8 hours sleep the night before your game so you're alert and focused and your ability to recognise fouls isnt all over the place like these English League jokers. If you work hard and do everything you can to stay alert you'll have a good game and there will be no problems. These English League refs can't do that.

lovejoy Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Darlow was very good today BTW, he's brave as f***. He does all the less glamorous aspects of goalkeeping extremely well, apart from distribution. He'll only get better and better too. Yeah, spot on. He got clattered s couple of times today but didn't stop coming, he was very good all game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Looking at the stats, we played a lot more long balls than usual. I know Mitro was playing but was it a case of they made us play that way? Seems strange because we've been knocking it around really nicely for a few weeks now and Mitro is probably better at linking play with his feet than his head (not that he's bad at that).

Tiresias Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 I'm guessing Rafa wanted to avoid their set pieces and make sure ball did not stay near our box Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like were off the boil and Preston played really well, doubt we were instructed to keep hoofing it. Still, only saw the 2nd half but I thought we looked the more dangerous tbh. Until They scored anyway. Poor first half though from what I hear. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Yedlin and Ritchie don't cover themselves in glory for their goal Nah, it's a good ball by their bloke to the guy on the overlap. Lascelles shouldn't be letting his man get in front of him like that imo. Ritchie looks absolutely fucked by that point and kinda leaves Yedlin in a tough position.

Pitch is different to ours, set up for their long ball game and throws. Good that we can adapt and also win ugly as well as stylish plus having Rafa's ability to set up bespoke teams puts us in a very good place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 It should never have been 6 minutes added on, never mind 40 minutes or whatever extra the ref c*** put on. The ref gave them hope with that added on time while we got nervous. It's natural that it happens when there's suddenly alot more time left than expected. The ref can go fuck himself.

Tsunami Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 Just seen the "blatant" penalty. I've seen them given and probably more often not given.

Hanshithispantz Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 It was a stone-waller and the mighty PNE showed those prima donna foreign cunts how the British game is played. Their valiant 2-1 defeat at home has shook the very foundations of world football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
