MATCHWATCH : Preston North End (a)

[McDermolenko]

Derby will beat Peterborough in all likelihood today meaning that if we lose the gap will be closed to 2 points heading into midweek (not to mention Derby’s 20-something GD advantage).

Got to pick something up!

[PATRIQT]

3-1 Preston today.

Pauno still wont be sacked come Monday evening.

Armageddon level protests for the next home game.

Derby are strong at home. Nailed on home win. I do think they will be only two points behind us this evening and may well overtake us in midweek.

The only thing we will pick up is the ball, from the back of our net. I hope I am wrong, but this team doesn't feel me with much confidence. .

Then you are part of the problem. Would you consider supporting a different club?

[Snowflake Royal]

Drinkwater might not be perfect but surely has to play, he is the only one in midfield who can pass the ball forward quickly - Laurent dithers, runs forward and gets dispossessed every bloody time.

Drinkwater is far and away the worst performing midfielder. SHould have sent him back weeks ago.

It is baffling that he still has his supporters out there. His legs have gone, his attitude stinks and he contributes nothing. Not sure why anyone can see a positive with him.

Interesting* to see how Drinkwater reacts today, after having a group of fans chanting "you're a pcunt" at him on Wednesday night.

I mean he might as well go with it now, be the pantomime villain. He should do the universally agreed hand gesture for "Loads of money".

[Royals and Racers]

Hoilett starts in place of Meite.

[Millsy]

Who is "hoylay"? New signing?

[Hound]

No Laurent. Clarke dropped altogether. Barker on the bench

[NathStPaul]

McIntyre must be fit by now? If so I'm not sure what it is Tom Holmes has done to keep his place. Definitely needs a rest.

Can only do him good. He'll really want to make sure we don't suffer relegation.

[Hound]

Not quite the side I’d have picked but it’s basically the first team with some good options on the bench

Obviously we’ll play shit and the options were on the bench won’t appear before the 85th minute, if at all, though

Agree but I think Holmes has been a bit better in the last 2. And suppose we did just keep a clean sheet - though still conceded a ton of shots on goal

[Brogue]

We will win today.
