Preston North End v Leeds Utd Match Thread

[SG90]

SG has every reason to moan after what was an abysmal display Swannie, errors all over the park apart from our two CB's & possibly Kamara, who did their best to keep PNE at bay

It was a shocker!

Unfortunately some are happy with us constantly throwing away points.

[Overman]

Rubbish

Predictable.

Tactically easy for Preston.

Sending off wasn't helpful but the die was already cast.

We've seen this game multiple times before.

Farke is a bang average Championship manager and its time this was acknowledged.

Be careful there, you'll have the anti-moaning lynch mob on your case. Now reframe it.

[Scoobychief]

Ipswich laughing their socks off they only need to draw to get further wmaway from us. No pressure on them what so ever. Lord Farquaad they'll be coming for you soon

[Cjay]

Surprise surprise Cjay criticising out Manager again?

I'm consistent.

Don't rate Farke never did.

He is exactly as feared.

[whiteswan]

Okay, so all you wouid be managers on here....what would you have done. Go on, tell me.

[The Subhuman]

Team selection was a 10
In game tactical changes a 5
Substitutions a 3 ...

I do think Farke is overly obsessed with inverted everything ..

[Johnthewhite]

None of us wish to see our beloved Leeds United get beat but talk about over reaction. DF is doing the best he can with the players he has, imo he is doing a decent job with the squad at his disposal, have you ever thought he would love to play tactically a different way but he simply does not have the players to do it ?

[Cjay]

Just enjoy your team SG. I get that you're frustrated but we can't win em all.

We should be winning more than we have Swannie.

We are meant to be targeting top two, we aren't even getting that in a normal season.

Do you enjoy the football? Forget the result but the actual style?

At last!

[60sUnited]

We got a helping hand with a dodgy penalty....but then let the player who had ripped us all game, cut inside with little challenge and hit the winner.....why oh why wasn't he doubled up on ! Ah well, very disappointing but I'd given up on automatic promotion weeks ago so let's hope we can maintain our play off position.

[DDB220]

Agree,add Bamford too

Too early to assess Joseph to be fair. Although I do not think he is ready for first team football at this level. But if he is going to be he has to play at some point.

I still maintain Kamara and Amos are too similar. Having two deep midfielders who offer very little going forwards places the emphasis on the front 4. I am not sure Archie changes this a great deal in truth.
Piroe isn’t a play maker and is to far detached from the other two as they are so deep.

Its that pink kit!

[1964white]

Gray should have been subbed at half-time after his inability to defend Miller, who did him seven or eight times.

Did Archie do anything right today, I felt for the lad. FFS Farke protect our young boy.

In the end, it was inevitable Gray would allow Miller in again at the death.

[Overman]

She does Only Fans, but the old stuff is still good

You Dirty Old Man!

I'll be on it later.

[White Riot]

Changing tactics to nullify a team with obvious advantages in quality is normal?

Its up to our manager in this case to counter this.

Farke hasn't a clue how.

This game has been seen 4,5,6 time this season and he never has any answer.

Pack the midfield, crowd our Summerville and Rutter, target Gray on the counter.

It's a common tactic

I've got to say you're correct Cjay

We can only excuse so many bad days at the office.

It raises doubts in DF.

The lack of a left back is having an impact. But it's not like we're seeing opposition coaches pulling a stroke of genius to frustrate and beat us

[Cjay]

Okay, so all you wouid be managers on here....what would you have done. Go on, tell me.

Not the same thing again and again and again which multiple teams have been able to stop?

It is and the best teams suffer against it right around the world.
It is common because it works.


Add in the fact that home to Leeds is the game in the Championship calender and we have a massive task.on our hands.

You Dirty Old Man!

That's what she said

[Cjay]

It's vile isn't it

[SG90]

Okay, so all you wouid be managers on here....what would you have done. Go on, tell me.

Said already:
Rest the midfield for a game or two, who've been knackered for weeks
Bring on Gnonto and Byram at HT to change it up
Gray was struggling with Millar and go no help from James all game - both were the obvious HT change
Play Piroe up front and not in a packed midfield where he offers nothing
Bring Joffy off the bench instead of wasting spots on the likes of Aylkng, Firpo, Poveda, Cooper and Bamford
Give an u23 player a chance from the bench instead
