Matchday 23 - PressDownBothEnds v Forest - Official Matchday thread

[Flagman]

Due to technical problems I've got to do this thread.
Due to being naughty we've all got to watch this.

Deepdale, Sat Jan 2, 3pm.

Forest, unbeaten all year, haven't conceded all year, v Preston, without a point or goal all year.

It's a thriller in Preston...

[Ashley]

Happily take another draw here.

[BryanRoy]

Unbeaten in 4. Be positive boys.

[Carlos]

Is it even necessary for the team to travel to Preston or is a win more likely if they watch it from home?

[rockabilly]

Let's hope there's plenty of fog at Deepdale.

A fantastic win to celebrate Gary Brazils first game .

If anything it will be nice to see Reid on the sideline again.

[RealRed85]

If we can convince PNE to score for us, reckon we might sneak a draw

Another thrilling game on the cards with end to end stuff, best league in the world this is.

0-0 and we march on to the dizzy heights of 20th in the league.

Championship is top quality mate, Celtic and Rangers wouldn't get promoted etc...

I think I may have missed it but where has Harvey gone?

0-0 to the famous team to start the new year with renewed hope only for it to be dashed on our return to the city ground

Started to look in to their team and feels like nailed on PNE win (especially if you follow the current LTLF vogue of We Are Shit) but could depend on which Preston turns up - they've beaten Brentford 4-2, Bournemouth 3-2, smashed Middlesbrough and Reading 3-0 each, drawn with Norwich but been tonked by Luton, Watford and Blackburn Rovers, scraped past (a horribly resurgent) Derby drawn with Wycombe and lost to Millwall, Barnsley and Rotherham.

They will no doubt note our Achilles Heel (nod to GBG) of consistently conceding goals with some glee as they've been knocking them in and scored in 7 out of 8 games in December.

Topscorer Scott Sinclair has 7 bolstered by a healthy squad with several players having 3 or 2 apiece whereas we have Taylor with 4, who is now persona non gratia, it seems and the rest with a measly one apiece.

In the words of my sainted Nan, "it's lookin' a bit dark ova Bill's mothas our kid"

[Malwood]

Here's the answer to all our problems:

When we actually got stuck in and ran about a bit at Stoke we looked OK. So let's get Taylor on to do that. But let's keep Grabban, since no-one else in our team has enough talent to score a goal. So my solution is drop Yates, move Cafu back as the box-to-box midfielder, and Taylor as the number 10

[Alf-engelos Mindminackers]

Got a point at Stoke, so I'll be utterly amazed if Hughton doesn't field pretty much the same line-up, bar maybe someone like Mighten in depending on Knockers situation.

Figs got away with his error last game, so Hughton will defo give him a chance to make sure it gifts the opposition a goal in this one.

[Erik]

2020 behind us for this one we can get on with things and finally throw off the shackles that have held us back and give a scintillating display of dour tedium to try to grind out a really entertaining and absorbing 0-0 borefest.

[Carlos]

The absolute worst thing to happen will be a wank smash and grab, as Hughton will remain for a week of a transfer window where a manager that gives a shit could be in charge.

[Tobias]

Time to try something a little different

Samba
Christie Figs Worrall Ribiero
Yates Sow
Knockaert Cafu Ameobi
Grabban

Win 0-0.

Possibly got something to do with Grabban's assist for their goal?

The near post.

Is that anywhere near the White Post out past Calverton?

We can get a smash & grabban here, as in Hooters first game in charge.

Grabban number 10

Taylor lead the line
