Is it me or is every tackle a push or a grab. Very handsy this Preston team.

Montgomery - though he hasn't done anything catastrophic - is miles out of his depth here. Also, at least 3 times Sky have been talking about one of our two Japanese players with the camera on the wrong one! 👀

This game is there for the taking

Been finding some useful spaces and balls

If he hadn't scored those tap-ins Gudjohnsen would be with be in the Kargbo and Tavares tier of useless.

Toth wouldn't have done something so stupid.

Was that another delicious ball in from Morishita? Bad touches by both our CFs tonight.

I just wonder if Toth would have got the same criticism. Somehow I doubt it. Anyway, this game reminds me of Derby, just up against a physically stronger side, even though we were ok that 1st half. Do worry a bit for us in the 2nd 45

Preston will win this game.

He has a poor first touch as well.

certainly seems it on his first half performance

Ohashi's workrate is off the charts, always running and pressing even if he is getting nothing to work with. I genuinely forget Gudjohnson is playing most of the game which is not good.

Good approach play, nothing at the end of it sums us up

I don't think he's hyped by any of the coaches - we'd never heard of him as fans until last year. I think they're just desperate for another Academy player to come through / smarting from Wharton's success so they've pinned their hopes on him. He's no better than Duru, Powell, Pratt in terms of being a fringe player that probably needs a chance, but most likely aren't going to make it at this level.

There were 5 or 6 players at fault there for sure.

Ohashi is really competitive. Hes got nothing to work with though. Were very reliant on him, Tronstad, Hedges and Alebiouso carrying everyone else. Dont think Gudjonsen, Mori, Montgomery have been able to do anything really. They just get closed down and then fall over/pass backwards.

Pears is poor for the goal but there’s enough chances to snuff that out before he even becomes an issue

Pears is fucking diabolical.

Exactly - I'm talking about the unit, not individual performances. As a 3 they've not done enough.

Montgomery embarrassingly way out of his depth. Keep saying it but one of the most over-hyped players to come through the academy. Needs hooking at half time.

Bit like Brereton-Diaz. Both Ohashi and Morishita have clearly got reputations as being lightweight / divers, so refs don't give them anything. Morishita just gets bodied (and pushed) out of things. Ohashi gets absolute lumps kicked out of him though - it's disgraceful really.

He comes rushing out into no mans land and does absolute fuck all to deter or stop the shot. Fucking useless. No brain, no awareness.

Well Tronstad has been fantastic but the other two really struggled.

Pears shouldn't have even needed to be anywhere near the ball, that's on the defence I'm afraid not him. I know he's the usual scapegoat like.

Lol. On viewing the replay the goal was nothing whatsoever to do with Pears. Mclaughlin should actually have cleared it off the line fairly comfortably.
