Cantwell looks hungry and if he can keep that up £600k is an unbelievable bit of business for us regardless of the wage cost. Exactly the kind of player we need to split open teams. Get in lads!

Excellent! Time to put them to the sword and secure the points.

Doesn't matter about "intent", a desperate challenge where the player can't control himself and endangers an opponent is a red in this day and age.

Another opportunity to take advantage of 10 men and we'll likely put negative pressure on them.

I'd rather he spent more time being concerned about our complete inability to create anything of note 11v11 or 10v11.

I fully expect both Preston and Burnley to finish above us this season. Even with 10 they looked far more threatening than us.

Mugges would imply we deserve anything from this game. Hopefully this is a one-off because if this becomes our regular level we'll be in a dogfight very quickly.

We'll lose this now. An atrocious performance and another completely bent ref.

It's like the baton of dreadful is being passed when people go off. Travis just dawdling on the ball there.

At this point it will be a shite performance regardless.

9/10 Preston attacks start with Dolan being unable to control the ball. How he is still on the pitch amazes me.

It does if we're the 10. Changes needed.

I don't think it's unrealistic to expect us to be able to do simple things like pass and control the ball. We've still been second best since the red fgs!

Second best against 11, somehow worse against 10 so far. Big 15 mins ahead for Eustace. We absolutely should be winning from this position.

Dolan and Baker off, Gueye and Cozier-Duberry on for me. Dolan in particular has had a stinker.

Preston fans arguing that isn't a red card after Carter got yellowed for tapping someone on the arm. Deluded.

No surprise the first time he gets it tp feet on the turn we got up the pitch and a corner.

STOP LAUNCHING IT!!! It didn't work the first 30 times, it's not going to work the next 30.

Turgid so far, with no effort at all to play to Yuki's strengths. Preston seem to know we want to nick it and break and are playing in a way that stops us doing that. Need a plan B.

I really hope this isn't going to be another derby game where we get a yellow for every little challenge.

Can't complain about the lineup staying consistent and the bench looks strong. Never an easy game in this league but as long as we turn up I can't ask for more.

It's always like this for a while anyway. And there will be at least one team near the top at Christmas who collapses and one near the bottom who surges in the second half of the season. We've just got to focus on ourselves one game at a time and hope this new-found resilience keeps up.

When did that lot get so soft? Seen so much talk about "parking the bus" and "should have had multiple red cards" this week and I can't believe this is the same fan base that lauded Sean Dyche as the second coming.

You could say that about Dolan multiple attacks. There was an earlier one where he was put through by Gueye and Weimann was free at the back post and fuming that he didn't pass.

They're classic Scott Parker - he spends a ton of money with a relegated team and usually just does enough to scrape his way to promotion. Massively overrated manager.
