I’ll eat my socks if we get anything from this game…Even if Cardiff are as poor as they are.

I hope flecks injury isn’t too bad.

Take a point but another disappointing performance.

We are very much in a relegation fight if we carry on like this.

Need to win our home games because away we look awful.

Anyone know how many sold? Just bought my ticket but forgot to ask!

Then we're doomed.

Under JDT we would have been. Hopefully JE has picked up on this.

One thing to note for Preston. The last chunk of their goals at home have been latching onto mistakes at the back.

Ipswich and then the two goals against Boro were all mistakes. We need to make sure we clear our line…other than that a lot of their fans say their quite poor so I think we have a chance.

PNE beat Boro 2-1 tonight art Deepdale. Now 12 points ahead of us.

Whatever the result on Saturday they will finish this season above us. The are better, stronger, fit, aggressive and come Saturday will treat the game as a proper derby.

Meanwhile we've been celebrating the return of Hedges. 

 

Guessing their fanbase are taking Lowe as the second coming again? He was dead meat to most a month ago.

Those Nobbers need to be careful what they wish.

Literally impossible to predict. Jury is obviously out on Eustace and he's only been here 5 minutes but we have to put in an improved performance from yesterday. Not just from the players but the manager needs to sort out these tactics as we can't just continously lump it forward to no one (or Gallagher to lose the aerial battle)

Can stick with a back 3 if he wants to, bring Fleck in (if fit) move JRC to RWB. Options are limited because recruitment is abysmal.

I’m not one to judge too early on a manager but last night really bothered me…Like I’m still so confused now as the players had no game plan.

I think we will bounce back with a better performance but whether we get the 3 points is another matter. 
 

Want it to work for Eustace so let’s try get something on Sat! 

Still in shock about how bad last nights performance was. Let’s put it this way, we can’t play any worse so I’d imagine we will respond on Saturday.

Id take a draw but I don’t think north end are anything special. 

Only positive is Mcfadzean…He is heads above anyone in our back line.

Poor half -  Almost trying too hard in the final third.

Chrisene has been very poor down the left.

Id take a draw now.

Only 700 ish going down i thought there'd be a few more but it is what it is the away form has been appalling so no wonder a few are giving it a miss.

Poor that.

With pay on the day available I’d imagine a couple hundred will rock up so roughly 900-1000 there.

Hopefully a good result. We need a sell out away crowd for Nobbers…I can’t imagine too many had been sold before JE was announced.

Not sure what game you were all watching? He had great game, played a lot deeper than normal and was very disciplined. Some lovely sequences and made some great passes.

8/11 duels won, 6 Tackles, 3 interceptions 2 key passes breaking play - not bad comparing to the value of the lads he was playing against

The feedback from palace fans is all positive with a lot of other teams admiring him - in around 18 months we will have a serious sell on fee coming our way.

It will be like last summer with the following players 'possibly' leaving.

Szmodics - 6-7m

Dolan - 3-4m

Travis - 1-2m

Carter - 4-5m

Gallagher 2m

Eustace may play a factor is some players actually wanting to stay at the club, whereas if we had JDT still around some would rather of left.

Due to his age and this possibly being a '1 season wonder' I think it would be wise to cash in on Szmodics - Only if it meant we could re-invest in 2/3 players. I would definitely cash in on Carter at the same time.

1-1.

We need to keep our eyes on Dembele who will have our full backs on a knife edge. 

Noticed McGuire still has Rovers in his bio on Instagram -  A few whispers yesterday saying we’ve got him tied up in summer? Not sure if anyone else has heard anything.

It's down to where he's played. HE IS NOT A WINGER. 

 

He doesn't have the genuine pace to play out wide. His best performance have always been when he's played more central, pressing defenders, breaking into the box, turning people whilst playing between the lines. He's an easy player to mark when he's wasted out wide. 

100%!

Nice to see Dolan hugging Eustace at the end (along with a few other players). You never know. Perhaps he just wasn't enjoying it under the previous Head Coach.

Let's hope he signs because it feels like he has matured and become a better all-round player in the last season or two.

I think Eustace coming in will sway Dolan to sign…Eustace is known for bringing the best out of his players, especially the youngsters - here’s hoping.

Thank you! 

Anyone an idea what this reads? Post from this morning.

Fustrating at conceding there. Gives Stoke a glimmer of hope which is the last thing we wanted…All teams around us winning so we HAVE to see this out.

Really curious as to how this game is going to go…Will we fly out the traps and play how we can or are we going to be reserved and try not to leak goals.

We lack so much pace and lack any kind of directness - especially on the wings. Our 2 wingers, for me, aent even wingers so this needs to be improved drastically in the summer.

Stoke despite their position have some good players.

2-0 loss sadly with a lot of work to be done by JE.
