What's happening in general with the Coalition and any protests? I know people can be very fickle and one minute they are baying for blood and two or three wins later a lot are as happy as sandboys, but it does seem to have gone very quiet and I'm not aware of anything at all happening during the Derby game. Are things ongoing or has everything been halted by the threat of legal action etc?

Very workmanlike performance last night and a great result but I think that's a very blue and white tinted glasses assessment. I think we're a pretty poor outfit and everything hinges on whether we can sort the home form out. If we can, happy days and we should be relatively comfortable this season but I don't think we'll continue in this vein of winning all our away games so I'll still be very relieved when we get to 50 points. The one thing I do agree on is Pratt. As I repeatedly said before the game there's rarely been a disaster arising out of handing a youngster his debut and so it proved yet again last night. I dont think people were overly critical about the prospect of selecting him , they'd have been a lot more critical if Hedges had started there again. If Ismael had been braver, and not made a ludicrously bad decision to start Hedges at LCB against Derby and started with the same line up as last night, I think we'd have got at least a point there as well.

"Pratt seemed to cope ok"? He was brilliant!

I agree with you, he put a shift in defensively tonight but he's still pretty woeful in the final third of the pitch.

Is there not some sort of a fair play panel that can get involved or is that only where the referee has missed the incident?

Don't know what it was, I thought Baradji looked quite promising. Might be partially because Preston were tiring and pushing forward looking for the equaliser.

Mercer's taking everyone out for a drink! 😁

That's an exceptionally low bar but fair play he had a good game tonight.

He showed some great touches and some terrible ones but I actually thought him coming on stopped Preston's momentum and pushed them back on their heels considerably.

Good win. not many were expecting that before kick off. Excellent debut from Pratt, Pears played well, Alebiosu, Tronstad, Hedges and Ohashi good. Well done everyone.

That's a red from Whiteman even without the subsequent reaction. A red and a half.

Ohashi a bit greedy there.

I think that's a pen. Deliberately put his hand in Gueye's face.

He's had a good game. Miscued that punch slightly but had the right idea punching it out. It would have been very dangerous punching it forward

Well done Alebiosu. C'mon!

Unless anyone is clearly gassed I wouldnt make wholesale changes just for the sake of it. If it ain't broke......

It was a very good finish. Hardly any room at that post.

Lol. Worst finish ever from Small?

Good point.

Lol. Gudjohnssen has done the square root of fuck all all game and scores! Very tidy header tbf.

He has a poor first touch as well.

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.

My impression over the season is that we haven't let THAT many in but we score even less. Completely toothless up front. Obviously conceding so quickly after going ahead was absolutely unforgiveable.

Ill bite. Yes.

And the near side! Well done Lewis Miller and a great delivery from Hedges. Oh bugger................
