Preston vs Derby match thread

[ManxRam]

My earlier comment was about King and Cole coming in to the club not tonight's line up.

Was hard going and were always going to be defending when Nugent and Lawrence can't keep hold of the ball.

Roos, Tomori, Keogh, Wilson and Holmes stood out the rest bang average or poor.

King will make a difference as will the return of Marriott. Bogle back in and Holmes further forward and we will be a far better side.

Last 20mins in first half we played some decent stuff.

Being ‘happy with a point’ proved an understatement last night. We were under the cosh for virtually all the second half and Roos, Keogh, Tomori and Holmes were, I agree, heroic.
Not sure about Wilson...occasional moments of brilliance which could, on another day, have put us 2-0 up, but faded badly after being upended by Pearson who was, imo, lucky to stay on the pitch after committing at least four bookable offences.
Agree completely about the improvement the availibility of Marriott, Bogle, King, Mount, Cole (and Huddleston) will bring. Staggering lack of creativity last night but we would have lost a match like that this time last year, there was plenty of determination and isn’t it time ‘footballers’ like Wilson and Lawrence got a little more ‘protection’ from those who resemble Sunday League cloggers?

RA regarding your earlier question about Marriott i was at the match last night and my wife introduced me to someone who has been to visit Marriott he's had a serious virus lost 20lbs but on the mend Mount out for the four more weeks I won't mention Lawrence you will think I'm obsessed lol

If Mount's out for 4 weeks, and will need match fitness time, then bringing in King could be a masterstroke. Gutted if Marriott is that bad, but at least we have Waghorn to step in.

Delighted with Roos.

Waghorn has a groin injury being assessed Monday King is no Mount in afraid

I'll mention him then. Rechristened ****ing Lawrence here last night, even two neutrals were amazed he wasn't taken off around 55 mins

20lbs! That’s going to take some recovering from in terms of match fitness and with Waghorn injured and Nugent suddenly doing an impression of a slow motion Theo Robinson it’s not looking good.
If Marriott and Waghorn are out next week I’d play Lawrence up top - I know you won’t approve - and bring FloJo in. At least with Bogle back we can have Holmes return to a much needed more creative role.
Funny how just a couple of months ago Carson would have been one of the first two names on the team sheet and Holmes was considered just another dodgy buy.

Wish I could lose 20lb and be fit in a fortnight

RA. Perhaps you can understand my frustrations with Lawrence you don't need to Bielsa to know he can't kick a ball with his left foot His passing is woeful he's weak in possession Yes he's playing in the wrong the position but half the team are imo As for putting him up front can you just imagine him against a couple of big centre halves Having said that Frank loves him so anything can happen
