Preston North End Post Match Thoughts

[Brin]

Preston played very well, better players and in this league, when you meet teams on a good day, it's always going to be difficult.

We were weak. Partly done off par players, partly injuries but mainly we played a very well organised team with better players who had a collective good game.

In our battle on limited resources to finish at least 4th from bottom, this is always going to happen. I've said it before, but once again to be hysterically negative about losing tonight is just as ridiculous as the "comfortably mid table" posts when we get a couple of good results. Ibs is right to point to the few (but not that many) complacent posts that seemed to think we had survival sewed up, but he never seems to notice the immediate tearful hystrionics of a significant minority when we lose! Prob cos he's a t1t! :-)

On balance, despite the defeat and Blackpool result, and injuries, on balance, we're well placed and have it in our own hands to survive. I don't think we lacked fight or anything like that tonight. Just got bossed by a better team but if we regain focus and battle enough like we know we can, I still think we can keep off the bottom 3.

Pup, I'm not being hysterically ridiculous when I've balanced Sunderland/QPR against our last two games. What's happened pal you explain to me where it's gone so wrong when it's the same players at the disposal to Taylor?

As for, '' I don't think we lacked fight or anything like that tonight''....we were bloody awful. Don't paper over the cracks pal it was s.hite.
