Preston hardly troubled us all game….I don’t even recall them having a corner all game? Our problem is obvious…not sticking the ball in the net when we are ‘on top’, poor form from our strikers, and no breaks (pen, deflection, miss hit shot etc) in front of goal.

But strange how match stats can give a totally different picture from the one fans get watching the whole game as it happens.

9 times out of 10 a team with our kind of stats on Saturday wins …..funny old game, that’s why we love it !
But those stats hardly tell the true story.
We had the first 5 chances of the match, all from outside the penalty area, 3 were saved (and when I say saved, I could have saved them with one arm in a sling). The first decent chance of the match came after we failed to defend against Riis Jakobsen and he slotted home with ease. They had the best two chances of the first half and scored with both. I could argue their 3 attempts on goal were the best 3 chances of the game.
2 of our 14 attempts on goal happened inside the Preston box.
