Forward momentum for what is a non passing style team was nullified throughout. We really struggled to impose anything on Preston and it looked like a few of the lads allowed Preston to get under their skin.
I hoped for an improved second half performance but more of the same followed. The third calamitous goal summarises this poor away performance quite well with Etheridge's woeful clearance and even worse effort to save the oncoming strike.
Hopefully this just sheds light on the kinks in our game and we get back to winning ways. Preston well deserved victors on the night but Deepdale just keeps bringing back bad memories.
Not figured out, just not at it whatsoever.
One of those nights where everything they try is working and everything we try isn't. They're getting all the second ball. We are making them look far far better than they are.

Oh well, more money saved again this Saturday. Shopping it is.:hehe:
Re: Latest: PRESTON NORTH END 3 - 0 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
As much as Etheridge should have done better for all three, we allowed seven shots on target and only managed one. That's piss poor.

It could not go on for ever, though the apparent performance does seem like a bit of a thump in the guts.
Some things will be learned from this.
For the players, the important thing is to keep the heads and momentum up and think about taking Sheffield Weds apart.

We were smashing shots into the crowd from 25+yards out from the first minute onwards. I think we had the wrong game plan here.

Hopefully we get a reaction on Saturday

I hoped for a result but deep down I had a feeling that Preston on a Tuesday night in the rain was as likely a chance as any of us losing our unbeaten record.
As gutting as it is to lose 3-0, get knocked off top spot and replaced by facking leeds, this might actually temper expectations a little.
It'll be interesting to see how we line up on Saturday.

From what they showed on Sky he wasn't offside. He ran past Bamba to close down our 'keeper.

No disaster. After two very tricky away games you are a point off the top and averaging over two points a game. Preston are fourth. Deepdale is a tough old place to go to.
