The first of back to back home games in 4 days
Looks like City are chasing Cameron’s Archer from villa on loan.
Fingers crossed
that would be an excellent signing, but I thought they were going to keep him aroundQuote:

I read it in the media. Those well-regarded newshounds at the Wails Online had this to say on the subject -
"However, it's believed the preference is to send Archer to a Championship club with the financial resources available to fund the forward's pay package, which could prove problematic to Cardiff were they to revive their interest".
good man, always give sourcesQuote:

nope, Preston seemed to recruit really well over the summer, and haven't conceded a goal so far this season. can't see our misfiring attack getting anything against themQuote:

Yeah, there'll definitely be some sort of result imo.Quote:

Crazy stats, 450 mins of football and nothing conceded and only 1 goal scored. You just know that if you stick your cash on 0-0, it'll be 5-4 or something.
I can't wait to get down there today. I just hope we give it our all.Quote:

I found this strange too.Quote:

Preston scored five, almost twice as many as us, in their two League Cup matches
4 of them against Huddersfield though who've started poorly.Quote:

Colwill starts,
The new lad from Everton on the bench
Some big calls. Watters again up top. Ralls who looks completely out of form back and O Dowda at left back.
Colwill starts though.
Ralls owes us a good game.Quote:

All too slow at the moment.....and overplaying...
Certainly the better team...and great effort from Watters earlier...can we get (at least) one goal??
Anyone else on here??? lack of comments!!/
Swansea 23rd as it stands...oh dear.....
Strange how Palace always seem to win at Man City....2-0 up at the moment....
