He can’t get a 5 min run out now , even though we have only scored 7 goals in 11 games. Rooney clearly doesn’t rate him. He’s started in 9 of the 13 first team matches this season and scored 1 goal. sage and minesahartington 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope there's one or two who woke up this morning, rang a mate and said "shall we go to the match today?" Tick! Me and my 40-year football buddy are on the train from York now and not even remotely tempted to stay on it to Blackpool! uttoxram75 and Derby4Me 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no way Curtis would even want to claim the goal v Huddersfield!! Looking at this list there are a lot of players who have played a lot of games and only managed 1 goal….or not on the list at all! Sibs had played nearly 800 mins and 11 games, which is the second most minutes per goal. Top of the list for mins per goal is Hutchinson who’s scored as many as Sibley in 20% of the minutes.

He either needs to bulk up a bit so he can hold defenders off or be a bit wiser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade 86 Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Come on lads! Three points today would be lovely, but a fighting performance with attacking intent would be enough to put smiles on a few faces. Another clean sheet would be welcome too ?

Black ('n' White) Sheep Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Kaz has got to be on the bench... Can't see any other reason for our only other recognised striker (other than Baldock) being in the under-23s. I'll predict: Allsop Jagielka Davies Forsyth Jozwiak Bird Morrison Shinnie Buchanan Baldock Lawrence Subs: Roos, Kazim, Stearman, Sibley, Watson, Ebosele, Knight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've made me look into how Preston setup... usually a 5212/3412. Average positions roughly like this: I can't make up my mind if a 5 at the back with 3 up top would be a better counter (spare CB picking up a runner with our 2 CFs expoliting the gaps between their CBs) or 4 at the back with 3 up top, man for man all over the pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
