Motor Mouth 255 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 3 midfielders are just to static only Downing trying to make it work . Leadbitter/Howson and Guédioura doing nothing to impress at present. Link to post Share on other sites
RonBoro 44 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Preston have close to 70% of the ball so far. Here is hoping thats gets lower as the game goes on. Link to post Share on other sites
SouthernSmoggie 4,242 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Preston absolutely dominating us. We can’t even get out of our own half and all we can do when we get the ball is just to hoof it up to an isolated Britt who is weaker than a 10 year old. How many caps must Downing Howson Leadbitter and Guideuora have between them... Preston running rings round them Link to post Share on other sites

When we're playing the ball up to Britt like that, those are just long passes like Glenn Hoddle used to do. This isn't 'hoofball' or whatever you want to call it. This is precision football.

boroie 484 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Turgid stuff. Not looking good so far, though our goal was decent. Traore playing so deep when they have the ball and we have no out ball except Britt. He is so isolated though, we need the wingers playing higher up and one of the center mids to get much closer to Britt. Guedioura seems to be playing ok but unsurprisingly a bit off the pace.

Downing moves into the middle naturally anyway but he's having to do it today because he's the only one out there that's any good and can pass a ball. Link to post Share on other sites

wilsoncgp 9,283 Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Every time we actually manage to get a touch of the ball, there is absolutely nothing going on. No movement, nobody available. Every touch is lacking, every pass is going nowhere. Everyone looks absolutely shattered. Link to post Share on other sites
