RiseSirAxlRose 43 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Been to North End 6 times now and only seen us draw once. Love the pub, love walking to the ground and love being there. Makes it easier I live less than 5 mins from Deepdale! Pretty much gave everyone 7/10 other than 3. Gestede, Fletcher and Tav 8/10. Another great result. Honestly, 4 weeks ago I thought we would likely go down, now I dream of mid table security! 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Hi - no, I was banned at fmttm about 2 years ago for the most bizarre reaction I’ve ever seen from a grown man when I questioned The Hillsborough Report and Liverpool fans innocence. Whilst the majority backed me for putting a across an intelligent debate apparently as adults we couldn’t question an independent report and my IP was banned by admin over there. I gave up and just viewed fmttm since the banning. Always heard about this place and then joined last night. Link to post Share on other sites

That is a surprise, sensible debate is always welcome but as we all know sometimes that can get out of hand. As I said welcome think you will find this is a good place to chat and that opinions are valued Link to post Share on other sites

Changing Times 12,218 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Hmm, the angle I saw from behind the goal it looked pretty clear that Fletcher hadn't touched it at all. I'm sure Fletcher won't mind like! And at least now when we sell our top scorer, we won't actually be selling our top scorer 🤨 Link to post Share on other sites

Wonder if the dubious goals panel (do they exist still?) Might give this one back to Davies as an O.G. Link to post Share on other sites
DanFromDownSouth 1,706 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Brilliant win this! Looking at the fixtures before the Swansea game, this and the WBA away games I could not see us picking up any points. But 4 in 4, keep them coming! Link to post Share on other sites

I fancied us in this one but only because we'd actually played well at West Brom. Preston had been in bad form and they aren't an especially good side - I thought when we played them at home that they were pretty ordinary for a team who were right up there. I would actually say that this is a game we should have won in a way. Easier said than done though 👍 Link to post Share on other sites

Since then they have lost 2 games at home (including against us), but they are still at the top of the tree in terms of home form. Their away form has been fairly middling which is probably why they looked average at our place. But as always in the championship it mainly down to which team turns up on the day, and I'm glad it was us! Link to post Share on other sites

I mentioned this yesterday when big Phil at the Gazette tweeted tongue in cheek about how close we are to the play-offs. When you look at the teams in and around those positions, nobody is really pulling up any trees. Even Brentford, on their pretty good run right now, have lost 9 games this season. That's why even though they're 3rd, they're further off 2nd than we are from the play-offs. It seems there are a lot of pretty ordinary teams in this division who are contesting the play-offs.

Not even close to touching it. I’d genuinely be embarrassed if I was awarded that ‘goal’ - ridiculous tbh Link to post Share on other sites

I know for a fact that Gestede has a goal bonus written into his contract. However it was written in that long ago we owe him a £1 note and a wham bar. He’s just not scored enough to warrant upgrading it 2 Link to post Share on other sites
