There was a very noticeable difference in how we played when Sheehan took over last season. To claim it was business as usual but we just happened to win a lot more games is a bit lazy. There was a clear intention to play further up the pitch and not be bogged down in our own half. We got Vip...

I think you're on to something there. Keep sacking Sheehan and re-appointing him as caretaker every 10 games until we're promoted

Interesting. Did that ever happen at the end with Williams? I can't recall. If not, it's morbidly fascinating.

Are you saying fans where chanting that today, or that you heard one or more people say it?

Despite all the patting on the back about our wonderful summer of recruitment, this is still fundamentally the same team that struggled for most of last year, so I guess it's not a total surprise we're not camped out in the top 10 after taking a punt on some spreadsheet signings to replace all...

Oh goody, another 45 minutes of this to get through.

Amateur hour out there.

Grim stuff so far. Only one team winning this unless we can change this up.

The earliest I think I’ve seen them is around 5-6 hours after the game ends, but this is relying on hazy memory. If you wanted to get something reliable without just asking the club's media team you can grab the YouTube urls from a few full game replays and paste them here...

After watching the Gorringe interview the other day, he’s probably got Sachin Tendulkar lined up and ready to go.

They were unchanged from Saturday, but not sure what that tells us. Also - looking at Fotmob (I know, I know...) of all their players (6 in total) ranked over 7/10 this season to date, all but one was in their starting line up tonight. So, they might be down a few bodies, but not the bodies...

Had a gander at a PNE forum, didn't scan every page, but saw quite a few opinions similar to these that I grabbed Similar to the comments from Charlton fans after the game on Saturday. Now, we only got 1 point from those 2 games, but why is everyone so eager to look at the negative of...

That was a frustrating watch. We played well enough to get something from a tough away game. Fortune favoured Preston tonight, that's for sure. I've got no time for the hysterical sack the manager brigade after that. Save that for another day.

Aside from the worldie, it's been a game of poor quality, but we've certainly been the better side. Feels a bit like the Charlton game in that 3pts is on a plate for us here if we get a little more zip in our play. Preston don't look up to much.

Listened to the Swans Cast preview with a PNE fan and he said they're a front-foot attacking in yer face kinda team that gets the ball to their danger players quickly. If that's true, we need to match that attitude and aggression from the off or it could get nasty early on. Unlikely to be a 'let...

I think it'll be 5 at the back, with Franco and Galbraith in the middle and Cullen and Widdell being roaming attacking midfielders/inside forwards behind Idah. Similar to how we set up against Man City, with Cullen playing instead of Inoussa.

Well, the inclusion of Cullen will get some blood pressures up, but I like the look of this team. Drop our unproductive wingers and try something else.

Ah, but this only pertains to open play, so maybe we're making up for that a bit with set-pieces... *checks notes* Oh.

The bit that stood out the most for me was in the talk about Modric and Snoop and their social media reach, and one of the interviewers says something like 'I'd exploit the sh*t out that' and Gorringe replied 'That's essentially our business model' and I remember thinking...er...that doesn't...

I'd say that's a very charitable description of Russel Martin's brand of football, but I don't want to get sucked down that rabbit hole again... It certainly doesn't have to be one or the other, but often one is more a focus than the other and sometimes it's ok to start with the defence and not...
