Title: Preston V Rovers
Post by: Guernsey Exile on December 29, 2012, 01:11:29 pm
Well I got the last result correct - I can see us doing well here - either 1-0 or 2-1

Going on our away form to date we certainly should get a result of some sort!  :scarf: Has everyone else dragged themselves across the Pennines for this one?

Post by: DonnyBazR0ver on December 29, 2012, 01:31:21 pm
Tough one to call. We keep defying our performances and coming away with unexpected wins. No reason to expect anything different to a 'thrills and spills' encounter, especially with the conditions.

Be reasonably happy with a draw but we don't seem to do them so, to keep in touch with the Blades, I'll go for a 2-0 win. Bennett, it's your chance to shine mate and leave a few defenders on their arses !!

Can already tell what the 2nd half will bring for us. Niggly fouls, pulling shirts, generally trying to wind us up and give us a kicking. Typical spiteful tactics from Westley, sincerely hope Cpl Jones blasts the ball right into his hooter by "accident".

Westley tactics - "knobble the man that they can't handle". Disgusting.

Agree that Preston will be likely to niggle their way through the second half, though also likely to come out storming after a hairdryer experience at half time. Hope we don't sit back too much.

Listening to Radio Dee Dah, at least we won't lose commentary there. Rovers sound as if they are dominating the game, but the stats on the BBC website don't give that impression, only one shot on target, must be a cracker if it counted for two goals! Maybe we shouldn't always trust the stats...... Playing well, keep clear of the flying boots from PNE and I look forward to Rovers putting some distance between themselves and The Blades next match, with games in hand!
Title: Re: Preston V Rovers
Post by: andysly on December 29, 2012, 04:04:45 pm
If they do come at us we usually enjoy that and take a goal on the break. Would much rather Syers got another 1st minute goal to settle any nerves on the pitch and on here.
