Preston at home

So who got man of the match?

Hamer - made some good saves to keep the score down but was totally at fault for the winner. Punch it, man!

Stearman - another good game as overlapping centre back, but caught out on counter attacks. Not his fault that though.

Schindler - was surprisingly removed on 58 mins. Odd decision.  Probably because he'd had a yellow though.

Sarr - oh dear! Got in Hamer's way, but that wasn't his fault. How's he meant to get out of the way. Punch it, man! The red card was daft. Can't argue with it but watching the Watford v Bournemouth match before shows how inconsistent referees are when a blatant red wasn't given and the lad who got away with it went on to set up the equaliser. Anyway, he's so far out, why bring him down? Have some trust in your keeper.

Pipa - excellent again, probs my MoM. Unlucky not to score late on. Always looks a threat going forward.

Toffolo - same again, looks great going forward and solid in defence. Not sure about the wing backs wandering all over the pitch from side to side though.

Bacuna - played alright but midfield got over run at times and he didn't have a great deal of influence.

Hogg - at fault for the first goal, sticking his arm up for offside and thus letting their bloke get the cross in. Just play to the whistle, man. Why do players do that? It's not cricket. You don't have to shout "howzat" to get a decision.

O'Brien - great to see him back again. Played in Campbell for the winner and was all over the field like he'd never been away. Unfortunately his lack of matches showed and he went off.

Mbenza - did a lot of running but the ball didn't go his way often.

Campbell - great finish in the great start to the game. Faded in the second half.

Subs: Eiting - can't remember much he did or Diakhaby or Koroma.

The worst player though was the TV director. He was all over the place. Oggy's commentating about stuff and we're watching the fourth replay of something that wasn't worth one replay. Or watching a replay of something that happened half an hour ago. We had a shot in the first half and all we saw was the shot, none of the build up. And the close ups. Too many and for too long. Yes we know who Carlos and Alex Neil are, we don't need reminding every five minutes. And how long did he linger on Schindler when he got booked? That director certainly has a man crush on him. Unless the director was female, in which case I apologise unreservedly for being sexist.  Blush

Started off well and got worse as the game went on.

Piss poor defending for both goals and to be honest it was coming from about 20minutes onwards.

Far too many passengers in the game once we went in front, Hogg,O'brien,Mbenza,Campbell, Bacuna take your pick. None of them could get a hold of the ball and relieve the pressure, the ball just given away time and time again.

We only looked like we could get back into it when we made attacking substitutions in the second half.

Think I got 5 at most Snoots. Wasn't aiming at Accrington as well as Burnalee but can see where I might have mislead you. Aston Vanilla had already been mentioned I think.
