Preston

Preston fan seems a bit upset on their forum, that we haven't mentioned that we are playing them on Saturday

Holders · March 08, 2018, 05:35:24 PM

Playing whom?

KJS · March 08, 2018, 05:37:29 PM

What do they think we are SKY Sports News??

It's going to be one of the toughest games we've had recently, they're a solid team who don't lose many games. Just 7 or 8 games all season.

Personally I'd be happy with a point out of this one.

davew · March 08, 2018, 05:46:38 PM

I would settle for a point as well, Preston much underrated!!

About time! Good luck for rest of season except Saturday. Hope if you lose you take it on the chin rather than the old "aggressive cloggers "we get unfairly labelled with. We play a pressing game and a lot of teams have struggled to Cope with it .Oh yea and Seani Maguire just back from injury but has scored 3 x and looks a real Player. Think you will be our toughest test and was surprised you didn't go up last season.

And we have a certain Mitro who has scored 5 in 4 :003:

grandad · March 08, 2018, 06:22:04 PM

We have played a few robust sides lately so another one is waiting for us. I just hope that we have a decent ref who will recognize that certain of our players have been systematically targeted with beyond the limit challenges.

Yep he's a Prem Player. Struggled to cope with him playing for Newscastle pre season.

Sorry but the clogger label is well deserved. Arguably the dirtiest team in the division.

Dangerous nippy little player.

And another team with a manager In the same mould as Rowett ,Wilder ,Parkinson etc. with no humility or respect for the opposition.
Be happy with a point.

hovewhite · March 08, 2018, 06:52:24 PM

All Preston have is memories,but a side that play dirty.
Last season you might have got a piont! U still lost and the season before to.
Will be the same Saturday.

Nobody would deny that there are some teams that are set up and sent out to push the boundaries on foul play and intimidation.

Not just the occasional 'taking' of a yellow card for the team situation but a game plan to foul, disrupt and argue with the officials.

Funny thing is, the fans of those teams rarely see it that way or accept their teams are like that!

The irony is always it's the teams we beat that come up with the lame excuse that we too physical. No team ever admits they lost to a better side. The idea of a football match is to win! See your manager already making his excuses for the game.

The managers of Villa, Cardiff, Wolves & Sheffield Wednesday all admitted they were beaten by the better side. The game is called football , not footplayer.

Fulham 442 · March 08, 2018, 07:26:15 PM

Sorry but I would never ever go on an opposing fan's forum. I just think it is wrong. We had "Blade in piece" (sic) earlier but at least that was post match! I don't wish you good luck for any game except Saturday etc... I just don't care about Preston at all. I am a Fulham fan!!

I'm not quite sure what you've been watching / reading, but Jokanovic certainly hasn't been making excuses, you won't find him being over confident, or arrogant either. He'll deliver a game plan, like he did against Villa, Wolves, Derby, Sheffield Utd, to cope with Preston. Tough game, yes, but so was Villa, Wolves, Derby, Sheffield Utd..
