3-0
That's preston out of the playoffs. You'd think that would mean they'll rest a load of players on Saturday, so we'll be playing against most of their reserves. Really should be winning Saturday and finishing this thing. |
why would they rest loads of players? They have nothing to rest them for
If that was us we'd be playing our strongest team and trying to finish on a high |  | | |

This doesnt quite finish PNE's playoff Hope's but it really would take a miracle. if they win their last 3, and Norwich lost all 3, they could finish 6th. Provided nobody else in the hunt does as well.
They did have a tight away record, before tonight. |  |

Norwich would need a point at 3pm, even if PNE try to do a Likely Lads and not look at the scores, 16k QPR fans might spoil the surprise 😂
Great result tonight, I still think Preston will still be up for a win but being out of play off contention must be a positive for us. Need a draw minimum. | | | |

Saw PNE's team coach on the M6 about 1pm going south from near Preston.
Looked like they had a national express coach, with no refinement.
Cannot have been comfortable and maybe tonights result is coming from not having enough room on the bus. |
But will they park that bus? | |

One of those weird results that I hope doesn't backfire on us. Surely for one Saturday we can actually turn up and actually get the job done. |  |

I think we can all go crazy wondering about Preston. They won’t rest players but they also know they are out of the playoffs now. But I think all teams in this league will put up a fight.
What’s more important is We got beat 3-0 too, so I hope our players have a reaction on Saturday. | | | |

Agreed, its not like if they lose they are going to trot on the pitch on Saturday in beach shorts and park their surfboard at the side of the pitch, is it? |
We could always ask?! |  |

I always think that the only people talking about this nonsense is fans of a club who need points for something. It’s just another game and if Preston play well they’ll probably get something out of it. [Post edited 17 Apr 0:04]

Not sure they will be resting players? They won't mathematically be out of the playoffs and I think if we were in the top half and in their position we wouldn't be rolling out a load of reserves?
Lowe is the sort of manager who will be galvanising them after what looks like a heavy defeat.
You can look at it all ways. Guess we need to just concentrate on ourselves. |
8 points behind Norwich with 3 to play and Norwich have a better goal difference. The Preston boss also pretty much conceded they were out of it even before the Southampton game. Its an opportunity, but can we take it? | | | |

The stats from the game are pretty damning.
23 Southampton shots to Preston's single one...
78% possession for the saints....
We need to take to them straight from the off Saturday. |  | | |

Your last point is exactly right. I love all of what Marti has done but one thing we haven't done very often is start aggressively at pace on the front foot - we've been a bit more controlled and coolheaded which I understand is one of the main Marti theses, but if ever there is a game to get up and at 'em in the first 10-20 mins, throwing men forward and rousing the fans, this is it. Beat them mentally and physically before they've settled.
Wishful thinking perhaps, but would love to see it...
PS Le Tissier was a joy. | | | |

Preston’s defence is appalling: pity that Southampton’s attacking midfield and forwards are in a different stratosphere to ours as they can link up, pass accurately and shoot properly. |
"they can link up, pass accurately and shoot properly."........
players are actually allowed to do this? Do ours know; someone should tell them! |  | | |

Yeh if Preston could produce another first half like that I'd be very pleased.
Mind you, bit different playing against all the Armstrongs and Che Adams to playing against Big Lyndon and The Royal National Institute of Blind People. |  | | |

Our last chance of taking six points off someone this season. Let’s hope our centre backs have got their shooting boots on. |  | | |

big difference is Southampton are a very good side with some of the best attacking players in the league, our front 4 haven't got a goal in them | | | |

In the modern game, aren't they best known for time-wasting?
That may not be helpful. | | | |

According to a Bristol City supporting mate of mine, 5 minutes injury time was shown on Saturday but the ref added 11 due to Huddersfield’s blatant time wasting. Not sure of the veracity of that but if true they take the award ahead of Preston ( or us if we are 1 up at any time on Saturday). | | | |

Huddersfield are indeed the absolute masters. Saw a stat that they’ve not had a home penalty for a billion years. Might help if they got the ball in the box sometimes. | | | |

Yeah they'll spend the whole game looking to break up our rhythm.
What they will fail to realise is we don't actually have any rhythm, so there. |  | | |
