Just wrote what I considered to be a hopefully amusing & lighthearted post to set the ball rolling, then ......

AAAAAAGGGHHHH! ......I forgot to select category and I lost my poxy post.

There is absolutely no way to recover the post unless I copy & paste every time before I send.
So now I really do have something to moan about.

Please nice Mr LoOkie, please can we have a preview box before we send, like every other forum on the planet. Please?

    Absolutely appreciated, BFR.

    But this is one techie black hole that just does not exist on any other forums I've ever used.

    Luckily living up here it didn't take long to get home.

    The best team won, if could have finished properly they would have had at least 3 by half time and it was just a question of when and how many. Preston played like we did last week, we played badly, Weaver had a excellent first half and I couldn't see their goals clearly or our penalty as they were all down the other end. Our tactic was to lump the ball down the middle to Gray who was usually beaten by their two CH's. Basey was weak and Bouzy just didn't go down the line but always came in field like Thomas!
    Our midfield was overrun,Gray was poor and Varney ran and ran but no effect except the penalty. Ambrose didn't look fit when he came onbut did provide some good free kicks.

    Overall a poor performance - just like last season

    Bailey tried but was overrun. Shelvey seemed like a 16 year old playing against seasoned professionals. Richard Chaplow ran the show and Shelvey would hope that he ends up playing like him as well as looking like him.

    We did indeed lump the ball up. Not sure why or whatfor but we did.

    It's a long old season already ....

    Oggy, is the problem with you that you forget to select a category when starting a new thread ?

    Its just that apart from those instances, i'm not aware of any others where posts are lost.

    I'm not aware that a preview extension is available i'm afraid. What i would say is if you type anything more than a couple of lines, simply highlight and press copy before sending just in case.

    As for the other one, simply ignore him.

    I'm sure responses are exactly what he wants.

    I'm feeling completely indifferent as well.

    There has been no wife beating, crying into my pillow. Even when they scored i didn't swear, and that never happens.

    Winning doesn't seem to be my be all and end all at the moment.
  • agreed barts I dont care as much which is a shame I will go to the home games pick my away games but I aint going to get the hump.

    Try pressing the back button in your browser. Depends on browser though. Otherwise, check now, you'll see a Preview. I used to have it on, mainly so that people could consider their posts, particularly spelling, but no one seemed to notice. I'll renable it just for you Oggy.

    Yeah strange one for me today also. Was buzzing when we went 1 up but then when they turned it around I didn't want to destroy anything or kill anyone! Not sure why that is but exactly as NSS says I'll go to the home games and I'll pick and chose the away ones.

    Oggy, try Opera as a browser. I quite like it (although unlike Firefox the spellchecker doesn't seem to work). I find that it usually stores posts and you can retrieve them. I use it for browsing this forum and use Firefox and IE for general browsing.

    A couple of times I've started posts in the wrong category - simply post and then on edit go back and select the right category.

    Had the same thoughts yesterday as I sat down to watch the Sweeney, whilst listening to Roy Woods Wizzard. Win at home, soft touch away. Particularly oop North.

    agreed.

    this season my expectations consist of being top half, chasing a play off place as long as possible, a few cracking days out, giving them lot a good shoeing twice and seeing some good young footballers play proper football, that's your lot.

    if i had have done a 9 hour return trip for £65 up to Preston I might have been more than a bit miffed, the fact I read it off my phone in Greenwich has lessened the blow, I'd feel a bit of a fraud slitting my wrists if I wasn't there!

    I went yesterday, cost me £100 for just ticket and travel alone. Would of got more value sticking the cash on a bonfire!

    Thoroughly miserable day all round, poor turnout, no atmosphere. Preston deserved the win, as said before only a couple of names stick out just for a satisfactory performance. Its difficult to criticize Varney as he works so hard but he very rarely produces any end result. Andy Gray doesn't really do anything, I understand we need that sort of big frontman up there so give Fleetwood a go alongside Dickson, I don't care that they arnt perceived as 'ready', they will be hungry and certainly dont have too much to improve from the current front line. Shelvey certainly isnt ready though.

    Like last season we have no consistency, that wasn't the same team that played Reading last week.
  • [cite]Posted By: Frank Butcher[/cite]Andy Gray doesn't really do anything

    scored three goals this season and has moved as many muscles doing it, didn't go yesterday but from what I hear he is still not contributing enough to help the tireless Varney
  • nichorob

    Keep Varney on the wing and go with Fleetwood and Dickson. Fleetwood to win the headers and hold the ball up which is beyond Grays capabilities it seems and the pace of Dickson to run at defences, latch onto balls and finish in a Darren Bent like role. Just wish Pardew would have the bollocks to try it for a couple of games.

    I'm amazed as to why Pards changed a winning midfield. Bailey needs to be in the centre. Should have started with Ambrose and when he tired after 60 minutes he could have switched Varney to the right side and bring on Dickson. Shelvey is young and has a long way to go and we can't expect him to dominate against seasoned pro's. Cameo's off the bench for the time being imo. The fact Dickson doesn't feature too much is a sign to me that Pards doesn't rate him. Maybe there is something in the Beckford rumours after all.
