Best form of defence is attack.DDOUBLEE said:Absolutely gobsmacked by the lack of the defensive cover on the bench, it's not as if we had 3 defensive injuries on Wednesday that might affected it today? Absolutely scandalous!!!
Attack! Attack! Attack!

League one, like last season, probably .LargeAddick said:
Where do you think he should be playing then?wmcf123 said:

FT 'boro 3-1 WBA
We are currently 5th,...1 -
Good team and squad today:
Writing any player off in the game again Spurs is crazy.
I will judge Knibbs when he plays alongside the 1st team and not a shadow squad against a Premier team.7 -
Don't dislike him. He's just not very good. Sorry if my opinion differs to yours. Let's see where his next move will be to. It won't be the Championship that's for sure.stoneroses19 said:
I don’t understand the dislike some of our fans have for Asiimwe. Was decent last season in league one, yet you think he should be playing in league two or even non-league!LargeAddick said:Asiimwe on the bench in the Championship? Blimey. I expected a League Two or NL move by now.2 -
That's being a bit generous. Pretty sure he was dropped for part of the season.stoneroses19 said:

He's better than nothing, and did ok on Wednesday, but I'd be surprised if he was still with us after the window closes5 -
So, if you come from Bend,Oregon, are you a Bender?SDAddick said:Good morning from Bend, Oregon. Here in a quick holiday.
Team as expected. As I mentioned in the pre-match thread, this feels like a big game. Preston have made eight signings this summer, and yet it also feels like they're there for the taking. Let's hope so.

No game changers on the bench.1

I was reading the match thread and then the post-match comments and I couldn't believe some of the crap I saw about Apter (did well, tried hard, deserves a start against Preston) and Asiimwe (League One standard at best, get rid etc).Zulu said:

I must have had the wrong eyes in my head on Wednesday because I thought RApter was lightweight and ineffective and Nathan played well despite playing musical chairs along the back line half the evening. I don't think the five goals conceded were his fault.7 -

Yeah I think he'll be out the door once we get Bindon finalised. JRC can always be Right Back 3 if we get to that level of emergency.killerandflash said:

My only concern with Asiimwe on Wednesday was that strange little leap he did when tracking back... Its like he was half attempting to block a cross, but the Spurs man also had a clear box to cross into... So yeah not sure what that was.Zulu said:

People hyperventilating about our bench being weak...chill everybody, and wait till the full time whistle, then celebrate another 3 points on the table...👌3

Agreed! Apter got f**king bullied every time he had the ball but apparently that counts as working hard, Asiimwe still got some challenges in playing against some very decent wingers.Zulu said:

I thought Apter when he had time and space put in a few wicked crosses which against the right opposition could have troubled them - But overall I thought he was lightweight3

He probably should have had an assist for the header Asiimwe missed, but wouldn't have been enough overall tbhForeverAddickted said:I thought Apter when he had time and space put in a few wicked crosses which against the right opposition could have troubled them - But overall I thought he was lightweight1 -
They have four of "our" players in their squad: Offiah, Mills, Clarke, and Small. Thieving bastards!2

Followed by Golfie moaning his arse off that none of our four goals were scored by a striker ...eastterrace6168 said:People hyperventilating about our bench being weak...chill everybody, and wait till the full time whistle, then celebrate another 3 points on the table...👌3 -
So Lennie Lawrence is in The Valley today...2

Can he play Centre-Back?eastterrace6168 said:So Lennie Lawrence is in The Valley today...6 -
Best player on Wed imo, especially as he played most of the game at LB, which is not his natural position.LargeAddick said:Asiimwe on the bench in the Championship? Blimey. I expected a League Two or NL move by now.4 -
He was, definitely. One swallow doth not a summer make.golfaddick said:

And maybe he was MOTM because he did better than most of us thought he would but that doesn't make him a Championship quality player.0 -
It was a mistake, he thought the attacker had pulled the trigger on a cross and was jumping to block it, but he was wrong, fella hadnt even shaped for itForeverAddickted said:

Curtis Fleming just ran over from the warm up to shake Lenny Lawrence’s hand. He’s a such a class act3

Weather update:
It's pissing down and the sun's out.
A bit of something for everyone.4 -
Feeling a bit nervous about this one COYR2

lol! the Preston iFollow has just shown Harry Clarke pulling a face at Camera whilst chatting with someone in the Charlton dressing room - Seems a good character as one of the mascots approached him for an autograph and he looked delighted over it.1

COYFR!
Very important game this one.
Let's get the early goal0
