Dan Jones gave away possession playing a long ball out of defense that went straight to a Preston player. It was a poor ball that immediately had me out of my seat. A more considered pass to a Town player was always the option because that is how we play; keeping possession and build up.

From there they went on to score. I thought Hird should have done better. Having watched the replay it seemed Evatt and Darikwa went AWOL. As you say a defensive nightmare.

Jones was trying to play it into Roberts feet, something we did all night, but Roberts just looked away as he passed it and it was slightly off from Jones but ever after that we could have stopped the goal with better defending. Evatt was to far left, Hird was over covering then Darikwa didnt cover from there leaving Beckford in...the defending part is from memory mind you so i could be wrong but that was my impression at the time.

it was a poor ball from jones ,nearly impossible for roberts to control,but the defence was all over the place and tendayi was miles out of position he should have tucked in.

Yes away totally different,if you look at the last head to head we lost the last five at home to Preston and not scored a goal so I was expecting us to lose but and we usally come good second half and its now half time so im expecting us to come out fighting,the pressure is now on Preston.First goal is crucial the longer we hold them at nil nil they will defend in depth.

I expect them to close the game out if they score first, as we would need 2 just to get to penalties. With their firepower they will fancy scoring at least once. We have a mountain to climb on Sunday, lets be in no doubt about that, but miracles happen.
