Not now - Gillingham penalty 2-2
And Newport actually lost it at the end 2-3 !
Aren't they still playing?

Try Newport for one. Winning 1-2 after full time. Lost 3-2 after added time. :oops:

The fact we played that game with no recognised striker on the field for a whole HOUR after going 3 down, says everything i need to know about our new "head coach"

No point in picking individuals out, on a forum but whoever sits down to assess these players need to start being honest, being nice doesn’t work

Hard to argue against 3 up 3 down when there's 5 teams somehow managed to bag less points than us so far this season.

But don’t worry though the players like Gallagher.

We were never 3 down but were we any better when our sole striker came on? He's had to play with what he has, see where we are at the end of the window.
Don't let the old man in.

Only going off in-game stats here, but I think that’s the most possession and getting shots away in a game we've had all season. I am grasping for anything positive here.

Doesn't alter the result of course

To start a game without a recognised striker in the line up tells us we are incredibly short on quality and depth at both ends. Need to know why Josh Gordon didn't feature as he would have been sure to start.

Some late drama in the Newport and Bristol games, just about keeps things as was at the bottom end.

We have to start being really ugly we are as soft as sh!t, it’s great saying what a good second half and the lads worked their socks off. Once again we set up not to lose and surprise surprise we go our usual goal down hence game over. But let’s take the positives oh hang on there ain’t any. Thank god others below us are just as bad. Hope Gallys good at turd polishing.

Cameron is not the guy. Fletcher is making himself very compelling to have in and around the box.

Some might say (regarding Cameron) that we don't actually have a "recognised striker" in the squad ;)

Stats mean nothing if we don't score goals.. we need people who want to fight for the badge and right now, I just don't see that..

We do have some good players who we know can do it, unfortunately they just don't seem to care enough for me..

Was Williams injured ? He along with Flash first names on the team sheet. Be good to know what the hell is going on, more news come out of North Korea.

Seems a touch harsh after one game, and certainly not what everyone at Preston thinks! Lets give him a few matches, eh?

Or perhaps it says everything we need to know about Innes Cameron!
