Brum v PNE

[SF_]

We can barely put a team together but we seem to have built up a bit of a siege mentality, should have beaten Boro on Tuesday so we will be looking to go one better here, 3pts and 10 unbeaten would be a lovely start to a tough month. Not an easy game by any means though.

Ben Davies missed Tuesday with a knock but might be back for this, i'd drop Huntington personally and give Storey a run of games but think Neil will want him in for his experience. Gallagher's legs must be feeling it after 2 games in 4 days but we have to play him really, Pearson is playing through the pain barrier too.

Rudd
Clarke, Huntington, Davies, Earl
Pearson, Gallagher
Barkhuizen, Browne, Barker
Moult​

Maxwell, Fisher, Hughes, Storey, Ledson, Burke, Nmecha
​

Even with the players we have out, that's still a very decent front 4.

1,100 sold as of 1pm.

Preston are a decent side they are in a false league position atm, I see a draw today but hope we can nick it.

Hope we get limbs like last season

Declan Rudd is still pony then, fucked my bet aswell the prick unless PNE can get an equaliser.

Unacceptable from Rudd. What the fuck is wrong with this goon.

Worst howler I've ever seen from any North End player ever.

Tough ask today without DJ, Robinson, Maguire, Clarke and Pearson....but we never looked in any sort of trouble until Rudd completely fucks everything up (AGAIN!!!!) - Then the whole body language of everyone changed and Birmingham got a huge boost and smelled blood.

Sick to death of our keepers. Defo need to sign someone else because they're both as bad as eachother.

Fucking pathetic from Rudd today. Wait until you see it if you already haven't. He's made a laughing stock out of us.

Seen a clip of it on Twitter.

I bet Birmingham fans never thought they would see a bigger goal keeping howler than Enckelman’s at that ground but I think they may now have.

A more comfortable home win we won’t see again all season, comprehensively the better side from start to finish, frustrating first half watching chance after chance after chance go begging, felt like one of those days....then up steps Keif and slams one home from fully 45 yards .....only going to be one winner from then on in, and truth be told 3-0 flattered Preston as it could have been at least double that, very pleasing way to round off a mixed week.


I jest of course, the Blues opened was an absolute howler, second biggest blooper I’ve seen in nearly 40 years watching football, you could even argue it’s worse than Enckleman with the distance the ball has travelled and the lack of pressure around him.

 

[TomPNE94]

I honestly don’t remember you having one chance in the first half...

Christmas is fucking cancelled until Rudd and Maxwell get AIDS.

 

[Predator373]

Comfortable 3-0 win, upto 9th, +6 goal diff, 4 points from play offs, still unbeaten at home since March last season, come on you blues boys!!!!!

I honestly don't think i've seen a worse goalkeeping error than that, I haven't liked Rudd for well over a year now but i'm done with him. Maxwell is much better than him but i'm sick of him as well, a new No.1 is needed.

As for the game, as soon as that went in it was game over, they just looked demoralised and with no Pearson or Clarke on the pitch there was just zero leadership.

Good day apart from the football.

An 'on-going problem' for Ben Pearson doesn't sound good, smells of a potential operation. It's all about survival now, these injuries are almost impossible to cope with, missing 7 first team players on Saturday, not to mention the club's failure to properly replace Hugill & Cunningham.

Clarke - Davies
Pearson - Johnson
Bodin - Maguire - Robinson​

Hard to find much motivation at the minute.
