Rate AN v Preston

[mermaidsal]

if you can be arsed. This week's told us too much atm I'm feeling like he had one plan, it didn't work, now he's bleating on about the window. Love to be wrong as ever... oh and apparently there was a match today, hard to believe it was apparently a home game too.

3* from me

add * if you were there and sorry about that

[Fred Merger]

0 absolute garbage!

[Gods]

Dunno but its looking a bit precarious.

4 points off the trap door, Sheffield United away up next, 20 games left to play and we're going down the table faster than a greased pig.

Not sure how much longer he can continue with his '2 or 3 good teams in the division but the rest has yet to take shape' schtick.

Simplistically we're in the brown stuff.

Dogshit team, dogshit tactics. Just dogshit.

After a defeat 3 days ago.
Unchanged team - unchanged performance - unchanged result.
Is that what a manager is supposed to do ? If so he was bob on.

[questionable]

Big fat zero

Had a good 10 minutes when NP came on. Delap, Campbell and Brown all missed good chances but we don’t look like a team.

Exactly this. Zero. Fuck off and take every last bit of this shit show of a football club with you.

I watched the game as a neutral.

It’s a 3 from me, both teams were naff but Preston took one of the rare chances.

Was looking like an obvious 0-0 before then.

Really unimpressed with how he has you playing, not like the Alex Neil tactics we saw at all.

[viewfromthecrowsnest]

Brown and Campbell up front was ineffective. Brown in particular has no belief or hunger.

We do not appear capable of playing the basics of football at the moment.

We are creating half chances but no idea where the goals are going to come from.

We are very chameleon like, just adapting to just below the same level of shiteness as the opponent and letting them edge it every time, be it Burnley or Rotherham.

For us to take anything from a game, the opposition need to significantly out shit us.

True - to outshit us is not hard, we cannot score at all. So we end up losing. Out of 6 shots against is in last 3 games 4 goals have been conceded. Get what you deserve

[willieeetmiout]

-10,000 for starting Smallbone AGAIN.

I have never detested a footballer as much as him.

Absolute nothing player.

[clintonbaptiste]

As said above we lost days ago and he’s gone in unchanged. Smallbone has been garbage but gets picked. Baker has been garbage of late, albeit perhaps out of position but gets picked. Fosu has done alright this season but can’t get a look in, then there’s the omission of Powell ??
I’d prefer to judge Neil after the transfer wi Dow but he’s doing a shit job with the players he’s got.

[AlbertTatlock]

3 from me should have changed things a lot earlier, 5 at the back at home against a piss poor Preston.

Gouranga.

haway can you see the missing pieces in the jigsaw more clearly than we can? What did he have at yours that he hasn't got at SCFC (and don't say the fans ) x

What was he doing differently at Sunderland?

The thought of him having lots of money to spend sends a chill down my spine. Rowett all over again.

[crouchbot]

Got the team wrong, made change too late. I’d say sack him but what’s the point?

[boskampsflaps]

4, not sure what he's trying to get them to do tbh and the subs were poor, the midfield needed both baker and Smallbone replacing and I thought Campbell should have stayed on for his pace and try to actually get the ball to him. It wasn't good.

Err the words “FUCKING WANK” spring to mind. 0

We lose and you don't change a thing.
I'm against that.

Midfield basically. It’s why I can see you signing Pritchard.

We had the inverted wingers and a midfield that pushed up high and pressured from the off. Seemed to work wonders for us and Mowbray has continued that style of play with a focus on passing the ball.

Either your midfield are lazy or he doesn’t want to implement that style of play - which doesn’t make sense given it was working fine for us.

Winning the ball back quickly and creating better quality chances.

Not a lot you can do with a squad of league one players, this isn't a defence of AN but I just don't see what anyone could do with them.

2* for having the self control not to drive the Team Bus onto the pitch and Mow the useless fuckers down. 😂
