They absolutely should be confident because remain one of worst teams in the league, with a league position that greatly flatters us. Our performances have generally, with the exception of last week and possibly one other, been of relegation standard.
One game last week does not mean we are suddenly a good team. I lack any sort of confidence that our current band of lazy charlatans will suddenly come good. Maybe they saw their careers under threat and put in a good performance in order to buy some time. Who knows? But I cannot believe they’ve had an epiphany and I expect further heavy thrashings this season.

Only West Brom and Leeds in the play off places have beaten us. If we were relegation standard then the table would prove that after so many games. |

Anything you'd like to come clean about? |

Massive game for us and them, almost more so for us than last week.
With the FA Cup games being played we can really put pressure on a few of the teams busy with that who are above us.
I think there's also 3 or 4 games in the coming days involving teams above us who play each other.
A win would be HUGE.

You didn’t feed the cat, you did leave the front door unlocked, you have been burgled, the burglars have eaten all your instant Smash, they also shat on your pillow, you did forget to pay the insurance, your boss is about to sack you, you did leave your debit card and £500 in the cashpoint and your wife is having an affair Other than that though, you’re sound!

We've always been a good team just massively under performing. They didn't even manage to beat us at their place though and we'll have any extra player this time because we won't have Fletcher starting which was just a waste of a space and also Joe seems to have stopped doing his headless chicken impression. Keep the faith. |

Wait ‘til he finds out that the starving cat ate the burglars’ pillow shit, then contracted hepatitis and when he phoned the vets he discovered that his pet insurance wasn’t valid, so he paid £1000 for the treatment, but the vet was a necrophiliac bestiality psychopath who beheaded the cat, fucked the corpse and then sent the head back in a box in the post like Kevin Spacey in se7en. And Preston won 9-0 as well |

However mate, answer me one question: If our football has been relegation standard apart from 2 games this season, why are we 15 points clear of the bottom three? It's not been good no-one would deny that, but that kind of ridiculous hyperbole on your part is exactly the kind of hysterical absence of logic that you're trying to call others out on for believing we're suddenly a good side. Can you not see that yourself? |

I still believe we have one of the strongest squads in the league, apart from our CBs. Our problem is our teamwork has been one of the worst in the league. We have picked up quite a few points this season despite our poor teamwork and poor, negative tactics. Now hopefully under the new manager's guidance we can turn one of the strongest squads into one of the strongest teams. |

The above comment really doesn't warrant a reply despite being guilty of doing so. A win tomorrow suddenly makes our position quite interesting in the league ( despite being relegation standard of course) |

We never really looked like we had their number entirely up at Deepdale and while a lot has happened in the meantime for both sides (both have had moral boosting wins last week - theirs arguably, as good if not more so?) & I think it will actually be close.
We must, must, must get right in Pearson's face from the off though and not give him the acres we did up there, otherwise he's a pretty good quarterback from deep (& it will, once again, add £'ss to his price if we want to buy him any time soon).
BTW, when Crouchie came on near the end up there, they were absolutely bricking it and literally couldn't cope. Let's hope we don't need a repeat performance and NJ's tactical genius has it sewn up by half time.

Bolton and Ipswich are clearly worse than everyone else with Millwall, Rotherham and Reading not much better. It is fair to say Stoke have only hit the required standard in three games (Derby and Leeds at home and Villa away). Most of the other performances have been mud table standard with maybe four or five matches of relegation standard. All that adds up to mid table which is where we are. Or if you prefer a shorter answer: relegation standard my arse. |

Is this the same Preston whom when we drew 2-2 with, we were saying how can Stoke not beat this lot?
Now I’m supposed to think a thrashing is on the cards?
Do me a favour, Stoke will win this 4-2 and hopefully smack Gallagher right in front of the Ref who will say he could not see it because Joe’s hair got in the way.
