P.N.E (h) - League 1 - 22/09/12

[Rob Harvey]

We welcome Preston North End to the Banks' Stadium next.

They currently lie 5th in the table, and are coming in on the back of a 5-0 victory in their last league game against Hartlepool.

I think we have enough to take the win here, 2-1 Bowerman and Cuvelier to score for us.

Att: 4000-4500 (due to a large-ish number of away supporters)

What do you think?

Views on their manager are welcome ;)

[Ancient Moaner]

Where are all the UTS'ers?
night before a Saturday match and we have 6 posts about the outcome...has the PNE molestor frightened everyone away?

I'll be at Catterick, on our works 'Jolly boys outing' trying to win back the £100 I wasted on that stupid bet that we would finish in the top six! I will also be utterly blotto by the end of the day....so here goes my moans in advance.....

We were useless/we didn't have clue up front/when are we going to sign a striker/ the ref was clueless/ when are we gewin to loan out our international superstar/lack of goals will be our downfall...etc etc good enough OK?

Seriously folks, I would love to give PNE a 'Pompey'' type hiding, but my heart says we will fluff our lines again 0-2 defeat, which will really grate on the nerves if it gives that sad PNE perv another chance to wind us up...so come on me babbies, prove me wrong and make my day out complete with an impressive win...

UTS

[WFC_Rob]

[chestersaddler]

2-0 4556 in attendance.

[ChopperWFC]

Really looking forward to this BUT expected in the lakes for a party so will have to leave at half time ish :(
Dam you good friends for moving away !!! Hoping for a tense game so I can say to the missus ' just another five minutes ' before we score a brace in as many minutes and can leave early safe in the knowledge that Prestons weirdo is crying into his hoody ! :lol:
So 2 - 0 to us it is then don't care who scores
Up the Saddlers !!!

[kshammer]

2-2.

Bowerman and Paterson.

Then again it is a Graham Westley effort so they'll kick fudge out of us and win 1-0 in the drabbest load of shite you'll ever have the misfortune to see.

twerp him.

[Cowshed]

It will definately be two different playing styles tomorrow and i hope we stay patient and encourage the lads to keep the ball on the deck and put on a stylish display. The way we have played so far this season has not only picked up points but also admiration from opposing managers and the media. Rab c nesbitt from pne may be a bit of a wind up but for me he has given the win tomorrow more meaning and added an extra edge to the match. Walsall. 2 preston long ball 1. 4327 1040 pne.

[Rushall Saddler]

Just a heads up for any lads that like a flutter, bet365 go 17/2 (8.5/1) on Bowerman first goal. Good price for a striker who is in decent form and is our most likely source of a goal. Especially when you consider that if you have a bet on him at the ground, you'll probably get about 5's tops.

I hope Smith knows what he is doing today.

[Jolly Johnny]

Team for today:

27 Darlow
04 Butler
05 Holden
14 Purkiss
26 Taylor
06 Featherstone
08 Cuvelier
24 Baxendale
09 Grigg
10 Paterson
17 Bowerman

Substitutes
01 Grof
02 Taundry
22 Downing
11 Hemmings
16 Jones
12 Brandy
15 Taylor

So, Darlow has come in and replaced Grof in goal (like some theorised on here was the reason for his signing) and Grigg is back in for Hemmings. With him and Bowerman starting, does that mean 442 with paterson and bax on the flanks?

[Sadders]

Think it'l be a 4-3-3 with Bowerman and Paterson playing wide of Grigg with Baxendale, Cuvelier and Featherstone as a bank of 3 across the middle. Looks a bit strange this selection, I fear that we may get turned over in midfield as PNE have been playing 5 across midfield and are notoriously 'westleyfied' so will be thuggish and physical.

[Welsh_Saddler]

0-1 down, 10 minutes....... :cry:

[Fray Bentos is God!]

Free header. Poo.

[Welsh_Saddler]

Preston's goalscorer (Byrom) booked for a foul on Jamie Paterson.

[Aldridge_saddler]

Islamic defending has cost us.

[chestersaddler]

1-1 :D :D Baxendale

[Fray Bentos is God!]

Glorious goal.

[Welsh_Saddler]

1-1 BAXENDALE !!!!!!! :D :D :D

[Fray Bentos is God!]

Grigg assist.

[IHTC.]

Grigg assist.

Shows how desperate the Grigg fan club are when they celebrate an assist :lol:

P.s he did do well to chase and lay the ball off :D

[IHTC.]

Free header. Poo.

Where was Purkiss? :twisted:

[longdogs]

Entertaining first half. Both sides playing a passing game, unexpectedly from a Westley team. Cracking equaliser from Baxendale, but their goal was horrible: a free header six yards out, straight at Darlow but still sneaked in. This game could go either way.

[Fray Bentos is God!]

Grigg assist.

Shows how desperate the Grigg fan club are when they celebrate an assist :lol:

P.s he did do well to chase and lay the ball off :D

No, it's in the interests of fairness. I've got a complete bell behind me who is cursing his existence.
