They had a close-up of Alioski after the game he looked like he was going to
throw up he was so exhausted.

our saviour
The Boxing Day fixture is the one I always look at first because there are no
trains, so over the years I have misssed one (Chelsea 4 1) , got a coach to one
and left 25 mins early to get home (Graysons first game in charge) Got Rob wood
ex lister out of his voluntary Bates inspired exile (Coventry ?) and then last
season got my daughter in law to sit outside McDonalds whilst we wathced the
bet 5 minutes of the season (Blackburn)This year we found a Manchester based
Leeds fan to take us - only snag he set off a speed camera so we had all the 3
pts in the bag already and today is a real 6 pointer jokes. A visit to the
Drysalters put us back in the Christmas mood, a mood that did not last long
If any team has got the measurre of us this season it is Preston - up yours
Swansea and Fulham managers your 'plans' only worked due to a missed penatly
and a ridiculous one - Preston know how to stop us playing and then shithouse
their way to a point or two.
For me they are this seasons Birmingham against us . a team that prevented us
playing and caught us out, so at least we have 2 points v Preston as opposed to
the two defeats v Brum last time
We started poorly as they denied us time and space, we all new they would not
be able to keep it up for 90 mins so it was important we did not go behind and
give them something to cling to. Unfortunately they got a good breakaway, ran
through the middle of our non existent midfield and ended with a man over who
fired into the net 0 1
We did get a bit of a grp in the last 15minutes but never looked like scoring
really
the second half was similar, they bullied, harried and harassed us, getting
away with lots of niggling fouls, play acting and time wasting in front of a
very lenient referee who seemed content to allow it
The presssure did begin to build and despit a poor performcne this team do have
spirit and character and never give up. Bamford was oddly subbed for eddie as
the crowd cheered his name and booed the decision. Eddie tried to score a goal
to leave us on a high (if he is going to go) and we got closere and closer to
th equaliser.
Many fans thught it was not going to be our day as Alioski had a header well
saved, then another chance was scrambled round the post and then when he hit
the post with a rasping shot, we all thought that was that, aas Preston
defended like demons - i bet they do not win on Saturday !
But as I say we are built of sterner stuff this year and with a bit of luck , a
massive deflection, a fierce shot by Dallas in the 89th minute went flying into
the top corner and limbs went flying all round the ground. More relief than
cellebration but it keeps Preston away from us and keeps our 8 point gap
So a poor performance by too many players - Alioski, Harrison and Bamford all
worked themselves into the ground, others had a day to forget
We need to get Roberts fit or find anothere solution to the abscence of Pablo
if thsi blip is not going to become more serious
