your delusion that you're actually a 32 year old former model and business owner from Preston is extremely worrying.

I suspect none of the mods will vouch for you...

I can confirm Natasha was not online last night or in the chatroom.

We got a CLEAN SHEET against one of the top clubs.

I think people are forgetting just how badly we were doing, Coyle got 1 clean sheet all season, Freedman has got one in his SECOND game against arguably our hardest competitors. And the goal conceded against Cardiff was bloody unlucky.

Yeah we played pretty bland football, no really exciting attacking threat. But that isn't what hes focusing on, isn't that obvious? he said it himself.. Once hes sorted the defense we can concentrate on attacking options more and start a more attacking team.

So the reason he kept Pratley, Andrews and the like on instead of Chungy (who had a dire second half) and Eagles (who was knackered) was to finally strengthen our defense and see a game out! Something every single one of us has been shouting for for the last two years!

4 points against Cardiff and Leicester as his first two games is good, if we beat Blackpool which I can see us doing its almost a dream start.


People say being in the Championship is good because we can expect to win every match, tbh thats one of the main reasons I dislike it, when you hear comments from the idiots sat behind like 'Think there will be a bit of booing after this game' when your at 0-0 with fourth in the league it feels like Old Traffod not The Reebok....





Bogdan and Warnock both had a great game. Thought everyone else just 'did their job' without anyone standing out much.


Also, 8 points from 5 since Coyle left, that would put us in the playoffs (and considering weve had a harder run than most of his thats a good start)

This is a really good start and hopefully just a start on a march upward in the table. Glad we have a manager who does not telegraph our game plan and who actually tries to analyze the opposition and then neutralize them. Let's win a few in November and we will move up the table. At least we have someone who is getting us that 2 points per game that Gartside demanded earlier this season. A couple of good moves in January and we will be in playoff territory. I hope Zaha loved Dougie!

Don't agree. If Bogdan hadn't been in great form and the Leicester attack shite we could have gone in 4-0 down at half-time. This wasn't a great defensive display, we just had a bit of luck and the donkeys at the back didn't make huge mistakes.

To get promoted we need to win our home games, but if he's going to insist on keeping Kevin Davies on for 90 minutes and putting our best crosser on the wrong wing then he is no better than Coyle.

You say 'insist'


Hes done that once.

If the remit for the new manager was to win every game by 4 or 5 and a clean sheet every time i suspect many will be disappointed.

You can't keep saying that our whole squad is shite and then have a go at Dougie for not beating fourth when hes just started....

Just saw this in the BEN

Imagine keeping a clean sheet with Coyle in charge then, no chance.
