Just returned from the game. Another great passing performance for the most part. Dickson Etuhu, what a player, he is unreckonisable from the unhappy midefielder last season. Crofty was also pure clas, hell can that boy cross a ball, Earnie finally got his goal, the first of many I'm hoping. Brilliant game, just three downsides....
We were calling out for a big man all game! As if it wasn't already clear, it was even more so than from Elland road today. When we have a player whos crosses are as good as Croft's it is such a shame when a ball goes in, that it is 5'6 Earnshaw standing in the middle. I don't think that Etuhu/Robinson get forward enough for his crosses, they were all towards Earnie. 9 times out of 10 he will do NOTHING! Sign someone Worthy!
Before Earnshaw got his goal Preston really came at us, it was looking as though we would throw another promising performance away. We need to make sure that around the 60 minute mark, we stop going down a gear. I still have yet to see the side perform for 90 minutes. I am sure it will come though.
The defence looked a little bit shakey all game. Doherty will not have a season like he did last, and I am still not convinced that Shackell can consistantly perform without any mistakes....
Still came home in a good mood though.
As for Preston, they were shite, a bottom half finish is possible unless they improve alot.
Hey mate glad to see your boys get a good win. Im glad Croft had a good performance, well a bit relieved actually after saying he would be a good signing i didnt want him to start poorly. How did Hucks play ?
Yeah you need a target man, Sutton, McLeod or someone who will benefit from Crofts crosses, i read a few days ago Worthington said he still has some money left so hopefully you could get someone in.
Were there many PNE fans there ? i bet your happy to see Ipswich having a poor start ?
I agree with you about PNE, and if they lose Nugent they are really in trouble.
