Bez Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 (edited) Tough place to go as Alex Neil has his team well drilled for pressing football. Westwood Iorfa Lees Borner Fox Lee Luongo Bannan Odubajo Rhodes Harris Subs: Dawson Bates Palmer Pelupessy Reach FF Nuhiu Give Hutch and Fletcher a rest to avoid injury. PNE play down the right a lot so Moses can help out Iorfa. Moses also helps with a high press. Edited August 20, 2019 by Bez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's looked fitter this year than any other time since he joined us. If he's feeling a bit tired id be more tempted to let him have a day off training and go for bob about in the swimming pool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Wait and see injury news. Reach and Iorfa might be doubts. If not, picking the 18 is really tough, let alone 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bez Posted August 21, 2019 Author Share Posted August 21, 2019 In every Deepdale game in recent years, PNE man mark Bannan to stop him controlling the game. They high press us into long balls and win the midfield battle via high energy. We counter that with Lee and Luongo - high energy possession players who benefit if Bannan is marked. Harris and Odubajo high press and try to get balls into Rhodes. Nuhiu has played well against the PNE system in past years so I would bring him on late. FF has really struggled against PNE so not sure if he gets on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, tonight he never looked, #####d! Chased down his work most of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trumbullowl Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I'd rest Reach and Murphy, and bring in Lee and Luongo. But not sure how that would set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philb125 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Westwood Palmer, Lees, Borner, Fox Lee, Hutch, Luongo Reach, Fletch, Harris Solid defensive platform, high energy / tough tackling midfield and mixture of pace/work rate up top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
