Re: ARTICLE: A superb Turf Moor afternoon for the under-21s
Is Westley the son of the former Preston manager? He certainly seems to know where the net is just like Mellon at Morecambe. Sounds as though Lewis Richardson is fulfilling promise too. That's 3 young footballers heading in the right direction seemingly. All very good news for the club.

Long time ago but I recall we just got better and better as the game progressed. When you look at Wolves 'front five' and they were hardly in the game it highlights just what a complete performance it was. As you say, Frank Casper was at the very top of his form, orchestrating from midfield allied t...

Re: Square pegs in round holes
Perhaps the worst defeat I've seen for a long time. The 20 mins. or so either side of half time were appalling. They looked like they would score every time they attacked. Our passing was poor and ball retention even worse. 2-5 and a proper mauling.
