Can’t see us scoring today

burnley007 · Post by **burnley007** » Sat Oct 05, 2024 1:04 pm

Brownhill is a bit ****.
His passing is so negative.

If he didn't score goals he wouldn't be anywhere near the team.

BobSykes · Post by **BobSykes** » Sat Oct 05, 2024 1:05 pm

The potential is there to see for us, encouragingly, but it really needs to gel soon though. We had the luxury of a 2 horse race two seasons ago, plainly won't be the case this time.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Sat Oct 05, 2024 1:08 pm

The passing is really poor.

cockneyclaret · Post by **cockneyclaret** » Sat Oct 05, 2024 1:08 pm

Seems we're playing 4-6-0

We still wouldn't score another if this was the previous game

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Sat Oct 05, 2024 1:09 pm

A decent last 10 has seen us get on top.

I just can't see where the goals are coming from.

I'm not trying to pile on Foster but this system isn't his forte and I feel he is wasted. Desperate for a presence in the middle.

NickBFC · Post by **NickBFC** » Sat Oct 05, 2024 1:11 pm

Big let off. We have been awful.

BobSykes · Post by **BobSykes** » Sat Oct 05, 2024 1:11 pm

Gone from uninspiring to rank poor. Get to half time please then Flemming.

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Sat Oct 05, 2024 1:12 pm

Completely sh1te this today.

Brownhill off
Fleming on

claret2018 · Post by **claret2018** » Sat Oct 05, 2024 1:12 pm

I can’t help but feel we need a big lad up front. Someone to bully defenders and mix it up a bit.

NickBFC · Post by **NickBFC** » Sat Oct 05, 2024 1:12 pm

I'd also get Roberts on if he's fit enough.

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Sat Oct 05, 2024 1:12 pm

Despite being on top. Brady could have scored there. Then Mccan should have scored, too.

We could be 3 down.

How many clear chances have we created? Maybe 1.

Blyclaret · Post by **Blyclaret** » Sat Oct 05, 2024 1:12 pm

This is not good.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Sat Oct 05, 2024 1:13 pm

Bloody hell they're queuing up.

Safron · Post by **Safron** » Sat Oct 05, 2024 1:13 pm

4th game in a row that we have been so uninspiring but got points, should be behind here very lucky so far

You're absoltely right.

Someone who actually holds possession somwhere up front. Someone to aim at.

This system absolutely needs one.

I thought Browny was doing well both going forward and at the back. Offered a lot more than Foster has.

willsclarets · Post by **willsclarets** » Sat Oct 05, 2024 1:15 pm

Again, Foster is not a lone striker. Hannibal or Brownhill has to make way for Flemming. Especially at home against lesser sides.

That wouldn't be difficult.

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Sat Oct 05, 2024 1:16 pm

I can't stand listening to Hinchcliff.

Criticises Humphrey for going to ground....as the defender grabs a couple of handsful of his shirt.

willsclarets · Post by **willsclarets** » Sat Oct 05, 2024 1:16 pm

Foster did well there to be fair. Solid cf play

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Sat Oct 05, 2024 1:17 pm

Foster was brilliant there, on the half-way line chesting, shielding and laying it off.

Didn't then bust a gut to get in the box.

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Sat Oct 05, 2024 1:17 pm

Foster has been constantly coming deep with Brownhill running on beyond him again, but then seems to take an age to get himself into the box.

NickBFC · Post by **NickBFC** » Sat Oct 05, 2024 1:18 pm

A rank bad half. As poor as we've been this season.

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Sat Oct 05, 2024 1:19 pm

We are mega lucky to be going on here 0-0. We have to get this together.

willsclarets · Post by **willsclarets** » Sat Oct 05, 2024 1:19 pm

Parker needs an absolute rocket up them at HT

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Sat Oct 05, 2024 1:19 pm

Could, probably should, be going in a couple down here.
They've looked much more likely to score than us.
Hoping for a better 2nd half.

That’s the whole problem with Foster.. his intelligence or in game IQ Is so poor that he’s largely anonymous. The most important trait for any striker is knowing where to be at specific points of the game.

Sgt. Pepper · Post by **Sgt. Pepper** » Sat Oct 05, 2024 1:19 pm

Esteve basically covering for the rest of the back four, and Foster offering virtually nothing.
Hannibal off for Flemming, and Jay on for Foster. Also don't like Egan-Riley at CB, with Humphreys at RB.

Sheedyclaret · Post by **Sheedyclaret** » Sat Oct 05, 2024 1:20 pm

My word that was a painful watch

Lip · Post by **Lip** » Sat Oct 05, 2024 1:20 pm

Awful first half from the Clarets today. Should be three down. Hopefully things can only get better.

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Sat Oct 05, 2024 1:20 pm

Worst I’ve seen all season Sunderland aside but there were mitigating factors there. Miles off it.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Sat Oct 05, 2024 1:20 pm

Dreadful first 45.

ClaretFelix · Post by **ClaretFelix** » Sat Oct 05, 2024 1:20 pm

A very tough watch. No intensity, pressing and lacking the basics most of the time, with simple 5 and 10 yard passes going astray.

CaptainClaret · Post by **CaptainClaret** » Sat Oct 05, 2024 1:20 pm

This has 0-1 written all over it.
Changes and a wake up call at half time needed

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Sat Oct 05, 2024 1:20 pm

I was thinking what a good half E-R had had but was waiting for his mistake.

There is was, to finish the half, sloppily gave them a chance.

In truth, we're lucky to be level. They've created 3 or 4 reasonable chances and we've created very little.

Blyclaret · Post by **Blyclaret** » Sat Oct 05, 2024 1:20 pm

We should be 0 3 by now. Serious changes needed. This is a poor Preston team. But we make them look like Barcelona.

Greekclaret · Post by **Greekclaret** » Sat Oct 05, 2024 1:20 pm

We have been absolutely shocking. How PNE aren’t winning this I have no idea. Need changes at HT. take off Brownhill and Mejbri. Put on Flemming and Laurent

It's a very good job Esteve is in this team today.

Well this is ******* awful viewing. We are so pedestrian.

gandhisflipflop · Post by **gandhisflipflop** » Sat Oct 05, 2024 1:23 pm

It needs Fleming on for hannibal and Roberts on for Humphrey’s so he can help koleosho

scamander · Post by **scamander** » Sat Oct 05, 2024 1:23 pm

Our players are very isolated when they get the ball. There's a huge gap between Foster and the midfield in the centre of the pitch, I realise we are looking to go wide but they are forcing us down cul de sacs there.

We need someone in that space to at least create options. Foster is being asked to play a role he's not suited for.

THEWELLERNUT70 · Post by **THEWELLERNUT70** » Sat Oct 05, 2024 1:23 pm

We've been poor so far

The midfield 3 is a big issue imo, it simply doesn't work with that personnel and badly effects how we attack

bfcjg · Post by **bfcjg** » Sat Oct 05, 2024 1:23 pm

Midfield and attack not linking up, when we do the final ball is awful.

Neil · Post by **Neil** » Sat Oct 05, 2024 1:24 pm

First half observations.
What's happened to Cullen? His instinct is to go sideways or backwards every time he gets the ball, even when we're on the front foot.

Preston have 4-5 men in the box when they get it out wide. We're lucky if Foster is in there.

Does Koleosho look up? Head down and runs straight into three defenders just trying to plow through them.

We really need a proper number 10 on the pitch.

Esteve probably the only player to come out of that half with any credit.

KernowHouseClaret · Post by **KernowHouseClaret** » Sat Oct 05, 2024 1:24 pm

Foster will never be a lone striker, he drops deep and needs a foil to play alongside him.
He does the hard work, holding up the ball, layoffs etc but then needs someone to give him time to get in the box.
I'd love to see Foster and Flemming together but who take take off?
Personally think Brownhill and Hannibal have been OK today. Hannibal probably slightly more attacking than Brownhill but one of them may have to make way.
Koleosho has been ok but, as usual, final ball has been shocking.
Still lots of positives, still a work in progress, but we need to start creating chances and more importantly finishing those chances. We won't with this current system
