Initial impressions
Dykes did everything correct their keeper just made a good save.That goes in we win
Preston pressed Rangers welli such that we could not get out at times.
Their tactic of lots of men high caused us problems,Dickie caught on the ball.
Was it because we were tired and passed slowly ?,maybe
was it a tactic that would have worked last week.Passing was off the boil so probably mental tiredness.I would say that basically we didi not win because we did not have enough possession and without that did not get the chance to create opportunities
Apparently their defence is suspect.
Not against crosses where we have not worked out how to give Dykes or Austin anything with their defence set for crosses.Crosses have to be exact to create something and they were not.I watched Athletico Madrid use six defenders in a line )ie no space) and i felt it was like that for Dykes and austin,They looked outnumbered.Preston had four in a line
Crossing is a dieing art at the top level.It only really works if pace has caused opposition to turn and run at pace to defend towards their own goal ,eg Kanes goal v Bournemouth.Against a set defence I think we are better off varying it a lot like the Dykes chance
Warburton appears to know that,Not sure the Team had an alternative in their heads.Still point up North is worth a lot |  | | |  |

I was quite impressed with Preston first half, they blocked the space in front of the back 4 well so Chair was never in the game and they had a threat going forward. Ben Whiteman looked a good player for them.
We were a lot better start of the second half which stopped then for throwing too many forward as we had more of a threat. |  | | |

One thing to remember is we've gained eleven points on them since 9th January. There's still a way to go to get consistency, but I'm not surprised we're a bit mentally tired. |  | | |

Well, we've had the fewest games hence being back 2/3 games on most teams, so this isn't going to get better. I was surprised that we used so few subs, especially since we really seem to have some great options. Albert seems criminally underused given he seems to play well in every cameo. |  | | |

Up North, Midweek & in the p1ssing rain has never been a good place for us.
Biggest disappointment for me, was Kane in their half, who, as I recall, in approx. 20+ attempts failed to find another red shirt. The Sky commentators knew it and, to be fair, he knew it. A shame as he’d assisted brilliantly in both goals v Brentford & scored the winner Saturday. Hopefully, a blip. | | | |

I guess it is very tempting for a manager to stick with a winning team and I'm sure as a player while you are winning you want to play, but we looked very tired last night
But still think we had the best of the chances and IMO Dykes should have scored at least one of those chances. It really is not happening for that lad.
By and large I think a well fought point is fair though PNE looked the better team. Onwards to Brum on Saturday. Another hard game that. | | | |

Isn't it the law these days that we put the nail in the coffin of failing managers? I don't mind if you lose to Norwich, Millwall, Luton, Bournemouth or Preston, but if you lose to QPR, then you're finished! | | | |

I wouldn't wish it on the bloke, nix, but he is a bit of a footballing anti - Christ.* If we win on Saturday, if he's not already in the deep stuff, he will be.
*Maybe a bit harsh. | |

Maybe the biggest factor was the weather. Well done both teams for making a decent game of it but it was pouring well before the kick off and continued through the match and way into the night.
I’m happy with a point |  |

Not sure their keeper knew much about Dykes early effort. He was looking the other way as the ball hit his leg !! | | | |

He did what a keeper is supposed to do in that situation, spread yourself. He did and he got lucky. | |
