Preston is famous for many things, the first KFC, the first Motorway, the word ‘teetotal’ comes from Preston, which I as your host totally agree with. It’s also a fact that the highest amount of bellends in the country come from Preston, oh, but think, yes bellends are made in Preston, the very ends of bells in church spires ( or lofts ) that make the noise that bloody annoy you on Sundays. That’s why they have a church with the tallest spire in England, to fit all the bellends in.
The home ends at Preston are also full of bellends.
 Six players unavailable for Swansea City’s away clash at PNE 27th Aug 2021 08:00Swansea City travel to Lancashire today with a number of players unavailable for selection. Kyle Joseph won’t play this weekend as he is in Gloucestershire finalising his loan to Cheltenham Town. Korey Smith and Liam Walsh are also still out, but the good news is Connor Roberts is around two weeks away from upping his training regime. Swans fans could see him back by mid to late September.  0
On the day tickets will be available to purchase from the away ticket office at Deepdale.
The away ticket office is located at the Bill Shankly Kop, adjacent to the away turnstiles.

 Russell Martin agrees entirely, the swans were shockingly bad ! 28th Aug 2021 20:15Pulling no punches whatsoever Swansea City manager Russell Martin stated post match his team just didn’t compete anywhere on the pitch. A comprehensive display by Preston North End including pace and pressing in the right areas put paid to any thoughts of a swans victory after an entertaining first fifteen minutes. 0
Nothing to follow.

Over-elaboration in midfield just piles on the pressure on ourselves. To be fair Preston are pressing well and Swans are not skilful enough to overcome it. There’s a big hole where our attacking midfield should be. Pirao getting no service. Preston superior. Swans second best. |
What a load of rubbish.
Conceded 3 awful goals. |  |

What has Cullen contributed? |
An assist and a shot on target. Practically our star man after Benda's howlers. | | | |

Patterson receives the ball in promising positions in the opposition half, only to take an age to lift his head and spot somewhere to pass. By the time he does, he's often already dispossessed. Surely he was not this bad at his previous club? |
When I had a rant about the manager a couple of weeks ago, I wrote I'm not even sure if Martin knows what a decent footballer looks like. Paterson looks like a squad league 1 player to me. | | | |

Cullen is not good enough needs to go out on loan.
Martin talks a good job but we are poor by anyones standards. | |

This will continue to be the case too until we put a permanent fix in.
Game plans against us are easy. Just press and we will inevitably give it away and then panic and give fouls away.
Was the same against Stoke. |  |

Martine needs to get a grip on this game before it becomes embarrassing. PNE totally bossing us on and off the pitch.
No tactical interventions as yet, when it's crying out for clear and obvious changes, our midfield is weak, our defence is vulnerable on the left.
Let's hope 'the gaffer comes out with a proper gameplan 2nd half' (LT10).
. |
Bossing us on AND OFF the pitch? What are you on about? What are they doing off the pitch?
The 3rd goal, unless Benda hasn't touched him and that's what he' s arguing about then just what is he up to. Then the goal, he obviously didn't set the wall properlybut still he should have saved it, I think.
I didn't see the first half but from what I've seen so far in the second, we just haven't turned up.
Earlier today I was talking about Bidwell and his habit of drifting from where he should be. Would we be better off without wing backs and just get 2 proper wingers? 4-2-3-1?
All those critics just remember this is a different team again today, a different defence. Until the window shuts, until Martin knows what his best team is, we'll see this. It's painful maybe but hopefully there'll be a gain at the end of it. | |

Agree completely. Bennet is a liability Cooper lacks pace Bidwell Manning are much of the same type of one footed player that are easily nullified.
Hopefully soon we will see what RM is going to do as we have not got wingbacks good enough at present. |  | | |

Where was the game management for the first and 2nd goals.
This performance is as nieve as I have seen from a Swansea team in a long while.
Getting completely over run it's going to be a long season.
But that's what we deserve the pi$$ing about all summer with Cooper was crazy. | |

I just don't like our shape. The wingbacks so high they can only be played in behind, and two 10s behind the striker has not bee working for us except against lower league/u18s sides. Never seen another team do it. Can't say I'm surprised. | | | |

Cullen in behind Piroe, I dont get it. Cullen is not going to create anything. He should be upfront playing off Piroe.
Bennett can go, when we have that choice! We just look so disjointed. Are the players doing what the manager wants or are they going their own way? | |

The guy is a fraud inept set up today with an ultra defensive midfield setup which totally backfired | |

More boring than anything I watched last season.
If a manager of the opposition hasn’t bothered to watch any of our previous games they suss us out after 10 mins.
Press high don’t let us play out & we are fecked.
I’ll give the gaffer another half a dozen games to improve on this. |  | | |

If the players were actually going their own way - we might well have been winning. | | | |

We have a shape ?
Cant believe we look worse in 2nd half.
No positive change made.
Disappointing so far today, luckily the international break is coming at a very good time for us. | | | |

We are regressing at a rate of knots. And Martin seems all at sea. Tactically naïve, inflexible tactics, bizarre subbing.
Worse still, no hwyl, which we've had in spades. Our edge.

At what minute are we going to start playing possession football, now we have lulled Preston into the false impression that we have no shape or plan, to counter their pressing. |
We have had 60-65% most of the game. But again having possession and having possession in dangerous and contested areas are two very different things.
To play effective possession based football you really need some quality, quality players in key positions. Otherwise you do what we, do and while it may work in parts it will invariably break down and present opportunities to the opposition.
I think people are looking back on what we did before and thinking it can be replicated by coaching. The truth is we had the spine of a Premier League team playing in the lower divisions, we were technically superior to almost everyone we came across. This is a completely different kettle of fish. | |
