Bad time to play Preston

Wed Feb 16, 2011 11:06 pm

With Scunny opening up a 5 point gap between them and bottom side Preston it could be the worst time to play Preston who'll be scrapping for their lives to stay in touch with rest of the league. Who are their nest two games against? none other than QPR then Notts Forest.

you would hope that preston wouldnt lose both matches, i mean they have to pick up points at some stage. just 1 draw, against forest preferably, would be fantastic

Would agree with you ash.

To be honest we have a shocking record against Preston at Deepdale over the years in general but I fancy our class to overcome them. They are at home so you would think they would have to come out & play in front of they're home fans rather than park the proverbial bus & if they do we will muller them. But as we've seen this week its a funny old league.

How do you fancy your chances at the City ground? I'd say it has a draw written all over it.

Either a draw or someone will nick it at the death, we are two teams who tend to switch off at the end

Forest are not actually that good a team I thought. We just didn't perform on the day & I've seen much better this season in, Portsmouth, Cardiff, Burnley, Watford & Leeds so if you are on form you can put one over on them although I'm hoping for a draw from a selfish point of view :D

i think it might be a touch to early for these teams to start scrapping for points,,,, with ,what, 18 games left?, there managers are telling them, we can do it, we can still, do this and that, i think about 7 games from the end of season do these teams start scrapping. thats when they realise there going down maybe,,,,,, at present, 50 odd points available the panick hasnt set in yet,,end of season there will be shock results,,,,,,,,,,,, just my way of thinking?/

What was that about straws QPR? I'm not sure you'll go up automatically with the likes of us, Forest, Leicester chasing you down. your wobbling big time!! Tricky Ipswich side next.

That wont be good as we never do well in preston and they will be fighting against relegation

Can't say I'm quaking in my boots stroake to be fair.

We have lost 3 all season compared to your what 9 or 10? What's the chance of losing the same again in the last 14 games? Slim to none would be my bet.

Yes we have very hard games coming up with Ipswich & Boro away but we've been top for the whole season bar one week so its not like we are there by fluke. We are the best team in the division the table doesn't lie so as long as we keep picking up points on the road I feel our home form will see us through.

There are alot of twists and turns ahead-personally i'd rather be in QPRs shoes as would every other club in the league.

However Leicester are on a hell of a run as are Forest. CCFCare capable of winning 7 or 8 on the bounce. Watford could come good again. Burnley, Ipswich and Hull could enter playoffs with good runs. QPR could easily lose a couple of good players to injury (as could any1).

My end of season Top 6 prediction is as follows

Forest
CCFC
QPR
Leicester
Leeds
Norwich

Oh was I right? Preston draw against top two teams at the time of my initial message. Still a bad time to play them - they'll beat somebody soon enough.
