Absolute spot on.
Gave far too much space last night in his defensive duties.
However will improve and a fantastic find.
First goal what a strike.
Totally agree. The reason we conceeded 5 last night was because our midfield weren't tracking back effectively and were giving so much space to theirs. |

But that's been the reason all season - so nothing is going to change at Wembley, unfortunately.
The question is: can we outscore PNE?

not all season....since N Thompson got injured the problem has become worse.
A ball retention is worse as well, previously we defended by having 70% of the ball, our possession numbers have not hit that figure in some time now.

What I wonder is not for the first time we seemed to let them cross into the box by standing off their wide men and watching.
Is this a tactic that didn't pay off, or down to tiredness, or being charitable naivety?
Genuine question, as its happened quite a bit now.
---------------------------
Can we outscore Preston - if it was a game of world cup doubles against a neutral defence then maybe, we have 4 goalscoring forwards when they are firing.
Us against them, if its as open as yesterday then probably not. But its the final, anything can happen. Its not even always the best team that wins (see QPR), and there is nothing to say we couldn't be the best team. I think they are favourites, but that's all on paper.

I can see Gladwin filling a Lampard style role as hi can't track for toffee but is truly coming on leaps and bounds going forward. A poor mans Waddle. If he keeps this up he'll bring us as much as Luongo looks set to.
