Apologies for early thread, but a lot on for the weekend . I think Saturday will be a case of just checking my phone for updates. Anyway, I'm going for us to make it six points out of six, with a narrow, hard-fought 2-1 victory. Willock and Chaz. |  | | |  |

Scruffy 3 points but very concerned about the form of Johansen,opponents go past him at will as his mobility looks so poor. |
Johansen does not look as good this season | | | |

Really? He was running around all over the place as far as I could see | | | |

Fantastic team spirit. Another 3 points gained from a losing position. Well worth getting soaked for.
Also, for the first time in two seasons I’ve managed to predict the correct result in the prediction league. Happy days!
Off home now to dry off |  | | |

We have always put far too much on Johansen's shoulders to knit the side together. He's still doing more than alright, and if he hasn't hit the same consistent heights as before it's not like it's a big mystery why with pre season and knocks etc. |  | | |

I agree about both Moses and Johansen, who I thought was poor today for the most part. For a club captain and international midfielder, he just doesn't cut it too much of the time - slow, uncreative, and doesn't seem to have a higher gear any more. Though perhaps others will see it/him/them differently.
Today was a triumph of tenacity over technique - we absolutely spunked spirit, outshat the shithousers, and played the finnicky and feel-good bits of football we could - Dickie was the cavalry leader, Chair the cheerleader in chief, and Lyndon the dyke's vagina. |  |

Despite the scoreline I thought that was one of the poorest games of football I've been to in ages. Dreadful shÃthousery from Preston, really poor refereeing, and loads or mistakes made by us too. But it was a real scrappy authentic championship affair, and we dug out the win. Pleasing albeit not all that entertaining. Well done Rs! |
3-2s are never poor. It’s semantics, but that was a fantastic game, even if it was full of mistakes and sh!thousery. Was entertained throughout, went through the wringer. Really don’t care if it wasn’t ‘beautiful football’ all game |  |

I don't always stay up for the overnight games (as sometimes really crap times in Australia)
However the government have allowed me one game this month (joke) and I am delighted to have watched the lads win and have had at least 9 Peroni celebrating this significant victory. Thanks and Good Night (or should I say Good Morning as 5am here)

Agree mate. Cut the obvious defensive mistakes out and someone will get a hiding this season. If we do, and with the return of the injured lads, we will be just fine. |  |

Wasn't up to usual standards but he's far better watching him live than on a stream you notice alot more
Best mid we've had since Wilkins IMO | | | |

Johansen currently has to cover an awful lot of space by himself. Amos and Field should help with that after the break. | | | |

I've got to say, we're top six without EVER hitting the levels we know we are capable of. We ain't far off top two. IMO. |  | | |

RE criticisms of Johansen and the ref.
I thought Johansen started slowly for us after he joined on loan in January and it took him a while before he really got going. Why? Because he wasn't fit and I'm not convinced he's fit now.
At least the ref didn't give a foul against Dykes for a third. Most refs would have seen the defender go down and automatically blown for it. |  | | |

Yep. We have to appreciate Johansen is part pillar part foundation. What we build around and eventually on top of him will be down to him as much as anything he does individually (and I repeat he's still not half bad now, just not the two/three players in one we're demanding him to be every week). | | | |

How good was that?
At 1-2 I had a feeling we’d get back in the game. Despite our two costly blips we were still by far the better team. I would have been so disappointed to lose to that awful Preston side.
Warbs was right in the post match interview, our fitness is looking really good. It really showed towards the end, completely in control and it was the same against Birmingham. They just seem to have that extra 10% in the tank.
On a separate note, I sat in a different area today and the fella behind was non stop moaning. I thought his head was going to explode ever time we misplaced a pass! Unbelievable! I can’t even begin to imagine what he would have been like the past few seasons. [Post edited 3 Oct 2021 11:21]

He's only just returned after recovering from the coma he went into having witnessed Armand Traore's Christmas jumper. |  |
