Preston wanted to win more than Cherries
WORRYING signs! Eddie Howe candidly admitted that he couldn’t, on the evidence of this match, see anyone staking a claim to a first team place.
Preston made 10 changes in their side beaten 5-0 last Saturday and won. Why?
They wanted to win more than we did, and had a 6’4” striker who outfought, out-thought and outmuscled our defence.
Premier League clubs will know just how to beat us.
Too often we don’t defend well enough and this puts even more pressure on the strikers to score. Need I say more?
