Yes lads I know its a bit early and that but I'm gonna predict the score on what I know I about us and PNE if I say something wrong feel free to correct me. Before the season started I thought preston would be a tough game but while every game is tough I think PNE won't challenge us. Obviously PNE haven't had a good start but they will think they can beat us. Bradshaw will want to start and I think its Watkins who will be replaced and I know this seems quite typical but I think winnall and bradshaw will score. I dont think PNE will score but I could be wrong because we are away from home. Let's see if I'm right (I'm normally not).
We don't know who'll be coming in, but I'd be very reluctant to drop Marley. If he doesn't score himself, he messes defences up that much to make chances for others. Away from home, i think he's even more important. So Sam or Brad to get the first hour, then swap. And we'll batter em, cooerse...
Marley in my opinion is first name on team sheet He is currently Barnsleys best player There's not many players around that are as mean nasty awkward and work their socks off like Marley Watkins
Marley has 3 assists already - joint 2nd in the league with Hourihane- much more to his game than goals
I think we'll struggle away from home this season. I hope it won't be as bad as 2007-08 when we were brill at home but shocking away.. but I reckon it'll be a draw. 1-1. We won't have major beatings but it's just a concern for me. I hope we sort it because we could really push on if we can nip the poor away results in the bud.
I disagree, I think we'll win quite a few, as we have enough pace and power going forward to really damage teams on the break. We might lose quite a few as well, and I don't think we'll draw that many on the road. However, with a win being worth three draws, 15 home wins and only 7 or 8 away might well be enough for a top six place.
Agree with this; we need to be more confident away from home and start picking up points, so I predict 1-1.
