Can he play CM??

This is giving me Juventus v Roma?!?!

I was at the 5-1 pumping as well, as I lived and worked about half an hour from Deepdale and sat there in the home end with my Preston-supporting mates - bloody awful night! To me, the whole thing reeks of us trying to be too clever by half and thinking that we know something that no other club does.

He's horribly exposed without Romeu, and Diallo clearly isn't the same class of player. It was criminal of the club to let OR go without a replacement

That was absolutely diabolical. Edozie was the only positive today and he got hooked for fucking Adam Armstrong. Struggling to take anything positive out of that performance and can't see where the points are going to come from. Jones massively out of his depth. No tactics, no game management, utter shit. Cut the losses and get shot of him now.

Get out!!

Drove past the stadium this morning and the team coach was parked up there. Am guessing they're jetting off to Spain today then?

Out of interest, anyone know what he's done in terms of moving out, leaving the country etc? Wonder if he'll take an early retirement now or go for one more job....

When Adkins came, we weren't in the relegation zone and gambling on our Premiership survival

Depressing that keeping us up right now would seem like a hugely successful appointment. Couldn't be more underwhelmed if I tried but you're here now so don't fuck it up.

There have been brains in the background???

WTAF??

I'm feeling fucking inspired already

I read a BBC article earlier where he seemed very non-committal and gave the impression that it was a long way from a done deal. I'm still hoping this is the case. Don't want a Stoke failure anywhere near us (and yes I know Strachan took Coventry down but he had Premiership experience and actually a playing career of note). Are our band of internationals going to be looking at Jones and thinking 'he's the guy to help me advance my career'? I couldn't be more underwhelmed and it feels like a throwback to the cheapskate RL days. Wholly depressing when you consider the proven calibre of manager that Villa and Wolves have managed to attract. All for giving young homegrown talent a chance at the right time, a la Nige, but our Premiership survival is at stake. This is not the time to be taking a risky punt and hoping for the best.

I think we all do...

Can he play up front??

He's not been the only one

Absolutely dire. Whole of midfield gone awol. Cannot see where a goal is going to come from based on this. Making Palace look like Brazil

Ralph looks absolutely clueless and out of ideas

Bet Zaha is looking forward to going up against Lyanco.....😆😆😆

This. He's grossly inconsistent and while he was very good yesterday, we need him to turn up far more often. We can't afford to carry passengers.

Ely MotM? Granted, that was his best game for us but Lyanco all day long

Walcott. FFS

GTFI!!!!
