I was also at the game and agree with all of Tucksters comments.
I never arrive at the ground early and once inside the Jarrold stand was told by a very helpful steward that technology would not let us out an in again so no more beer or anything to eat so had to go from breakfast until 6.30 pm without food.
We did not know about the area outside the ground selling food and beer. Our fault.
We did meet up a midday in our usual pre match pub so had a reduced beer intake and consequently able to make more comments on the game. Sadly I was bored for 90 minutes whilst waiting for the game to commence.
Tuckster. You are being very kind about the performance.
I said at kick off lets go for it as have fans backing and must make a good start. I look at clock and we did not touch ball for first 57 seconds.
We lacked strength, pace, cohesion and in many cases effort.
Preston did not really need to do a great deal of homework. DF never changes tactics and they pressed to stop our poor passing out from the back so it was often hit long and their huge centre half missed nothing at all.
In contrast 3 or 4 passes by Preston open us up easily and in particularly on our left hand side they created several chances.
Even after Pukkis very late effort which may have hit bar or was saved by Rudd ( not watched replay ) Preston still had a couple of chances to win the game.
DF needs to get this sorted out soon as when we play a better side there will be major problems.
As for the 1000 fans, A mixture as Tuckster says and if the team had played well they may well have been louder support but we were so poor it made the supporters wanting to sing go silent in long periods.
I was different and a good experience and could be a way forward.
