Championship play off semi final 2nd leg 7.45pm Monday 8th May Deepdale
Even though I felt we were hard done by in the first Leg I still think we are in with an even chance of going through to the final in a couple of weeks. We will of course have fewer supporters at the game than they had at ER but the 3,000 there will make enough noise. I expect them to come at us early on and we should defiantly do the same back to them and get at them early. I would prefer KB to go with a 4-4-2 for this game with depending on fitness, Hulse and Cresswell up front (if not Cress then Blake), Derry( if fit), Bakke, Stone and Lewis in Midfield and the same defense as in the first leg, I would also possibly play a 4-5-1 and bring Miller in for Cresswell leaving Hulse up front being supported by Miller, Stone and Lewis at every opportunity. They are likely to go with the team that trotted out at ER meaning 4-3-3 and I honestly think we have the advantage over them in both attack and midfield but they are definitely a better defensive unit which means we have to try and get at them and provoke them into some rash challenges and get their central defenders booked early on, do that and we have an even better chance of winning. I am starting to get nervous again but at least the Whites know what to expect at their place and a few refereeing decisions in our favour would not go amiss this time. Overall I am confident we can do it but it is likely to take longer than 90 minutes. Prediction: PNE 1 v Leeds United 1 after 90 minutes Leeds to do them in extra time. Come on you Whites!!!!!
