Decent signing I’d say. Experienced, free transfer. Won’t be on huge wages. Doesn’t eat too much into the funds for a striker and creativity higher up the pitch.

Decent draw for North End IF they beat Charlton, a chance to reach the fifth round. Need a strong line-up on Tuesday night.

Second half far better than the first for PNE today. Keane for Whiteman at half-time was a sub which improved us greatly. Cornell did enough to stay in for the next game. Thordarson my man of the match. Nice to see Hecky try something different with Bowler playing an hour. Fine goal by Riis.

Good point for PNE. Looked well drilled and disciplined when they didn’t have the ball, limited Stoke to very little. Better side in the second half, just lacked creativity going forward. Thordarson and Whiteman very decent. Woodman however…..

First post on here, I’m soaked to the skin after walking part of the way to Deepdale! Need a win. Solid if unspectacular starting XI.
