Will this misery ever end, lines uttered by Celia Johnson in Brief Encounter, I had not realised that the actress had been a North End fan, still pointless the Whites head to West London to take on Jimmy Floyd's QPR on Saturday.
Given the decent but unlucky result on Tuesday North end hope to break their duck but have a feeling that this again will be a fruitless trip.
Rangers had started well but came up short at Barnsley last night losing 3-2 and having a player sent off. Hassellbaink seems to have started to turn the club around and looks to have a chance of at least a play off spot this season. Looking at the squad they appera tpo be a team of giants with 11 players at least 6ft2inches tall, so they may have a bit of aerial dominance.
Both games ended in draws last season, with North End drawing 0-0 in a game were chances were at a premium, whilst the game at Deepdale ended 1-1. on that night the giant German Polter caused North End a host of problems and he has started the season well scoring a couple of goals. What is noticeable is that Rngers have had four penalties this season already in the league and have not missed one with Polter scoring one and Chery bagging three. Free kicks around the box will need to be avoided as Chery hasd a wand of a left foot.
Hall will be suspended after getting two yellows last night, new signings Cousins, Bidwell and Ngbakoto all played at Barnsley. They have a strong squad this season and could go close.
North End I suspect will be unchanged and will have to improve on their one shot on target statistics from Tuesday. Cannot see any movement on the transfer front before Saturday therefore still will not have a right back.
As I said still pointless but as ever optimistic, no cricket this week, so 9.58am train from Preston, senior citizen rail card will be used, first class seat not sitting with the prolls, a trip on the tube, what a way to spend a Saturday, bring it on.
QPR last three DWL
Next three Rochdale H, Wigan A, Blackburn H
PNE last three WLL
Next three Oldham H, Ipswich A Barnsley H
