Poor result at Millwall and on TV. Or was it on TV so was obviously going to be a  poor result.  Phil Brown has a big job to keep belief high in the squad after losing 4-0 but it’s still there … Continue reading →

North End have played all the top teams in the last few weeks and in reality haven’t done that badly. Depressing that the new manager Phil Brown has not won a single game yet little more has been expected in … Continue reading →

PNE 0 Bristol City 4. Sounds bad yet PNE were fighting back after losing an early goal until McLaughlin had a serious injury just before half time; all the best to him.  Several new players in the squad.  Sometimes new managers … Continue reading →

Some optimism now. We all know Phil from his extravert antics at Hull, providing a lot of entertainment; singing to the crowd, keeping the players on the pitch at half-time. He did a good job there, although they seemed to … Continue reading →

Not the best start to the season. Scoring one goal in 4 games and playing 2 teams who are struggling. Interesting controversy about Portsmouth being a premium game with an entrance charge of £30. PNE need to get some money … Continue reading →

Nothing much to say, looks pretty bad. The case for the defence: It is said PNE have never done well at Swansea.  It is said PNE players are coming back from injury.  It is said it’s early yet. To use the … Continue reading →

First game of the season and PNE are in good company as Middlesbrough and Reading lost at home as well.  Do names matter though.  Last season PNE won all their opening games and in the end just managed to escape … Continue reading →
