Again lads, you joke about Preston speed, he is a lumberer.

He ain't slow at all.

I think you are mixing him up with George Foster


Now don't you go dissing George! The best centre half, bar none, to grace our Amber shirt in my lifetime.


Never did the old centre backs adage of 'the first 10 yards are in the head' apply to anyone more than it did to George. He'd still be able to read the game out of most of the strikers in this league.

I'm guessing some didn't go to the Lincoln game - he had their pacy black lad in his back pocket, he's got great speed for a defender

A deputy for Bishop is far, far, far, far more important, far more important, infinitely more important. I can't stress enough how more important it is we get a deputy for Bishop!

I don't get all this talk about the centre backs being in bad form, it's frankly absurd! We had a bad day at Carlisle against a strong, in form side and Yeovil was just one those days. Overall, Pearce, Sweeney and Preston have been simply outstanding.
