Andy Procter

it was that system which got us into the play offs!!!!

Craney, Ryan and McConville banging 'em in from Gornell's knock backs

we simply didn't have the personnel to play owt else
Disgree Rob, we didn't really have personnel to play what were playing now, but players are adapting n fer me its far better to watch.;)
 
i'm not sure what we're playing now having only watched the Morecambe game in recent weeks, but is it not 4-4-2 with two wingers, which Grant and Devitt are? and they do a bit of wing switching so they can cut in on their preferred shooting feet?
 
Back to the original point.................. As good as Proccy was, for me personally he is a League Two player.

Make no mistake his commitment is 100%, is fitter than anybody else on the park, but he can lack that cutting edge.

Would I have him back?? 100% yes, as I believe in our division every team needs a Proccy type player in their side. Agreed with the post about Joyce, his form has dropped dramatically since Proccy left.

Will he get the time at Preston??? Probably not, which is a shame. But football is like that sometimes.

I agree 100%. This system for me produced some outstanding attacking play without doing a Keegan and making us leaky at the back. Saw a BBC article where Coley said he was inspired by Spain at the World Cup to try and implement this at Accy.

As for Proccy...well much like Mullin a player that many are appreciating only after he has gone. Given time he will come good at PNE but whether he will get that time is debateable.

Perhaps "Agent Andy" planned to come back all along and is just trying to get revenege on Mr Westley. ;)
 
Sheffield Wednesday beat Preston easily today. 2-0 flattered them. There was a cheer when Chris Holroyd came on for Preston after 84 minutes.
 
Owlszone is abuzz with some story on Sky Sports about Westley having words with some of his players after Full Time at Hillsborough.

If I heard Jeff Stelling right, the expression he used was "big confrontation" - but it sounded like the players started it ........;)
 
On radio lancs tonight Wesley said he had been told by the Shefield bench that his team had been leaked by some of the Preston players before the game, giving advantage to Shefield, trouble int mill I fear.

He really does come up witrh some rubbish. Everybody else's fault
 
Hate the man. Not the right fit for a decent club like Preston. Don't like looking for their results and hoping they've lost. Can't help it though while he's there.
 
We are urgently in need of a Procter in terms of effort!! We saw another pathetic performance from Barnett (lazy ). The player has the ability when he wants to make an effort, as in the last 20 mins today.
The way Cook is playing, we dont need a midfield,if he continues to simply boot the ball long.
We have been used to playing to feet from the back, which makes for entertaining football, so lets get back to basics please

Cook was such a good player himself, so why this shocking long ball game?

Maybe it's because of the fact that we do not have a midfield to play through?!

I thought our long ball game was very clever yesterday. Podge smartly made the most of Wimbledon's high back line on goal kicks and our wingers made a lot of the second balls. I'm sure that once Cook gets to build his side in the summer we will see more intricate tactics but for now we have to work with what we have.

Whilst i dislike the long ball,thats my conclusion, Disagree wi Tony about Barnett, Ok he was much better second half, I reckon that display will have helped his confidence, After all hes only a kid n experience will come. can remember Bobby Grant n others,who when just trying to get established, never looked that great, I can see a good future fer Barnett if he carries on learning n at some stage will make stanley a bob or two.
