Nobby's Notebook - Preston NE

Hi Sportsfans and welcome to a controversial installment of my ever popular Scouting Feature 👍

After only a single point from Wilders opening 2 games against so called 'lesser teams', posters are eagerly awaiting the January transfer window to weed out some of Neil Warnocks 'Jobs for the Boys' players.

Meanwhile, in South Yorkshire the Sheff United supporters on their forum are hoping Jokanovic can get rid of 'Wilder's dross' in the same window.....
Ironic Huh?

Anyway a controversial choice for me in this game but I've chosen a Preston player who I've liked for ages and surprisingly didn't start.

However, he came on and completely changed the match for them in that last crazy 15 minutes with some midfield nous. Immediately involved in winning the corner for their equaliser.
Nobby's Choice No.11 Daniel Johnson.
This lad has played well against us every time I've seen him. How the recruitment team haven't tried to sign him I don't know. A tenacious attacking midfielder with an eye for goal, just what we need...
Age 29 with 47 goals in 250 Apps for Preston.

Pretty impressive goal return from midfield....He's in the Notebook 📓 but to be honest he's been in it for a while 👍🔥

Andrew Hughes is the one for me 29yo left back who can play central defence (out of contract in the summer)
 
Thought No.2 Van Den Berg was the pick of their defenders last night and the centre forward who scored the winner was a threat..No.19 Riis Jakobsen 👍
Riis Jakobsen £1.35mfrom a Danish club summer 2020 he's having a decent season, Sporar should be way ahead of him imo

Sepp van den Berg 19yo been on loan from Liverpool the past two seasons (I don't like his face) Liverpool have some canny defenders on the fringe of the team VDB wouldn't be one I would go for tbh.


Ben Whiteman is another that I'd have signed. 25yo midfielder from Doncaster signed in January for £1.6m

Might be worth doing one on Ched Evans, and his ability to appear invisible to defenders when stood in the Penalty area on corners....
 
If we had been any good none of the Preston players would have made an impression last night. I thought they were quite poor overall. We should have sealed the game up early in the second half. Take our chances we should have won by 3. We need a goalscorer and fast.

Goals win games, we don't seem to have the players to take chances.
Will January come too late to turn it around?
We need 3 points at Huddersfield, on form it won't happen, with 2 points from 15, our form is poor, but We live In hope.
 
I’m doing my own things away from the internet and also watching my beloved team Derby County and England. Is that ok with you?

I’ve no idea what happened to Boro Legend so I’ll leave that to you to ask moderator on here. Good luck.

I’m looking forward to read your ‘notebook’ in February. 🐏👍

Great you've been doing stuff away from the internet I did that myself for a few weeks on this board 👍
Last I heard Boro Legend was working in Woolworths but that's going back a couple of months now...
My Notebook feature is very popular, my last one had over 10 responses (not all me)
Kind Regards
