Syteanric 1 Posted August 10, 2007 so said munby...so Preston will be aware we atre missing players throuhg a bug but wont know who they are... why dont we come out and name 3 players who are fit and healthy so Preston devise their whole game plan around 3 players they believe wont play.. only to realise that those players are actually playing and fit and healthy.. and it was other players the bug affected...Cleverer Norwich... cleverer.... everyother team uses injury smoke screensjas :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
7rew 0 Posted August 10, 2007 Probably because outright lies don''t work very for very long. Once people notice you lying then they don''t believe you.If you stretch the truth (say 3 of the first team are out when you meanthe first team squad for example) you get almost the same advantage nowand it will still work in the future.

Cantiaci Canary 556 Posted August 10, 2007 Lying ... ooh how clever!I''m sure that Preston couldn''t care less who will be playing on Saturday - they know that we are Huckerby+Earnshaw-less and have spent practically zero in the transfer market. They will be licking their lips at the prospect of three pretty secure points to get yet another promotion propelled season underway.Rather than lying about the sick players perhaps it would be cleverer to sign a decent centre back or two?

I give you that Sheff Utd, Charlton maybe plus one or two others have spent big, but so have we in relative terms for the division. I know we haven''t spent all that we could, perhaps should have done, but there are plenty of teams in this division who would love to have spent what we have.

They won''t be bothered about a thirty year old and an unknown Czech upfront, two half fit central midfield players who cost little and a new goalkeeper sitting infront of a shakey defence. Do you really think Preston fans will be losing any sleep tonight? They may have been if we had spent what we have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Preston won''t be bothered about who is wearing a yellow shirt - they will be concentrating solely on what their players will need to do and so should we be - rather than playing dim-witted pranks.
