A good start to the season has become just an OK as defeat against QPR means City only added another 5 points from the 5 games between the two international breaks.

A half time advantage was allowed to slip in the second period and the referee played his part by missing a clear push on McCrorie by Smyth as he headed in for the winner and then in the dying seconds a two handed push in the QPR box on Borges which, unless you're us, would normally see a spot kick given even though it wasn't denying a goalscoring opportunity.

DaveP debates the action with Paul Hunt & Dave Tovey as well as assessing City's chances in a tough run after the break with little hope of having any of the injured first teamers back and ready for action.

Although City didn't win, yet again the fans were treated to an exciting game of football where both sides went at it full pelt for the entire 90 minutes.

Any concerns about being without Jason Knight were quashed as Zak Vyner moved to a midfield role and showed that might be where he plays in the latter part of this season if the fitness of McNally, Dickie & Atkinson is assured. Randell showed once again what a fine acquisition he has been.

The only blip on the night was an atrocious refereeing performance from John Busby.

DaveP discusses a broadly entertaining for a 0-0 encounter a Deepdale with Neil Sutton & Dave Tovey.

The trio rue missed opportunities by Anis Mehmeti and the impact of losing Knight for an unspecified time due to injury.
