Still No Luck- Preston North End 1 Watford 1

It was said on Tuesday night by a bloke in front of me how nothing is going for us currently and that it will probably cost us our place in the Championship.  I'm not sure luck alone can be blamed but its true that we haven't had any at all recently.

Todays reports again tell that we should've had a penalty and of a goal disallowed.  Nevertheless, its still an unexpected and welcome result.  Its disappointing, of course, that Palace and Wednesday matched it and that Plymouth won.  Our game with them next Saturday now becomes far more significant than we would've wished.

Still no sign of Ryan Noble today.  As Cowie wasn't on the doubtful starters list beforehand I guess he's seen as being partly to blame for Tuesday's second half debacle.   Moons was saying on 3CR how tired Helguson looked.  Good that Will Buckley got what will hopefully be the first of many goals this season.

With DeMerit missing today, Taylor now injured and Lansbury serving a two match ban, Monday's game has become slightly more interesting just to see what sort of team we put out.  Victory will almost put West Brom up so they'll arrive in party mode.  It would be so lovely to be the poopers but I can't really see it.  In the other games Palace are home to Preston, Plymouth welcome Middlesbrough and Wednesday host Bristol City.
