Like you Swannie, I think this will be a big test for us.
Gonna be cold BB but a good win will warm the heart of your cockles.

I hope so I think you have to expect to win your home games, any dropped points is a missed opportunity.

On the one hand though a draw vs Boro doesn't seem so bad.

But Preston away feels like a game we'd struggle in at the weekend, one of those park the bus we create naff all games.

And they are good at it, not losing in general, only lost 5 of 20 Hecky, don't win either admittedly but Watford, Burnley, Sunderland, WBA, Norwich, Blackburn, no defeats.

So I'd be worried we'd drop points in our next two.

Piroe scoring 7 when his xg is less than 5 shows he has done really well and been feeding on scraps. Joseph scoring just 2 but xg suggests he should have scored 3.5 shows what we have seen with our own eyes in that he has missed good chances.

For me the biggest problem in regard to Piroe is that we don't create enough chances for him. If we created more chances then he will score more goals - and he would score more than any other striker at the club.
Agree. Piroe is the sort of striker who needs the ball fed to him. When he do that he looks dangerous.
