lastest odds from bookies is they have Preston at 5/2
"after the 1st four games am thinking they meant for the drop" joked Orr
Plymouth
1st game was against Plymouth at Home park
although many though its was Akos Buzsaky v's Preston, as he out jumped the Preston defence[Alexander,Lucketti] to score from a corner on the 15mins.
Preston had chance after chance, but couldn't keep the ball down when striking at goal.
Buzskay 2nd goal was a bit of class,started with a long ball from Paul Wotton to Djordjic, who neatly passed to Taylor, with a quick pass to Buzsaky, who had at least 40 yards to goal , head down he ran ,waiting for the right moment to shoot , even with 4 preston players hot on his heels, he kept his cool and sloted in the far post [42min]
Orr when for the attacking formattion ,but it failed , when Scott Taylor struck to make it 3-0 on the 70th min
only thing the PNE loyal had to cheer about was Patrick Agyemang goal on the 87th min, which came from a pinpoint pass from McKenna, at last football from PNE , was it was a litte to late

Etuhu
Stoke
PNE 1st home game of the season, Alexander Sedgwick and Dichio all returned to the starting line up, with Anyinsah replacing McKenna who had picked up a slight knock during training, Mckenna dropped to the bench, came on , on the 27th min after Etuhu was carried off. 40th min Hoefkens hacked down Nugent with a two footed tackle, which was a straight red, had Orr screaming at the 4th offical and ref after he was showen a yellow.
2nd half never got going, Orrs H/T team talk done nothing to lift the Lilywhites, only real drama of the 2nd half was on the 83rd min, when Anyinsah was tackled by Harper, which saw him signal to the bench to say his game was over.
on came Davidson for the last 7mins, who nearly won the game for PNE with his runs down the left wing ,but a offside decision in injury time ,blow Agyemang chances for his 2nd of the season.and given Orr his 1st win in charge of PNE, but its was a point on the board

Derby
match day 4 and home to Derby who are flying, sitting 3rd, while PNE sit 2nd bottom,It seems like it was gonna be one of those days at the office for PNE. 15secs on the clock without a PNE player touching the ball ,bang 1-0 Tommy Smith for Derby, the look on Orrs face said it all,that day look like it was gonna happen but he rallied the troops, gave them the belief to get back into the game, they kept Derby at bay , but with Alexander and Nugent both pickin up knocks in the 41st min Orr had 2 reshape his team, O'Neil a ex-Derby player himself , played his heart out, threading some lovely passes thru to the front line winning some key tackles. but sadly it was another defeat for PNE, but the signs are there, its just a matter of time before they click("well we better start winning or face a season of scrapping " Orr)
