PNE defence conceded 2 goals in one game but had 3 clean sheeets.

PNE are 5pts below the play-offs but with a much worse goal difference. Ipswich, Leeds and Leicester are way ahead of the rest and Southampton and West Brom look like taking play off places. Norwich, Coventry, Preston, Hull, Middlesbrough could take the last place.

Burnley and Sheffield United look like being relegated into the Championship while Portsmouth and Derby look like being promoted into it.

4 wins and a draw makes a good haul in February. Goal difference is still poor with PNE the only negative in the top 12.

4 matches, Conceding 12 goals with a 1-5 defeat at home to Watford. That makes 21 in 2 months. Although a win against Leeds is always good. Just 4pts from the play-offs so still in the game.

 

 

1st December 2023 P18 W9 D3 L8 F24 A30 Pts28 Pos 7th

4 matches, 2 wins, 2 defeats. Conceding 9 goals making it 30 in total isn't good. Although a win at Blackburn is always good.

 

 

1st November 2023 P14 W7 D3 L6 F18 A21 Pts22 Pos 9th

North End fell into the also rans during October gaining only 2pts from 7 matches. Slowly things improved over the month after conceding 11 goals and scoring 2 in 3 matches including the last game of September. If they'd won one of the 2 drawn games they'd have been 5th so aren't far adrift.
