It has been a mixed season so far, the imprerious defensive clinic that has been put on, in setting new records and keeping six seven clean sheets to start their league season, to the lacklustre three goals mustered so far.
North End’s faltering forward line has caused the most concern but a 4-1 away win in the Carabao Cup against Huddersfield Town means at least PNE have seen their side truly turn someone over. An evening out at Molineux getting a tast of the Premier League was also a good experience, North End narrowly edged out of the cup 2-1.
But as things are with North End, it certainly has not been boring when it comes to the Lilywhites, though goalless draw after goalless draw might insist otherwise.
