Chido has been cooking so far, best performance in a United shirt. Exceptional all-round play.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.
Kamason gets better every time I see him
James Nolan's younger brother on for Preston.
Sloppy play by Armer. 4-1
4-2 now 
The proverbial game of 2 halves, we have been shocking in the second half , I don’t think their keeper has touched the ball this half
Preston have been right aggy tonight
First helft was good but really poor in the second half, none of them are even close to be ready for the first team.
United thought they had it in the bag, relaxed and just unable to recover their mojo. Preston, to their credit, have upped their energy levels
Wow, bit lucky to get a pen there. Igrabimov !! That takes chutzpah!!!
They’ve got some really decent players for a Championship outfit to be fair
Bradbury on for his U18s debut.
Ha ha…..great panenka. As you say, took some balls to do that.
Great result tonight for the boys. Great shame that Lacey has missed so much football the past 2 seasons, it's looking very likely that he's going to miss the boat. It would be great if he does come back but a young player missing so much football in his development years usually spells curtains.
He is still only 17 so he's still got time on his side yet, it's when the injuries start piling up at 19/20, like with Gore, I start getting concerned.
Yeah, he looked really good until he picked up his injury. Really strong carrier from defence. Thought he was the more impressive of the central defensive pair even though its Armer that I normally hear a lot about.
Not sure if mentioned but Jolean Lescotts son was in midfield for Preston.
Overall a nice comfortable win.
A combination of complacency setting into the team and Preston fired up made the second half a more interesting event.

In the second half they were wearing black armbands. I think they were told about Denis Law at half time that must have affected their performance in the second half.
As sad news as it was about the ill 84 year old, it was probably more just the usual scenario of a team being 4-0 up and coasting at home to a lower league team and failing to raise their game after the break. Unusual for this group though the last couple of years, as Adam Lawrence has got them being pretty ruthless in pushing for ever more goals.
Yeah, they haven't played in a while and a good few players were cramping so I'd say fitness played a small part. Silly mistakes in passing and like with the goal Armer gave away crept in and they stopped winning midfield duels.
