Callum Lang

No word yet on how fit he will be.

Callum Lang also went off with a bit of a knock.

There's hope he might be okay, but we've not really heard anything just yet.

And this, uh, after a game where Alexander could only name eight substitutes in his first game in charge because-

On Saturday, he did two kind of creative midfielders behind the striker, and it didn't quite work.

So you could see how Preston got into a q- few good positions on the counter.

They had that three against three Millwall defenders several times, but the front three of, uh, Alfie Devine, Joseph Arabit, and Callum Lang, it was just too slow.

Um, it didn't have the pace that Kenny and Mills bring to that side, and as a result, a lot of those counters-

I'll probably, I'll probably go with a 1-1.

Um, and Callum Lang will be my shout for, um, for the goal if anything from, from Preston.

I think Ca- Is Ca- I believe Callum Lang is your top goalscorer.

Yeah.

He got three this season.

And yeah, if we can, if we can get players around him and, um, kind of get things ticking, then yeah, he's, he's, he is a key player for us and if anyone's gonna score then, then I do fancy him

himAnd I, I mean, uh, for our, for our listeners and obviously what we were talking about at the start of the show with our, our new sponsorship, if anybody does a- agree with, with, um, with Peter, whether that be from a Millwall or Preston Per- um, perspective, the 1-1 on, on SBK is 49 to 10 if you fancy a little flutter.

Uh, Callum Lang to score any time is five to two.

Previously we faced Stevenage six times during the years, winning one, making two draws, and suffering defeat on three occasions.

Still having nightmares regarding our first meeting, which came in that game in October 2023 when referee Alan Young, the clown in the circus, dished out 12 yellows to the Latics, awarded a ninth-minute non-penalty for a ghost challenge by Baba Adekoyejo, and sent off Callum Lang on 34 minutes.

Shaun Maloney and Graeme Barrow were also included in our yellow card count.

Stevenage defender Alex MacDonald also picked up a red card late in the proceedings.

I think particularly at the top end, we've got the players to do that now.

I mean, Callum Lang, obviously his hamstring has meant that he's not as explosive, but he, he'll run for days.

He's like a powerful runner.

Kenny's shown he can do that.

I'm, I'm not saying that they have to be big lads in that position, um, but it depends who you partner them with.

Because let's say if you, if you put Johnny Kenny there, he's not like a big lad.

You say Callum Lang on the other side, he's a good attacker with the ball.

And then if you've got Moran as the other one, it's like they're the three you're aiming for.

Colby Bishop.

Lang's got his fourth.

[crowd cheering] A fourth for Callum Lang.

Hello, everyone, and welcome to the Pompey Platter Podcast.

Uh, bonus episode, season so far.

They did play really well in the first half.

And obviously Callum Lang scored.

They just had a win a few days before and you thought, oh, maybe they were just sort of turning the corner.

They just sort of fell away sort of second half and Watford came back and won it.

coming, wasn't it? To interject with one positive, that second finish from Kenny is good, isn't it? So we've been looking at this forward line thinking, my word, where are the goals going to come from? We've lost all these goals from last season.

Well, he looks like somebody and he does like to shoot, doesn't he? I think he pissed Callum Lang off a few times yesterday.

But if you get him chances, he looks like somebody who's going to take them.

Yeah, and he's obviously a completely different profile to, say, Rhys, but he's similar in that if the ball drops to him in the box, it doesn't need to sit perfectly for him.

So I think that gives me hope.

And Preston being hopeless in front of goal pretty much bar a couple of goals from Callum Lang.

I think I just want a fancy QPR to take this one.

We'll move on to your outsider.

And Murphy scores! A magnificent goal! That's just wonderful from Josh Murphy! ...chart for Colby Bishop over the goalkeeper, off the

post and into the back of the net! Colby Bishop! Lang's got his fourth! A fourth for Callum Lang!

Hello, everyone, and welcome to the Pompey Patter Podcast, Season 3, Episode 7, Bore Draw at the Valley, which it certainly was a boring draw.
