    Régis Le Bris has been delivering the latest team news to the media ahead of tonight’s Carabao Cup tie against Preston North End.
    Pierre Ekwah and Nectarios Triantis are both in contention to start tonight’s game at Deepdale after the pair made recent returns to full training.
    Leo Hjelde was not risked for the victory against Cardiff City with a slight injury, but is now also in the running to feature against the Lilywhites.
    “With the way that we approach the games, we want to be adaptable,” said Le Bris. “For us, we need to focus on our game. With the way that we want to play this competition, organise our team.
    “After three or five minutes on the pitch, we will see if our expectations for this game are the ones that we prepared for.”
    “The fact that it will be an official game will be helpful for their involvement and the way that they could play together. With a season of 46 games, many of them will be involved. They will have huge importance for the squad.”

    Obviously expecting lots of changes to the starting 11 but think we will have a strong bench to call on if required. Looking forward to this one and only a couple of hours drive. Away win for me. Keep the faith lads and lasses.

    That's good for our fans, especially on trains ... no one wants extra time.

    Very nice, one of the oldest villages in the Peak District ...

    ... but what's that got to do with the match?

    O’Nien just posted a story on instagram of his fridge thanking a company for a delivery <laugh>

    Maybe he’s not in the squad tonight?

    I think Anderson may play left back tonight. Played well there in preseason.
