Preston are a very good team despite their bizarre record in the league this year. We all know that Ryan Lowe has his team's playing good football and they will have a lot of the ball (they had 58% possession against Sheff Utd). Their striker Emil Riis is a tall lad and he scored 17 goals last season so he'll give our defence a tough day's work. We already know their defence will be difficult to break down (4 goals conceded this season). I've a funny feeling that Preston's lack of scoring and conceding goes out the window in this game though. I'm going for a 2-2 draw. I'm expecting Diallo to start for us, but otherwise be unchanged. He'll score one with a set piece header from Danny Batth being the other.
A black cat walked past the front of our house as I opened the blinds. Definitely a good omen HA'WAY THE LADS
Cheers as always @RTB Looking forward to this one. They will keep the ball well so could be frustrating and tight game However I think the individual talent and pace we have will win the day. Couple of early goals to settle the nerves then bring on the young lads to swarm all over them. 3-0
Match day is here. Railway Club here I come. Make sure there are plenty of bottles of Double Maxim in the fridge.
cheers again RTB... tight one this but i think we have enough to get through their stubborn defence, it's good not to have to rush players back or worry too much about the next injury, we have a more than capable squad right now and each lad is stepping in and doing his job.
What a bench that is man After seeing that I'm going 2-0 Sunderland ... ... Batth close in and Evans far out. Ha’way the Lads!!!
