    They only signed one player this summer, just a guess but maybe the relationship was deteriorating over transfers.

    ...and now their manager has left after 1 game this season.

    If it was us, some on here and RTG would suggest that the club was in turmoil and there for the taking. Let's ****in' take them!

    Having done pre-season, in the middle of a transfer window and a defeat against the probable Champions ...

    ... and people claim 'only Sunderland' <doh>

    Preston North End have confirmed that they have parted company with manager Ryan Lowe.
    Sunderland’s EFL Cup first round opponents Preston North End have announced the departure of manager Ryan Lowe.

    The Black Cats travel to Deepdale on Tuesday evening, but will now face a side overseen by caretaker boss Mike Marsh, accompanied by Peter Murphy and Ched Evans.

    Lowe’s exit comes just one game into the new Championship season. Preston lost their 2024/24 curtain-raiser 2-0 against newly-relegated Sheffield United on Friday evening.

    He's the second manager to be sacked after the first gamne of the season, Raith Rovers sacked Ian Murrey after their first games defeat.

    Just had a thought. Surely the new third kit needs to be revealed today or tomorrow? We can't wear either of our kits tomorrow night.

    Our home kit will be fine, surely? Predominately red.

    I get that, but I don’t believe there’d be much of a clash with our home kit this year.

    Sounds like wholesale changes then. With that in mind I'd go:

    Moore
    Johnson O'Nien Triantis Hjelde
    Rigg Ekwah
    Mundle Aouchiche Bennette
    Rusyn​

    Subs: Patto, Hume, Alese, Browne, Hemir, Poveda, Jobe, Watson, Mayenda

    Will we get audio commentary of the game? I read somewhere that there will be no video streams

    Where did you read that? :emoticon-0110-tongu
    It might be on the local radio but I didn’t see the audio available on the SAFC live site.

    Ah you’re right - we’re on Sky Sports+. Class. Really like watching our second string, so many promising youngsters that could play a big part in our season. Hopefully having a settled “game model” will allow them to gel more easily and performances improve.
