MATCHWATCH : Preston North End (a)

[tidus_mi2]

Apparently Deepdale doesn't have undersoil heating so, unlike most grounds it actually stands a chance of being called off if there is substantial snow.

[Mid Sussex Royal]

Yaks just posted a pic of himself scoring on twitter; back tomorrow?

According to

https://uksnowmap.com/

There is snow down South but none in Preston so game should be on

[Royals and Racers]

Pitch is fine.

[Jagermesiter1871]

Just remembered we lost 3:0 to them.

Aluko in



But Olise is on bench...

[Mid Sussex Royal]

That's great news Olise not out, with Yiadom just about back we should be really strong on Friday.

[South Coast Royal]

Aluko in



But Olise is on bench...

Is there anybody on here who thinks "Oh great, Aluko is playing?"
It is great though that Olise is fit, but why on the bench?

Presumably fit enough if he had to play but not worth risking making his “issue” worse if it can be avoided..

Or he just wants someone on the bench that actually might excite fans at the prospect of coming on.

Alternatively, of course, it could just be tactical

[Zip]

If we avoid injuries today we may have only three out injured for the Bournemouth game. Yids should make the bench. Maybe Yaks too. That would leave Moore, Puscas and Araruna as the only ones missing.

Why did Puscas make the bench and then go for surgery... with so many places to fill maybe injured senior players are named just to out psych the opposition or make fans more confident

[Hound]

Guessing Puscas had a set back after being named

Side is pretty much as expected. Right flank isn’t ideal certainly but got options to change it

[bcubed]

Sky Reading bingo

Boardroom impatience

He didn’t come on as Joao played the full 90. I remember thinking that was a bit surprising at the time.

[CountryRoyal]

Would be nice if we touched the ball.

[WoodleyRoyal]

Cant get our foot on the ball at the moment. Need to see this first 15 out

[Sutekh]

Standard fetid start from Reading so far

[St Pauli]

I’m surprised the Sky commentary can carry on with their speech with their tongue so far up PNE’s arse.

[bcubed]

Yes tho it seems to have surprised Sky commentators

[CountryRoyal]

We’ve barely touched the ball, we look like we haven’t got off the bus.

Guarantee we score with our first shot on target.
