MANAGER
André Breitenreiter (born 2 October 1973) is a German professional manager and former player, who is currently head coach of EFL Championship club Huddersfield Town. Breitenreiter’s entire playing career was in his native Germany, appearing in both the Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2 for nine different sides.
After he retired from playing, he became a manager, and he won the Swiss Super League with FC Zurich in 2022.

Breitenreiter started his coaching career in 2009 and worked as scout for Kaiserslautern. On 3 January 2011, he was appointed as head coach of TSV Havelse, club playing in Regionalliga Nord.[3] In 2012, he won Lower Saxony Cup with TSV Havelse. On 15 May 2013, it was announced that Breitenreiter would take over SC Paderborn starting in the 2013–14 season.[4] On 11 May 2014, his club gained promotion to Bundesliga for the first time ever in club's history. On 20 September 2014, after four undefeated games (two wins, two draws) in the German top tier, Paderborn was top of the league, ahead of European powerhouses Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen.[5] Breitenreiter became the 14th head coach for Schalke 04 in the last decade on 12 June 2015.[6] He left the club after a single season.[7] He was appointed as the new head coach for Hannover 96 on 20 March 2017.[8] He was sacked on 27 January 2019.[9] In May 2022, he signed for TSG Hoffenheim.[10] He was sacked the following 6 February 2023, with the club three points above the relegation zone.[11]
On 15 February 2024, Breitenreiter was appointed head coach of English Championship club Huddersfield Town on a two-and-a-half year contract.[12]

We travel to Deepestdarkestdale on Tuesday for another bitter battle in our bid to get precious points to save ourselves from The Drop.
Thankfully, our win against Millwall puts us in a slightly better position.
I started Saturday accepting relegation and was going to stay calm in the face of adversity.
However, as soon as the whistle blew, I was screaming like a banshee and swearing like a trooper, trying to will them on.
Then we score in the dying moments, crawl over the line to take us above the relegation zone and we're back to having hope again.
I don't know what's worse.
Contrary to what was said by some fans, I actually thought we were the better team on Saturday and were unlucky not to score at least a couple of times, especially against a lacklustre, if slightly dirty side, whose main aim was to get a 0-0 draw.
I'm not convinced it will be our night on Tuesday, we haven't got the best record against them at their place or recently at all. Although we did win at their place last season, something we hadn't managed since 1969!
A small step for Kaine Kesler-Hayden; one giant leap for Huddersfield Town.
From that match to Saturday's game against Millwall, only Connell (or Nicholls as some people call him), Helik, and Kasumu started both those games.
Head to head
League-wise, it's neck and neck. Recent results favour PNE.
Our last meeting at home... don't look, Ethel.
Table
Still precariously placed in 21st but one better than we were and two places up on what could've been.
Their last match away to Watford ended 0-0. This is how they lined-up.
Top Scorers
Former Town midfielder, Duane Holmes, is in the mix although, if you noticed, he was only on the bench on Saturday. I think he's had a recent injury.
Your suffragette and female activist for this match thread is Edith Rigby who was born in Preston. She formed the Preston branch of the WSPU, started a school for female mill workers to continue their education after the age of 11, she stood up for servants of her neighbour's and gave her own servants privileges not given to many.
She was arrested and sent to prison more than once. Firstly for taking part in a march at the Houses of Parliament, and later obstructing Winston Churchill. Her father paid her fine after a few days the second time blaming the women she protested with. I would bet that she wasn't impressed with her father. She was sentenced to 9 months with hard labour for planting a bomb at the Liverpool Cotton Exchange, despite it causing little damage. There was also an admission that she set fire to one of William Lever's homes (Lever Brothers fame).
Whilst in prison, she took part in the hunger strikes and was force fed.
She later split from the WSPU and joined the IWSPU because she believed protesting should continue during the Great War, I have to say that I agree with her. And, given that she did help the war effort, she wasn't working against those fighting. She just realised that there was more than one battle to fight. As many women who worked jobs previously believed could only be done by men knew, women were equal to men and still should have the vote, war or no war.
Edith Rigby was the first woman in Preston to own a bicycle!
She continued to live in Preston until 1926 when she moved to Wales where she and her husband planned to retire. Unfortunately, he died before this happened but she went there alone. She died there in 1950. She was 77.

Two comebacks, the second more impressive than the first, marked an Easter weekend that wasn't stellar by our current high standards but kept our unbeaten run going, and - most crucially of all - kept the points tally ticking up as the matches remaining column ticks down.
All the same, we could do with a return to winning ways this week as we venture up to Stoke tomorrow. It would have seemed incredible 10-15 years ago, but winless against us in the last three league encounters and having lost three of the last four meetings at the Britannia, we have a claim to be Stoke's bogey team right now. Nevertheless, they stayed unbeaten over Easter, and so far this spring have lifted themselves out of immediate relegation danger with a couple of wins; they're not safe yet by any means, so we can't count on any complacency from Steve Schumacher's men. But with Kipre likely to make a return for Albion, hopefully we'll see a good competitive game between the sides.
Rotherham then visit next Wednesday for the last evening kick-off of the regular season, and with only four wins all season (one of those admittedly on Easter Monday), no away victories, no points on the road since January and not even a goal on their travels since February, there can really be no excuse for not putting the Millers to the sword. They may already be mathematically relegated by the time the match kicks off - it's certainly a foregone conclusion in all realistic terms - and though we all know Albion's form with banana skins, it's the home stretch now and we've got a job to do. Four points is the target from these if six is too much to ask.

Saturday 06/04/24
Millwall make their 3rd visit to Yorksha in 4 games on Saturday and will be hoping for a better result than in their last two. A opening day win at Boro, and a November win at Wendies (they lost both the home fixtures) were mathed by a mid-March defeat up the A62 and they became the first team to lose to Rotherham on Monday, April 1st.

Latest news
We're the wrong side of the trap door and you want news? Whatever Kevin the Gerbil said, it doesn't make much difference to the results anyway.
Out Injured/Suspended/Isolating
Having hurt his back unwrapping a Cadbury's Creme Egg last week, Danny - Sick Note - Ward will need a miracle of Biblical Proportions to play again this season. (Watch him start on Saturday now I've said that). Balker, Hoggy and Lees still out. Rudoni been playing with a tight hamstring apparently but is taking the weekend off to get it rubbed down by Danny Ward.
Back training but not oven ready/Back in the frame
Ward is back training, would you Adam and Eve it? ... don't hold your breath.
Last time out
It was a slightly improved showing over the Coventry match, but we still snatched our 16th draw of the season from the jaws of victory. Having taken the lead at Stoke just before half-time, we stood and watched their winger curl one in from the corner of the box a few minutes after the restart. We then huffed and puffed and failed to take any of the many (by our standards) chances we created.
![[Image: kUrTqaF.jpeg]](https://i.imgur.com/kUrTqaF.jpeg)
With Town failing to win and Millwall losing, Rotherham are still in with a mathematical chance of staying up, but to do so, they have to rely on Plymouth, Town and Wendies not reaching 42 points and turning their -49 goal difference into one that is better than Plymouth's current -10.
![[Image: 76Nrwoh.jpeg]](https://i.imgur.com/76Nrwoh.jpeg)
Elsewhere, Wendies came 2nd at Boro, Plymouth lost at home to Brizzle, Brum beat Both Ends, Blackburn won their first game in 10 attempts under "new" head coach John Eustace (appointed 9th February) by hammering 5 past Blunderland. It's only their 2nd win since 12th December (at home to Brizzle) to lift them to 17th.
Up in the nose bleeds, the top 3 all won so that stayed "as you were". The next 3 managed one point between them, though Norwich were at Leicester. Coventry followed up their "wonderful win" at ours by losing at home to Cardiff. Go figure !!

The Sack Race
Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, Plymouth bowled Ian Foster out of the club.
So will Colin be coaching them from over his garden fence? Apparently not.

Who's banging 'em in
The Lions have scored 6 fewer than us this season. Pumping high balls in against their defence might be a bit futile however. It looks like Murray Wallace won't play on Saturday though.
![[Image: FeQiqbf.jpeg]](https://i.imgur.com/FeQiqbf.jpeg)
They can't all lose
Rotherham can do us a favour on Friday by continuing their winning run against Plymouth, Wendies go to QPR, Brum go to Leicester, Stoke are home to WBA, Blackburn home to Southampton.
In the nosebleeds the return Old Farm Derby match is the early kick-off on Saturday, L666s go to Coventry, and Leicester are home to Brum.

We've played 'em before
Town have the upper hand here, though you never know which Town or which Millwall will turn up.
In 11 home League games this century we've won 8, drawn 1 and lost 2.
![[Image: F98hwoE.jpeg]](https://i.imgur.com/F98hwoE.jpeg)
Next up?
We're away to Both Ends on Tuesday. I'll bet themaclad has as much clue as to which version of Preston will turn up as we have of which version of Town we'll see in that one.

Cultural stuff
St Albans Cathedral, officially the Cathedral and Abbey Church of St Alban[5] but often referred to locally as "the Abbey", is a Church of England cathedral in St Albans, England.
Much of its architecture dates from Norman times. It ceased to be an abbey following its dissolution in the 16th century and became a cathedral in 1877. Although legally a cathedral church, it differs in certain particulars from most other cathedrals in England, being also used as a parish church, of which the dean is rector with the same powers, responsibilities and duties as that of any other parish.[6] At 85 metres long, it has the longest nave of any cathedral in England.[2]
Probably founded in the 8th century, the present building is Norman or Romanesque architecture of the 11th century, with Gothic and 19th-century additions.

Onto the 2nd half and we took the lead when Gassama got down right, but lost the ball but the clearance deflected off Gassama into the net. QPR nearly equalised but Andersen hit the bar. We sealed the points when Gassama got down the left and squared for Musaba to fire high into the net.
