Wanderers arrive at Deepdale in third position in the league having made a better start than last season, undefeatesd in the league until being bounced 3-0 by the Blades last Saturday. Having only survived on the last day of the season thanks to two late goals against Forest and us doing them a favour by beating Burton.
During the pre season they had their usual crisis with the players going on strike due to apparent non payment of bonus's since then we have appeared to have gone on strike on the pitch.
Recruitment wise Parkinson has done well, Oztumer, Magennis, Wildschutt, plus three experienced midfielders Lowe, O'Neil and Murphy.
They seem to have gelled well and will provide decent opposition for our misfiring troops.
Gallagher will be back from a ban, , Maguire and Bodin will both miss this one as will I.
Been watching North End since 1969 and our record against Wanderers at Deepdale is distinctly average, we are yet to score a goal against them at home this century.
The last two game have been goalless suspect that could be the score again on Saturday which will not please the natives especially if no one arrives before the end of the loan period.

Why should a man go to work, if he has the health and strength to stay in bed?
