MACS FORM RATING LAST 5 GAMES (MAX RATING 25)
Blackburn 2 Preston 4
Both sides slightly out of form in recent times no wins between them in 10 games, so looks a cast iron draw.
Our nearest and dearest away from home with mass away support even Rovers ticketing arrangements tred to spike that however we got around that so at least 5,500 will be rocking up to reduce the home clubs 190 million pound debt.
Rovers suffered a major blow when losing Bradley dack for the best part of 12 months with cruciate knee damage .
The return game at Deepdale so us 2 down before we went ale house to take the points in a 3-2 win, interesting selection problems for us will Sinclair start from the begining, Johnson seems to be closer to fitness plus some of thse who played last week may be considered plus those that were rested.
On a personal note this is the one that matters, when Uncle Jack arrived with his funny money those of us who lived in South Ribble had to put up with part time North Enders suddenly becoming Rovers supporters those were hellish times always nice to beat them,
Match Officials: Blackburn Rovers Away
Taking charge of his first Preston North End game of the season in Saturday’s derby with Blackburn Rovers is referee James Linington.
The Isle of Wight match official took charge of two PNE games last season, our August trip to Swansea City and the final game of the season away at Brentford.
He was also the man in charge of the game for our game with Cardiff City in December 2017, when Tom Clarke scored a late winner.
James took charge of three PNE games that season in all, the trio all away from home, with the games being the 2-1 win at Hull City back in September, the aforementioned game at the Cardiff City Stadium and the 1-0 win at Sheffield United in our final away game of last season.
This is also his first Rovers game of the season, having so far officiated 17 games, issuing 56 cautions and three red cards; his last game being Barnsley’s 3-1 FA Cup win at Crewe on Sunday.
Three seasons ago, the referee made his first visit ever to Deepdale for the clash with Wolves back in November and was then the referee in the away game at Derby County back in March.
The season before he was referee of the PNE game at Ashton Gate, when Greg Cunningham scored the winner against his former club and that was his third game in charge of PNE.
The other time he refereed North End was another game in the south of England, when the Lilywhites won 1-0 at Gillingham in the League One promotion season, courtesy of Paul Huntington’s goal in his first start of the season.
He will be assisted by James Wilson and Nick Barnard, with Ollie Yates acting as the fourth official.
