Should be an interesting line-up tomorrow!

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Preston haven't won a game this season when they have conceded first. So all we have to do is score first and we're definitely on for at least a point. Not that it matters much anyway.

According to Henderson on Twitter: "Great to see the coach full of very good n promising youngsters".

Sounds like Adams is going to be making a lot of changes as he suggested Tuesday. Would be good to see Maguire, Slew and McAllister given starts.

 

[Hartley Hare]

A quick cut and paste of info from BBC page.

•Sheffield United have won 45 and Preston 31 of the 102 previous matches between these clubs.
•A win for United would complete their first league 'double' over North End for 55 years.
Preston
•Preston have kept only one clean sheet in 2011, and four all season.
•They have won three, drawn eight and lost seven of their matches since Phil Brown took over as manager.
•North End have dropped 32 points this season from winning positions - more than any other Championship side - having drawn seven and lost six matches after being in front.
•They are yet to win a league game this term after conceding the opening goal.
Sheffield United
•Only one of United's nine league wins this season has been by more than a single goal (2-0 v Leeds).
•They have won two, drawn four and lost 13 of their matches since Micky Adams took over as Blades boss.
•Neill Collins could face his former club.

Get in!!!!!!!!

 

[GAZBLADE]

It's worrying that MA is plainly scared to drop Collins and Doyle as they were his permanent signings. There's no way on God's green earth that he see's an iota of talent in either! IS THERE?????

 

[Mendi]

We give them cheap goals and i dont know why the players are scared attacking the ball and Micky Adams we must give him a whole season next season.

I wasn't able to get to the Preston game and have yet to see a Youth team game so would be interested in what anybody thought of Slew and Philliskirk.

 

[Northyorksblade]

Slew was the best of a bad bunch and after watching the senior players cocking up their chances to score, obviously decided to go it alone and scored a decent goal. Philiskirk didn't make much of an impact, didn't really notice him much to be quite honest. Bit disconcerted by the the raging neanderthal next to me who thought it was a good idea to shout 'You f***ing Frankenstein' every time Hume touched the ball. He really is likely to have a stroke if he gets that het up. Just remind me, what did Hume actually do, apart from get a fractured skull and out of football for about a year?

Two games on the bump for HH then

Nothing to deserve a fractured skull, but then he wasn't intentionally given one.

One thing that really annoyed me about Hume at the weekend (completely disregarding any history) was the fact he did nothing but dive and try and con his way into free kicks for the majority of the first half... That and continually jump at the man instead of going for the ball

That and continually jump at the man instead of going for the ball

Sounds familiar, I seem to remember the last time he did that........

Still not sure that Morgs was entirely blameless, and I agree with Hume's continuous diving, but still think calling him Frankenstein, was a bit OTT. But then again, I'm a Southern softie.
