Preston North End v Aston Villa Match Thread

Westwood for Tsishbola. Why would you do that?

[sirlordbaltimore]

Maybe Tish is unable to play 2/3 times a week

He's got 17 days off after today in which to rest before he's likely to kick another ball for us. So i'm pretty sure he could've managed another 90 minutes today in all fairness

[Matt Collins]

Bacuna is suspended

Gollini is presumably injured as not on bench

Hoping for more of a 433 today

Worried about Daniel Johnson against westwood and Jedinak - not the most energetic of midfields

[PeterWithesShin]

If we don't win today, RDM is in deep shit after that selection.

Maybe Tish is unable to play 2/3 times a week.It's going to be paramount that we get some cover in come January.If we can get ahead going into the second half,the option to bring him on could be vital.

Steer on the bench..wonder if Gollini is dropped or injured.Begbie getting the nod at right back...Callum Robinson will be putting the industrial,fearnought shinpads on.

I feel we actually have a couple of options off the bench for the first time this season bearing how much spondulies we've spunked.

Mate it's not cover we need but a new starting central midfield. Ours are Shite.

[berneboy]

Hutton and bunn in. Hmm

Weird Tish isn't starting. Maybe he needs to not play too many games in a short space of time as he comes back

Either way, that's not an encouraging line up. Surprised he's gone with the same front four too

RDM  said during the week that Tish' fitness needs careful managing.

[PeterWithesShin]

Like a dumbass I completely forgot Bacuna was suspended.

[ozzjim]

Jedinak will settle down and Tshibola is a good player but we need 2 more in there with legs and a bit of ability. Let Gardner go to forest and sell Westwood to a club by the sea to be with his mates.

I'm expecting the worst now...... Utter shite decisions.

[KevinGage]

Anyone recall Bunn ever making a good save? He's really shit. 6 of last seasons mentally weak, invincibles in that line up.

Arsenal had the Invincibles. We're the Invisibles.

[Colhint]

is it on the  radio  anywhere ?

[ozzjim]

Sorry but he does not show any signs of learning at all.

[dave.woodhall]

I can understand the players who've been dropped and the sight of McCormack coming on with twenty minutes to go could be the Championship equivalent of when Manchester United used to use Giggs in the same way. The first two replacements, though, show that we're short of a steady veteran keeper as back-up and a decent second choice central midfielder.

[mr underhill]

why buy on of the division's leading goal scorers to leave him on the bench. This is a Black-esque selection that could seal Robbie's fate.

[Exeter 77]

Hutton I understand with De Laet injured and Bacuna suspended. Westwood is slightly puzzling but, given the right players around him (which he doesn't have in that line-up), can pass reasonably accurately when he has time but Bunn over Steer if Gollini is injured is one I just can't see the reasoning behind.
