Preston v Aston Villa Match Thread

[Brazilian Villain]

I think Unai's taking the FA Cup seriously.

[algy]

I like it - no messing about, straight up “we’re going to twat you” lineup

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Their keeper is out and they've brought in Cornell who has made four appearances since signing for them in 2022. He hasn't played a minute this season.

[Villa Lew]

Very happy with the team, reckon we're on our way to Wembley.

[enigma]

He's not fucking about with that line up. He's definitely got his eye on winning this competiotion.

[Small Rodent]

Bailey injured?

Surely with naming conventions he should be called Baileyey?

[jwarry]

Was Bailey away on international duty? Maybe he’s had further to travel so probably been told her yourself ready for Wednesday

[malckennedy]

Referee’s from Lancashire. Just saying.

[PeterWithesShin]

With a fit squad someone will have to be left out each game.

[TopDeck113]

Top line-up. No excuses.
If we don't win the damn thing this season, given whose left in, it'll be filled alongside 1992 as the great missed opportunity

A Preston fan has posted this on the match coverage pages on the BBC football website:

"This is my 48th year of following PNE and to beat Villa today would be something else. The Heck has got us playing and there’s a lot of heart in the camp. We’ve got a squeak."

Is there something we don't know?
Is the moonlighting?

[Border villan]

BBC coverage. Holding breath for the number of mentioned ex Preston manager Bobby C or the general mancs get a mention in the build up.

[Brazilian Villain]

Referee’s from Lancashire. Just saying.

Hopefully he's a Blackpool fan.

Ashton-under-Lyne.

One letter of being a secret Villan?

Jeez…what’s going on here? An FA cup tie and I can moan about the team selection.  OK here goes….Should have rested key players, game on Wednesday is far more important, I hope he realises that?
