Team for Preston

Tricky one this and no doubt will lead to different opinions. But here goes

Smithies

Peltier
Nelson
Bamba
Bennett

Pack

White Bacuna Ralls

Tomlin

Madine

Time for coxe now...peltier was shocking yesterday again

Totally agree, if he doesn’t start a game soon when he is up against an out of form Peltier and Jazz Sicknote he possibly never will

Harris says he wants to try the youngsters, this is a perfect chance to start one of them

I really do see your point but, I’m not sure that Preston should be that game as with probably both Morrison and Flint missing, we need another experienced head in defence (assuming Bamba partners Nelson).
Any time soon for Coxe though I agree.

I would go 3 at the back and use Whyte and Mendez as wing backs

Peltier Bamba Nelson

That would allow us to play Pack and Ralls in the middle with Tomlin and 2 strikers

My team would be

Smithies

Peltier Bamba Nelson

Pack Ralls

Mendez tomlin whyte

Ward Madine

Smithies

Peltier
Nelson
Brown
Bennett

Pack
Ralls

NML
Tomlin
Hoilett

Medine

Even though Madine has played well the one thing still eludes him and that’s a goal. Glatzel on the other hand can score goals so he gets the nod for me.
And I would like to see Bamba back someone that will get the crowd going which will help the team and it is Christmas after all
Peltier and Bennett have been worse than awful. And please please please Harris don’t pair Mozza with Flint together again it just doesn’t work. It’s hasnt worked all season. Nelson should be the first to be pencilled in at the back.
And Josh Murphy ffs 11mill my are more like £11

Harris Says there's a possibility of appealing red card so if he does and succeeds bet Morrison is in team

Arr you not a fan of Bamba? I do like the little I've seen of Brown, in Scotland and his couple of appearances for us but I wouldn't throw him in against a good Preston team. Providing Bamba is 100% then has to be him at the back.

Yeah love Bamba but just don't see how he can be fit enough after such a long lay off.

Preston are a good team but not in great form, I'm not sure there is ever a great time to chuck in a young defender in the championship but with the injuries and suspensions I'd go for it unless Flint is fit.

Very risky playing brown in what is a pivotal game... a win could mean a credible playoff chase whereas a loss I fear we are unlikely to move into top 6 this season as too inconsistent

I don't think it's any more Risky than playing Bamba who won't be match fit.
