We make the short journey to Deepdale this weekend to take on a Preston team in good form having not lost in the last 6 games.

No two ways about it we have to take points (preferably 3) from this game.

Our loss mid-week v Leeds, although not ideal was encouraging, we showed we have the capability to do what is needed to avoid the drop.

If possible I would again go for an unchanged team although I expect to see a couple of changes due to the volume of games recently.

Must win for me this one and I think we will do it but only just

Preston 1 Stoke 2
 
I’d go with the same starters at Leeds but change Gooch for Thompson just because three games this week is too much for him.
I’d expect early subs too. Ennis will be a concern in this third game so maybe Campbell could replace him as im still not convinced Lowe is up to it yet.

Berger needs to be careful too being a yellow away from a ban which we could do without especially as Pearson gets himself a ban for a few games 🙄

They’re doing well but perhaps over confidence in their camp could help us as they will probably think a game against a bottom three side is an easy victory. Play as we know we can and we can get something here so im going for an away victory with a 1-2 score line.

Massive game. Huge chance to take points and it’s a game where I think 3 are available. I don’t have it down as a must win (compared to other fixtures), but ill be gutted if we don’t take at least a point considering the position we are in and the way we have been playing. Tomorrow will be one of those games that the result will make us all feel one way or another. Definitely staying up or feeling like we’re going down 👍🏻👎🏻

I’m going 2-0 Stoke. I think Campbell will start and if he does i have him down for a goal.
