    Lita starts, no Thomas, who doesn't make not the bench, Cook seems to be in the stands for this match too and the usual attacking options in reserve.
  • Sams come into the team from being what appeared to be about fifth choice. I can only assume Thomas is "ill" again.

    COME ON YOU REDS.
  • Very attacking line-up. Good to see Lita thrown straight in. Fingers crossed for 3 points today.
  • Lots of speed and skill in that attack, we should at least create chances. Come on you reds

    In other football Man U have lost at home to Portsmouth in the Cup.

    So basically, Sam comes in for Thomas.

    And Lita replaces Iwelumo.

    Otherwise unchanged. Keeping the nucleus of the side together.



    Thought Pards said the team were looking a little tired on Tuesday.
    Expected ZZ to be rested - but perhaps he's since had a good night's sleep.

    Thomas couldn't have been tired, surely?

    Thomas couldn't have been tired, surely?


    Probably tired and emotional - he's been in and out the side so often that it's clear that he and Pardew don't see eye-to-eye, I wouldn't be surprised if he is transferred in the summer.

    Well, Thomas has apparently refused to extend his contract .......


    2 minutes gone. Are we winning yet?

    WHY NOT ? !!!!

    Inswinging corner from left by-line taken right-footed by Patrick McCarthy (Charlton) to centre, resulting in ball out of play.

    Paddy taking corner?!?!

    Thommo, I just spotted that, too.

    The Beeb hack surely got that one wrong.

    Mind you, easy to confuse Big Paddy with Lloyd Sam, I suppose ........
  • Ambrose should be taking the corners. Paddy should be getting his head to them

    As no one seems to know what's going on, here's the OS 'live' report from the chap propping up the bar:


    0 minutes: A late change to the Preston line-up with Liam Chilvers injured in the warm-up so Billy Jones steps up from the bench

    3 minutes: Good pressure from the hosts at a corner and Darren Ambrose's shot is deflected behind

    7 minutes: A wind-assisted corner from Paul McKenna is palmed away by Nicky Weaver

    9 minutes: Yaul Mawene gets across well to cut out a drive from Luke Varney

    10 minutes: A slip from Kelly Youga lets Tamas Priskin in on goal but his flick is wide of the right upright and Char;ton breath again

    11 minutes: Andy Lonergan gets behind a dribe from Matt Holland

    Meanwhile, back on the 'live' update no mention yet of the goal scored 10 minutes ago.

    Live update ? ....... the reporter must be half dead.

    Or, of course, propping up the bar out of the cold wind.

    Apparently they have a strong wind with them - our goal kicks can't get to the half-way line.

    I can't find any mention of a 2nd Preston goal.
