Good afternoon Preston fan in peace  , one of the few away games in this League I look forward to , superb ground , proper football club with proper fans , having spent a chunk of the last 30 years in the bottom echelons of english football and not seen top flight football since the 1950's games like Aston Villa away evoke memories of a top flight fixture , win / lose or draw the players wearing White tonight ( maybe yellow ) will give it there all and I can ask for no more , we have the third smallest budget in the division behind I am lead to believe Burton and Barnsley and have assembled this squad for just under £2 million we really are punching way above our weight to be anything above fighting against relegation , in fairness having only lost six all season ( and 4 of those on a bounce when we had 7-8 players out against you , Brentford , Wolves and Ipswich ) we have only lost 2 of the other 25 against Derby 1-0 and Boro 2-3 , unfortunately our problem has been at home with way too many sterile games and draws ( we have only won one against the bottom 8 - Hull and not played Burton ) where as our away form is one defeat since the 3-0 defeat at Ipswich in November when he had to play a midfielder at centre half and where ravaged by injuries , you comfortably beat us at Deepdale and it could have been by a cricket score , I think we will put up more of a battle tonight but we have huge problems in midfield with no Gallagher , Johnson , Welsh and Pearson and thats where the game may be won and lost , we work hard , press all over the pitch and are decent at the back but do think tonight might be a game to much , regardless I wish you all the best for the rest of the season and think you will take the auto spot with Wolves although Fulham I still think are the ones you need to finish ahead of , I think we will finish around 10th but hoping to nick that 6th spot but we are having a great season and the 1000 or so tonight will roar the team on whether 2-0 up or 4-0 down 

Cheers
