No team news yet, but plenty of matches in the north-west being called off due to weather.

Any danger of this one going?

Seems logical.

Interesting lineup, hopefully will be enough to beat Preston at home.

We need to get this management situation sorted aoon.

[Drew_3]

I may have missed something obvious....but no Sa?!

[genome]

Seems like some natural width in the side now, especially with HRK back.

[windermere_royal]

Sa injured?

[DaddyKuhl]

Love this thread

[TBM]

Sa is on his way to Fulham in January so no point in playing him

The Kuhl affect.

Yeah HRK should be a positive, offers a lot more protection defensively than Piazon or John.

[blueroyals]

Piazon dropped, forgot he existed tbf

A blind goldfish on crutches would offer more protection defensively than Piazon

[blueroyals]

What formation are we playing?

[royalp-we]

Preston hit the post on 10mins according to ssn...

[Platypuss]

7' Preston hit the post! Adam Reach latches onto a knock-down and rifles a left-footed effort from the edge of the area...

... his strike hit the inside of Bond's post, flew back across the face of goal, and went behind for a goal-kick on the far side!
