Smith and Taylor  both had Covid, they might not be ready yet, Whiteman allegedly had Covid ( or was that a convenient excuse), it will be interesting to see if he plays for Preston today

EDIT: Whiteman, one of the Covid 5 starts for Preston

Whatever happens from here, pleased to see they know what they're doing. Plenty of positives.

Swindon seem happy with a high line and hitting long balls from back to front and feeding off 2nd ball. We could really capitalise here against those tactics.

Paul Caddis is only 32. 32!

He looks a good deal older than Butts and Copps and it feels like he's been around for decades.

Wasn't it Caddis that scored for Birmingham at Bolton in the 23rd minute of injury time to relegate us from The Championship?
If not, I've been hating him for no good reason and I apologise to him and his family and friends.

I think it was the out and out deliberateness of the foul and that their player would have been away attacking.

Have to watch yellow cards - I believe this is the last game where 5 means a suspension and James and Richards are both on 4 I think.

Also BTW Joe Wright I think is on 4.

So is that confirmation that today is the last game where they count, i.e 5 yellows needed for a suspension and not 10? I thought the cut off was after 19 league games?

I didn't think it was a foul.
8 bookings in a game where there wasnt one bad foul. I thought first half the ref was good second half he couldn't  wait to get the yellow card out.

Kettle was 4th Official wasn't he? probably gave him a bollocking at half time!
