Town Starting XI at Preston
Wednesday, 19th Jul 2023 18:15

Town have named their line-up for this evening’s friendly against Preston North End at Deepdale (KO 7pm).

Christian Walton is in goal with the Blues perhaps utilising a back three of Luke Woolfenden, Dominic Ball and Cameron Burgess with Leif Davis and Kayden Jackson the wing-backs.

Alternatively, Woolfenden could be at right-back with Jackson ahead of him down the flank.

Skipper Sam Morsy and Massimo Luongo are the central midfielders with Conor Chaplin and Nathan Broadhead behind lone striker Freddie Ladapo.

A large number of the rest of the squad - including last week's signing George Hirst - are almost certain to be introduced in the second half.

George Edmundson, who has an ankle injury, and Wes Burns and Janoi Donacien, who picked up knocks at the weekend, aren't in the squad, while Harry Clarke was also absent.

Former Blues striker Will Keane, a recent signing from Wigan, starts for the Lilywhites.

The game is being shown live by Preston on their iFollow service at a cost of £5.

Town: Walton, Woolfenden, Ball, Burgess, Jackson, Morsy (c), Luongo, Davis, Chaplin, Broadhead, Ladapo. Subs: Slicker, Hladky, Evans, Harness, Taylor, Leigh, Aluko, Hirst, Edwards, Humphreys, F Barbrook, Carr, Baggott.

Isn’t it more likely that it’s a back four with Ball at right back? He’s played there before in his career…

@algarveblue - can you imagine the project management meeting where they said ‘we must get town tv live for the Preston away friendly?’

Strongish line up to start the game. Bit worried about Edmundson still having problems with that ankle injury he had most of last season.

Brilliant, though still a training match without getting carried away a very good performance

A bit desperate for the last 20 minutes with 4/5 kids on, but very much in command up until then.

@Framlinghamblue, the season is only 2 weeks away and there has been nothing, it wasn't just about tonight, I, like many other fans live and work abroad and this is the only way we get to see games apart from occasional visits back to the UK, then I can't get tickets because I can't amass points! We will just have to see what happens, good run out tonight, enjoyed the game though!!
