    Swansea v Preston

    The Lilywhites of Preston are the visitors this Wednesday night. We lost at Deepdale last November by the odd goal, so it’s revenge time.
    They have done well this season and are in play-off contention, only one point away, despite losing at Millwall 2-0 last Saturday.
    Preston have been in good form recently, winning 4 of their last 6 matches.
    We are also in good form winning 4 of our last 6 matches.
    Preston’s former Wales U-21 International striker Ched Evans is out for the season and requires surgery after a neck injury sustained at Rotherham recently. The injury is due to repeated high-force contact, which is more prevalent in rugby players and can be career threatening.
    A low scoring team with 41 goals this season. Ched Evans is Preston’s leading goalscorer on 9 goals, followed by Tom Cannon on 7 goals, Brad Potts is on 5 (he scored against us in the reverse fixture), Emil Riis 5, Troy Parrott 3 (on loan from Spurs).
    Their goalkeepers are both ex-Swans, Freddie Woodman and his deputy David Cornell.
    Ryan Lowe has been Preston’s Manager since Dec 2021 with a win percentage of 40.28% (Russell Martin 34.74%). He was previously managing Plymouth Argyle and led them to promotion from League 2 in 2019-20 season.

    What a match boys, great entertainment with both teams going for it.
    We even had a “handbags” between head-coach Ryan Lowe and Joe Allen, Lowe started it by pushing Allen, who had been subbed earlier, then everybody joined in. Allen and Lowe sent off meaning Allen got the worst of it and misses the rest of the season.
    We were 3-0 up at half-time could have been more. Second half they brought on three subs and went all out attacking, pulled two goals back from their two shots on target, but Piroe settled it with an injury time goal.
    Onwards to Norwich on Saturday, anybody going?

    Not forgetting Lowe head butting simulations on Martin, without contact but intentions clear.
    Preston’s Bambo Diaby given four match ban after melee footage examined.
