Alan has improved year on year and quite rightly won all the award shows last season but to me he looks to have developed even Moreno over the summer with his experiences with RoI clearly helping.

Yes it’s friendly but in the second half today he once again he looked a class act, making Noble and Snodgrass look like old men.

I rarely make predictions but I think Alan is going to tear the championship apart this coming season.

I sincerely hope you are right. I actually think we are going to surprise a few this coming season. Didn't get to the game today, travelling back from London and got snarled up in traffic. Will be interested to see the team on Monday.

Player in his early twenties tearing up the division . . . . that will be 20m more in the transfer kitty.

You were lucky indeed. We were travelling from the east end of London, there was a car fire on the early part of motorway and it caused chaos. still, we got home safely so no worries.
 
Interested to see how he is used again this season.

Neil clearly loves him and he will be a regular for sure, but not sure if we're struggling for goals again at home that he can legislate for playing him no.10 at Deepdale again, with the likes of Harrop, Burke etc. in the squad.

Could see him being dropped deeper at home, where there is now big competition for places in that deeper pair with Pearson, Ledson, Johnson, Gallagher, and being the first name on the team sheet away from home in the no.10 role.
 
I don’t think a player like Browne, whose best attributes are his industry and legs, is ever going to ‘tear the championship up’, as such. However I do think he’ll improve on last season.

Maybe that was the wrong term, however I think he clearly has the ability to be one of the stand out players in the championship.
 
I find it amazing how he can be sweeping up in front of the defence and then 10 seconds later he’s arriving late into the box on the end of a cross. Covers absolutely every blade and for me it doesn’t matter whether he’s played in a 10 or deeper, he’ll still be everywhere. Unlucky not to score yesterday too, good save by Adrian.

I think Monday's team will give a chance to those who did not start yesterday or maybe those AN thinks need a bit more game time with Saturday's team likely to give an indication of his preferred line-up.

Hence tomorrow something like:

Rudd

Woods, Huntington, Storey, Earl

Ledson, Johnson

Bodin/Horgan, Burke, Robinson

Maguire

As I said the other day it is still genuinely difficult to predict who will be in the starting line-up for the first league game other than injuries permitting Fisher, Pearson, Browne and Maguire. Otherwise Maxwell or Rudd is too close to call; it could be any two of Clarke, Huntington and Davies in central defence though Storey has actually looked OK; at left-back Hughes does seem to be edging Earl; after a slow start Barkhuizen suddenly seems to kicking into gear but will that injury he got set him back; Bodin's performance yesterday was superb but he is suspended; Horgan has caught the eye with his commitment; Harrop has looked stylish and comfortable but not yet really authoritative - Johnson or even Burke could give AN a selection poser if they play well tomorrow; Robinson has been OK against relatively minor opposition but needs to look good against tomorrow's opponents.

Earl won’t start tomorrow, he started yesterday and was shattered after 60 minutes. It will be Hughes.

Pretty sure Horgan played 90 as well so won’t be playing tomorrow, Bodin will start.

Pearson will probably play instead of Ledson after having to come off early.
 
Whoever starts against QPR maybe be impossible to guess at present -

but whoever doesnt start vrs QPR; WILL START against Morecambe (no doubt with a warning not to repeat Accy ).
 
Pearson might not be allowed to play so soon, might see O'Reilly or Baxter alongside DJ against the Dingles who might play a lot of youth players themselves.
 
When do Burnley play Aberdeen in the europa league ??

They might put out a fairly strong side against us in preparation........
 
Think Neil could just go Gung Ho, knowing its a reserve team?

Rudd
Woods, Huntington, Storey, Hughes
Johnson, Harrop
Bodin, Burke, Robinson
Maguire
