This is still a match worth winning and provides an opportunity to give some game time to the likes, maybe, of Davies, O'Connor, Horgan and Harrop - if fit. I think Hugill showed his value to us today and providing he is still here then I would look to start him - next Saturday. But for Tuesday Maguire and Mavididi can perhaps take the prime strike roles. Might keep Pearson back as well if only to guard against the possibility of him picking up another booking. The signing of Fisher surely marks the end of any idea of ever using Grimshaw again as a right-back - perhaps Tuesday would be the ideal opportunity to see if he can deliver in midfield otherwise there really would be absolutely no point keeping him. So maybe:

Maxwell

Fisher, Huntington, Davies, O'Connor

Browne, Grimshaw

Horgan, Harrop, Mavididi

Maguire
 
Rudd
Vermijl, Boyle, Davies, Griffiths
Horgan, Gallagher, Welsh/ Grimshaw, Pringle, Harrop
Hugill

I know they probably will change it but Id be very tempted to start the same 11 again. Lets build a winning momentum.
 
No doubt there will be changes,some very tired bodies out there today at the end,never seen a PNE team put in the effort and commitment that they did today.Well doe everybody.
 
I think it'd be good to give as many of the lads as possible a chance to impress the new manager in a competetive fixture so eleven changes:

Rudd
Vermijl - Boyle - Davies - O'Connor
Welsh - Gallagher
Mavididi - Harrop - Horgan
Hugill

Considering that's a "second XI" it's a pretty strong side, and outside of that we've still got May, Doyle, Grimshaw, Pringle, Meulensteen, Earl. Must be the largest squad we've had at this stage of the season for some time.

I think Hugill would have done that today. As I said earlier he should surely start next Saturday. With all respects to Maguire, who seems to have been energetic and committed today, Hugill is still clearly our best candidate to lead the line.

I respectfully disagree. I think he (Maguire) played the line really well and he knackered the Wednesday defence. Hugill benefitted from the shift Maguire had put in.

Same back 5 please. They need games together. Then the other 6 could be a combo of many. Rest Maguire.

Fair enough though I suspect the same would have been true if Hugill had started and Maguire been brought on as sub. If Hugill stays - which I hope he does - then he, Maguire and the newcomer Mavididi will be more than enough for that lone striker role. In that case Mavididi might be more usefully added to the pool for the '3' behind that front man. We would then have a complete alternative to the Barkhuizen, Johnson, Robinson trio that started today of Horgan, Harrop, Mavididi. In that case even if we offloaded Doyle and May the need for any more signings for those two parts of the team does not seen acute, especially since there is also Gallagher. But with only Pearson and Browne for the '2' that sits in front of the defence then that is where a quality signing to provide a bit of strength-in-depth is perhaps most needed.

No, Maguire is the future

I don't know how you can come to that conclusion unless you watched the game, although whatever happened today you'd have said Hugill should start, I suspect.

Hugill did well when he came on for sure, but Maguire was also excellent from the start until he was subbed. He doesn't deserve to be dropped.

As for Accy away, I'd give Boyle, Davies, O'Connor, Welsh, Gallagher, Horgan, Harrop and Mavididi a run out. I'm not underestimating Accy but it's the ideal game to give these guys game time and see how they fit into Neil's system.

I wouldn't underestimate Accrington they will be fired up for this game Coleman will want to win this game.
A couple of changes or rotation for me, momentum is the key.

Frankly I am basing my judgement on how Hugill has played and developed over the last 12 months. Don't get me wrong Maguire looks to have lots of positives and the prospects of him and Hugill competing for that lone striker role or the one subbing the other or the two of them playing as a partnership all look pretty good. But right now Hugill looks to the one who should start - in league games - if it has to be a choice of one or the other.

Yes didn't mean to single you out because you can't watch regularly. I've been based away from Preston myself in the past and probably will be again in future, and I hated missing games.

I just think having actually seen Maguire's performance today for almost 75 minutes, he doesn't deserve to be dropped.

I think Hugill was good when he came, but as Hitch 22 said he did benefit from having fresh legs at that stage.

Agree about Maguire he isn't tall but looks strong ,he ran some good lines and has really good acceleration but we must try and play it into feet with him to make best use of him.Good all round display today, Pearson was terrific ,always available to receive the ball and then get our attacks going whilst putting in a real shift when we were defending.
 
Rudd
Vermijl, Davies, Boyle, O'Connor
Welsh, Gallagher
Mavididi, Harrop, Horgan
May

Give everyone game time. Let 'em stay sharp and impress the manager. If someone gets injured, we want people straight into the team.
 
Harrop won't play, the only plausible reason he wasn't in the starting line up today is that he is injured. I think it will become apparent as the season goes on once fit that Harrop is a massive talent.
