It's all about opinions and mine is that as well as the team has been playing, we just don't get the numbers we should out of Pritch as an ACM and (for me) his position is under threat due to that and his set price taking has also been relatively poor recently, certainly not up to the standard I've come to expect from him.

Embo seems to do better when coming on from the bench and I'd really like some of these younger players to get some game time from the start, but I'm not sure the timing would be right straight after the break in the season.

Being able to use 5 subs now has managers thinking more about game management and how the squad can be implemented withing the 90+ minutes, its here where I see our young kids and the bench itself making such a difference in the league now and it should see us well going forwards.
 
Simms will come in for Embleton and that'll be that as well as the right call.

Why is anyone pretending otherwise?

Yep this first 11 for me as well. I think we need to play a traditional striker again and would be great if Simms could bang a goal in. Loads of options from the bench as well, I think Matete will be involved, god knows who for though. 09 and Evans a game away from a suspension so others are going to get a chance soon enough.
 
Big team Preston, So I would think TM will want as much height as he can in the team, so I'll expect Alese and Simms (if fit) to keep their places
 
After the last couple of positive performances on the road, now we head back home looking for back to back home wins.

A number of players will think they may have done enough to start? Cirkin and Simms may well be back in the fold.

What side would you like to see take to the field come next saturday?

Are the subs i'd look to make to end the game and maybe use moving forward (until stewart is fit)
It wasn't really until we made subs at Watford. No way should Embleton play with the options we have.

Simms in for Embleton who drops to the bench for me. Pritchard and Roberts will both occupy the space behind Simms at different times and the way we are playing lately the whole formation is very fluid. Great choices off the bench to come on with 30 minutes or so to go as well. Can't wait.


 
Simms in for Embleton would be my only change from the Watford XI. Alese keeps his place ahead of Cirkin for now.

I like Embleton as an option off the bench, especially at home. He’s good at getting on the ball in deeper positions and starting attacks off. Which we very well may need him to do against a resolute Preston side. Bennette and Diallo to come on to run and switch things up.

Yeah, I think Simmo comes back in, Embleton doesn't neccessarily deserve the drop I just think there has to be an out and out attacker on the pitch.

It worked well against reading and worked ok against Watford, a much better side and we were poor in possession. Id back the lads to improve on that, and slowly filter in the new lads

After his trips to South Korea and Uzbekistan (playing tomorrow night) with long flights and different time zones, Bennette needs resting on Saturday. He could come into contention for the Blackpool match.
