For those romantically involved it is Valentine's Day on Tuesday, invite yout partner to a candlelight dinner albeit four floodlight pylons and a pie and a pint and watch North End take on Birmingham City at what will be a half empty Deepdale, yesterday on a bone chilling Saturday we managed 10130, given Tuesday night is a Champions League night when Preston based supporters of PSG and Benfica get to see their favourites on TV giving up the opportunity of watching their local club play.
Given it is the Blues we are playing there might be a decent turnout of City fans which may give the ground a better atmosphere.
City arrive on the back of 1 win in the last 12 games after surprisingly potting Gary Rowett, they have gone from play off hopefuls to mid table nothingness, they really need to win on Tuesday to keep alive their slim hopes in the end of season party, North End meanwhile seven points from six place also need a week, probably this is a season defining week, given we have the Pies away on Saturday.
From what I saw of the Blues game on Friday night, they actually looked to be the better side until Wednesday bombed in two late goals, but as decent as they are going forward they seem to be a bit crap at the back letting in 18 goals from crosses or free kicks, pity Gallagher will probably not be fit however we didn't miss him yesterday.
Since being parachuted into the job by the Chinese owners Zola has spent a bit of money bringing a lad from the Italian second division Cheick Keita who looked a really good attacking wing back, Gardner, Nsue and Bielik are also newbies.
Sadly for Zola both Morrison and Shotton are out injured which leaves them a little bit short at the back. Whilst the useful Clayton Donaldson is also out.
Last three games between the sides have been draws.
Should be same again for North End, Gally, Welsh, Woods are likely to be missing, as I said a big week if we can win Tuesday and Saturday we may still sneak a play off place.
