Another United at Deepdale not as famous as the last one but this game is twice as important than the game last Monday.
Scunny have been on a decent run of form under new boss Mark Bobbins, from being marooned at the bottom they have two games in hand and could actually get into the play offs if they win them such is the tightness of the middle parts of th league.
Paddy Madden scoring goals for fun at the moment, no easy game this, Robbins has a good record against us.
Squad wise apart from Little nad Hugill should have a full compliment to pick from. This is where the season starts for real

A home game that you should be winning. With Swindon faltering slightly but Brizzle chugging along, that 2nd auto spot is still up for grabs, winning games like this is crucial to that goal. Also, the Blunts are hot on your heels, need to keep ahead of them.

A drop in the gate of 12000 from the cup tie on Monday night as only proper full time fans turned up for the match. North End in the end eased to victory although if Scunthorpe had taken their early chances they possibly could have kept up their decent recent run.
North End gave a classic after the Lord Mayo's show in the first half being way off the pace against the green shirted visitors. Three times the Iron had chances to go ahead, O'Neill going narrowly wide from 40 yards with keeper Johnstone out of position after a poor clearance, also Hopper should have buried a header but didn't. North End got into the game and were creating chances but were wasting them. Garner looked slightly off the pitch and North End's airborne tactics were not helping.
North End were lucky early in the second half, Madden went close and Gallagher also cleared a shot from the line, i was the last time Scunny got close.
The home side took the lead with a goal created at Villa Park, Robinson was played in down the left hand side and the lVilla loan player squared the ball to his ex Villa team mate Johnson to score from close range.
Pressure valve released North End started to play better and fourteen minutes later were rewarded with a second goal. Robinson down the left again fired in a shot, keeper Daniels could not hold Humphrys crossed the rebound, Gallagher didn't miss. Game more or less over.
A workmanlike rather than spectacular performance, three points and another home game to come on Tuesday.
