Very talented Leicester side. We asked questions of them second half. Always positives to be taken. McCann looked good going forward and we know he can tackle. Browne same. Storey looked OK. Ched offered a different problem for Leicester and Riis always looks like he’s got a goal in him. Bizarrely I’ve heard a lot about our new recruits and I wasn’t too impressed by Woodman / Brady. We’ve not really addressed WBs although they are key to the system. Really disappointing but not surprising that new recruits will join after pre season. It’s just how it works. Would love to see transfer window fixed to a month say July. Wouldn’t interfere with holidays and would force the deals.

Not sure who you are talking about Bobble?

2nd half much better when we went 2 up top, I thought Ched made a massive improvement, Mcann isn’t a WB and is miles off Browne or DJ as a footballer imo, good goal though.
Some of the play down the left with Brady and Hughes was good, Storey looked a level above Bambo too imo.

Leicester are a class outfit and could easily have had 2-3 more but I thought it was a good work out.

Didn’t go don’t like friendlies my source said about Brady need to keep him interested read into that what you will. I think Leicester are a top top side Harvey Barnes I am staggered he is not at a massive European club. Another my source said (I told you about Robbo money and Archer not dead) Lowe feels we will be right up there a tad optimistic I am led to believe.

In part we played the ball very well.

I thought Brady played well, I think his team mates need to get into the same game.
If he is injury prone like has been suggested, nobody has told him about it because he holds nowt back.

Leicester fan perspective of Deepdale:-


Went to Preston today, first time I've been there for years.
What a fabulous ground, a real proper football ground & has floodlight pylons. Wonderful view from the Bill Shankley Kop, it would be great if they got promoted.

I agree but it is what should be expected, they probably have many players that cost more than our entire squad and Vardy’s wages alone would cover all our players.

Having said that we gave them a good game and in the second half especially we put some good moves together and our goal was a good team goal and fairly decent too.

I also thought Brady looked like even if he wasn’t altogether Premier League quality he had benefited from the experience.
It is said he is injury prone but it looks like nobody has told him about it cos he worked as hard as anyone on the pitch.

Hope we can sign another goal scorer to form a partnership with Riis, it looked like he and Archer were just getting an understanding as the season came to a close.

PS… If Woodburn can keep up the good showing up till now maybe he has the new lease of life that he maybe required.

If another two or three signings are made Mr Lowe will have selection headaches.

Maybe this is the answer to your worries then?

Hopefully yes, but he was only looking around. Maybe he saw that we are a team that he can play with and win something. There will be other Clubs interested
