Without tempting fate, Preston have taken only two points from seven away games while manager Paul Simpson is facing calls for his head. Surely three points for the taking or is that too optimistic? Who would you pick up front? McPhee and Campbell made for a good pairing up front at Burnley but Dean Windass helped give Preston a touch-up last season. Decisions, decisions for Mr Brown once more. Let's hear your views. |

I even think I can see his engine beginning to die a little. There's only so long your body can hold up at this level of the game and I think his age is starting to show. If we can't beat preston tomorrow then we have some problems. I'd like to see us throw caution to the wind and throw everything at them, but that doesn't seem to be Mr Brown's modus operandi. What do you reckon? |

What do you reckon? no i really dont agree windass is the only player at the club who can score 20 goals a season and folan cannot complete 90 mins away from home!!! |

Henrik Pederson needs to lose about 30 stone to be fit and then were class!!!!!!! Hi Wright, McPhee arguably had his best game in a City shirt against Burnley so to drop him would be very harsh. It could be Campbell who get's moved aside in favour of Windass. He has looked a touch out of sorts since the Barnsley supershow and with a slight toe injury, he could be the one to make way. As for Pedersen, Brown is expecting him back for the Scunny game. |

Deano will always have a worth this season (four goals already) when he's fit but when your £1million signing is ready, it will be difficult to overlook him. Can the pair play together? I doubt it. As for tomorrow, Preston are a team with very fragile confidence. Get at them early doors with a goal and victory should be City's. |

Will he be on the bench, or will he have to wait for anothe couple of weeks? Also, what's happened to Barmby? Is he still injured, and will he ever make it back to the 1st team? |

Given the strength of depth in attack when all are fit, he may find his chances limited at some point. If he does manage to get 20 though, City will not be far off the play-offs. |

Is he still injured, and will he ever make it back to the 1st team? Folan was getting assessed this morning but I would suggest that tomorrow's game will be too much of a risk. Given that there's a two-week break ahead of us, I think Brown may opt to give him time and not rush. As for Barmby, he's targeting a playing return in the reserves two weeks from now so expect to see him challenging for the first-team by early December. |

Again no room for sentiment. Let's move on |
