PNE fans will be delighted with the news today that Jamaican Claude Lewis has finally got his work permit – but he WON’T be able to play in tonights cup game at Deepdale against Notts County.
Craig Brown will look to rest a few of his players that played against West Ham, such as Eddie Lewis, who hasn’t had a break since last season due to international duty.
Notts County will want to forget their first game of the season, a 5-0 drubbing against Bristol City at Ashton Gate, and start afresh with the hard challenge against Preston tonight.
County manager Dearden may look to change a few players who made a humiliating display against City. Keeper Garden was the fault of a few of the goals, so the gaffer may look to put in Mildenhall in goal. Ex Spurs and Reading midfielder Darren Caskey will be out of the game due to suspension, so PNE will be relieved as he is great at set-pieces and attacking play.
