It has been revealed that St Ledger played on Saturday with the aid of an injection whilst Chilvers, Trotman, Hart and Davidson are still sometime away from first team action. Coupled with the recent mistakes made by the players on the pitch action needed to be taken.
Brown joins Nolan and Mckeveley on loan at the back and will go straight into the squad to face Watford. Preston have been stretched at the back for the majority of the season through injuries and now the problems have been highlighted with bad form.
