It's absolutely drenching down in St.Annes right now and, according to the forecast, heading for Accy. No way a game could be played in this. Just hope it dumps most of its load on the Fylde in the next hour, otherwise Somerset is going to be mightily disgusted before the season's even started.
 
We've had no rain as yet in Accrington - had times when it felt like it was closing in then it's cleared over, fingers crossed we might miss the worst of it
 
overall i thought Preston played the best of the 3 weve played? also thought we did, People should remember these bigger/better off clubs than us, certainly aren't playing a few trialists, they have bigger more settled squads, reckon moaning minnie J.C. should take that on board.;)
 
Really efficient display from the Championship squad, controlled the possession, and used the full width of the pitch, without doing anything flashy. Thought Stanley were a bit disjointed in the first half but was impressed with Ogle (has a terrific throw) and Sykes. Nolan looked like he had potential too. Two wingers struggled a bit though to get behind their defence. Their two goals seemed too easy, but were well taken.
Thought Preston's second half XI were even better, but so were Stanley's. Chapman made up for the goals (both low) with two terrific second half saves (both high shots).
Great header from Beccles to create the first goal for Stanley and it was worth the gate money to see 'Man Mountain' Matty Pearson storming through for the second.
Disappointing result for the manager, I'm sure, but, as Cashy said, they were up against what looked like a well-drilled outfit who knew each other's game and roles. Can't imagine there'll be many League 2 teams that could display such consistency over 90 minutes.
