Just a thought, but the club are probably looking at how he responds to the operation he had before actually signing anything and it may not be down to Viv.
I do agree though that Blackett Taylor has shown some nice touches and a willingness to run at people and his cameo the other night got people off their seats. I am still not sure Jones will make the move and that would still leave a place for Viv.

Be interesting to see who plays tonight as the u23s are in their final and the young lads will probably fancy a medal!

It's a shame both games are on the same night but with it being our last preseason game we probably want most of our likely first team to be playing 90 mins, so i don't think we'd have been looking to use as many subs anyway. So it might not make a big difference to our approach.
I imagine the majority of young lads who've made cameos but have no realistic chance of starting against Sunderland will probably be playing a full competitive game against Blackburn rather than being a late or unused sub against Preston. I think that works better for everyone.

Would anyone be happy to see Adam Long as a first choice CB, having seen him play alongside Whatmough a few times now, I personally wouldn't be too worried ?

Nope Darikwa was not dreadful. At times tonight he was awesome, tackling like a hero
Overall another cracking game and a lot of good performances ….I’m not Darikwa’s biggest fan but I thought he was excellent 1st half defensively and he crossed for the opening goal ….think the quality of the cross ‘forced’ the o.g. .if he hadn’t hit it the Preston player probably had a tap in.
I have to say I was in the “Max Power …100% effort player …but not good enough” camp…but I thought he was a revelation tonight driving the team on and playing some cracking balls forward….He looks super fit and based on the admittedly limited evidence of a couple of friendlies…it seems as if his game has matured a lot. Keane if he stays fit is also class fir this division ….Humphrys looks right at home ….and Wyke may have to go through what Kieffer Moore did in terms of taking him till half way through the season to properly bed in …..not getting much to feed on so far but they pushed the ‘wages boat’ out to get him so the Mgmnt team must have plans to suit him.
(Oh and Amos the keeper was excellent)
