Following the 3-0 away victory over Scunthorpe United on Tuesday night there is renewed optimism at Deepdale. Just as many fans began to accept that League One was the only place the club was heading, Phil Browns men put in a warrior like performance to install a late surge for survival. Saturday is another massive game against Coventry City who will be no push over, the manager-less side sacked Aidy Boothroyd during the week and later played out a very creditable 2-2 draw away at promotion chasing Burnley, they will no doubt be up for a battle. We need your support. Back the boys Saturday 3pm. Come on you whites.
