A third successive start for Harrison Armstrong as Preston travelled to WBA. Albion were leading by a goal to nil at the break and Isaac Price extended their lead on the hour. Armstrong was withdrawn on 69 minutes as Preston chased the game. They pulled one back but finished 2-1 losers. Preston drop to 8th. 6.5 from the Evening Post: "Denied a penalty in the first half. Got on the ball and played with personality."
Martin Sherif not in the match day squad for Rotherham who beat Orient 1-0.

Francis Okoronkwo came on for the last 10 minutes for Lincoln as they protected a 1-0 advantage at home to high flying Stevenage. Lincoln are 6th.
Another full match and a goal and an assist for Isaac Heath as Accrington beat 10 man Swindon at home. That's 2 goals and 2 assists in 8 games so far in his Accrington career. Accrington are 20th.
Fraser Barnsley man of thr match for Marine yesterday, with Samuels Smith a close second.
Barnsley made 3-4 cracking saves and is just an assured keeper. Not sure hell crack the PL, but the lad is the best I have seen at Step 2.
Samuels Smith, lightning quick with great positioning
Loads of great runs.
….much appreciated, Barney. You’d hope our youngsters would be superior at that level. A bit surprised Samuels-Smith has gone there but interesting we have a few goalkeepers going that route.
