Blackpool 1 Preston 4

The match took place in Fleetwood and Preston brushed aside the Seasisders which impressed Billy Billy. what was even more impressive - wait for it, you may not believe me - Andy Smith bagged a goal in North End colours and so to did Callum Davidson!

Danny Dichio also bagged a brace to keep himself in form ahead of the festive season. Simpson will now be looking for these injured players to be joining upto the first team squad over the busy period to possibly play some part.
