Who was your number 4? - he looked a player and a half.

I think it was Richard Chaplow (we don't wear squad numbers for friendlies) - if he had a completely bald head it was him.
We bought Chaplow from West Brom and at the beginning of last season -he was superb. He then got injured (hamstring). When he came back after the injury, he was awful and you could visibly see the confidence draining from him. He went back on the sick list and Al Irvine has used him sparingly in friendlies. I think he is going to be the 'main man' in our central mid field this season - IF HE CAN STAY FIT!! Thought Barry Nicholson played well alongside him. We got him from Aberdeen. I got the impression that you guys aren't over keen on Aberdeen!

That's the guy. He looked strong in the tackle and he read the game superbly.

(and I can think of at least 3 more teams in Scotland whom us Hibbies detest more than Aberdeen!)

Thought he was bobbins when I saw PNE play at Chorley the other week, to be honest. Always rated Chaplow ever since he first broke in to the first team at Burnley a few years ago.

Not particularly but that's more to do with his Rangers connections from earlier in his career. We're not too fond of them but then, who is?

Anyway good performance from you guys on Saturday, particularly in the second half. It was a good test for us to play a team like Preston as it lets us know how much we need to improve.

All the best for the coming season.

Thought Chaplow was excellent and your big strikers would trouble most defences....although ours wasn't the sternest test

Mind you I thought Michael Hart was poor, dunno how he could make it as a regular in the Championship. Anyway all the best for the season.

Thanks for all those replies guys. Interesting that we are having the Hart/Jones debate.
Will pass on some of your thoughts to our fellow 'Nobbers'

Chaplow (no4) was an animal, an animal we badly need.

the keeper had an excellent game too as did your centre half (no 5).

we could swap those 3 for zouma!
