Double striker worry

Last updated : 24 December 2005 By Andy Parsons

The striking duo are both injured and face late fitness tests before the big game.

Peacock has a slight ankle knock and Graham only returned to full training this week after he picked up an injury against Ipswich.


It is expected that both should be fit to play at Deepdale but if not Barry Corr or Gabby Agbonlahor should step in.


Paul Sturrock also has to decide on the futures of Chris Eagles and Richie Partridge.


Eagles is on a half-season loan from Manchester United and Partridge signed a short term contract at Hillsborough – both deals are set to end next week.


May I also take this opportunity to give all fans of football my best wishes for Christmas and all the best for 2006.
