That's their first goal of the season. Mahoney to take from the right.

When players haven’t played much, that is the biggest drop in their performance, the physical side of things. “He has been integrated into the group really well. “The focus was to get him to a physical level where he could compete and be capable of showing his talents.

Preston North End boss Ryan Lowe has made six changes for his side's Carabao Cup clash with Huddersfield Town.

There are also places on the bench for four youngsters in the PNE squad, Jacob Slater, Lewis Leigh, Dana Amaral and Mikey O’Neill all named as Lowe promised during the week. Lowe experimented in pre-season with a 3-4-2-1 system, with two 10's in behind the main striker, which could be McCann and Woodburn this evening. It is a real shake up to the side, that is normally so consistent, and there could be a change of shape.

Huddersfield Town midfielder Jon Russell has said Danny Schofield's half-time team talk against Birmingham City can be a wake up call.

“Everything we do is based on last season, it’s just getting up to speed and getting a habit and routine going. We’ve just got to get back to where we finished off last season and we’ll be fine. “It’s maybe like a wake-up call just to help us and lift us for the rest of the game and the season ahead, to get our minds right and get our focus correct.

Potts then came close to scoring what would have been an early shout for goal of the season, as he connected perfectly with Greg Cunningham’s cross from the left, and his volley hit the underside of the bar before then bouncing off the post. Ryan Lowe’s side – with six changes from the weekend – were relentless in the opening 45 minutes and were rewarded for their early work, as on six minutes, Parrott opened his account for the club, getting on the end of Lee Nicholls’ parry from Ryan Ledson’s effort, before finding the bottom corner. Brad Potts then got in on the act shortly into the second period, and while Jordan Rhodes was able to pull one back for the hosts, it was PNE who comfortably made their way through to the next round of the competition.
