Preston have until FRIDAY to register 25-man squad for first half of season
Preston North End are in the process of whittling down their squad after the close of the transfer window so to meet EFL regulations.

Regardless of how we feel this has been handled I would assume that conversations have been held with various members of the squad who won't be involved in the first team this season.
Whether that's through lack of interest or players prepared to sit on their wages it is what it is.
Will be interesting if two in particular at reserve football or pick up lots of "niggles" over the next few months.
So who will get left out?
Ripley - has to be a certainty - Lombard can act as cover if we had a disaster.
Harrop - Clearly not arsed about playing football, not his fault that he was given a new contract but appears to have chosen not to go and get games.
Izzy Brown - Injured.
Hunts - Sad as it is and he has my best wishes with whatever has happened but he's had no pre season, not trained and unlikely to play.
Now if they want to sign Wickham the next one is a bit more difficult. Whilst there is a couple who I don't think are good enough I'm unsure if they would leave them out?
Why keep Raferty and then leave him out?
Is Thomas in the plans to play before January? I would think so or why sign him?
Interesting 36 hours ahead.
