Match notes:

Compared to the Preston North End game, John Salako and Steve Brown replaced the injured Andy Hughes and John Mackie in the starting line-up. Omar Daley filled the gap on the bench left by Salako.

Steve Sidwell's booking was his fifth of the season and means he will miss the home game with Wigan Athletic.

Match preview:

None.

Ticket information:

There was a special ticket offer for youngsters relating to this game when it was scheduled for Saturday, 7th September. If you buy (at the same time) tickets for this game and the Australia v Jamaica game then there was a reduced price for this game. I assume that this still applies - other prices and details are the same as for standard home games, and are available here.
