Alan Irvine's men earned many admirers last season after reaching the play-off semi-finals before losing 2-1 on aggregate to Sheffield United. The clash with Gary Johnson's side is quickly followed by successive trips to South Yorkshire against Doncaster and Barnsley respectively on August 15 and 18. A busy opening month is completed with a home clash with Peterborough and another trip to Ipswich. North End will face derby rivals Blackpool at Bloomfield Road on November 28 before the return at Deepdale on February 13. They host Barnsley on Boxing Day before facing Sheffield United at Bramall Lane two days later and ending their campaign with a trip to Reading on May 2.
