Options limited for Brown

06 May 2011 08:30
Preston boss Phil Brown is again missing a number of players as his relegated side end their campaign at home to Watford. Midfielder Paul Coutts will play no part after he underwent surgery this week to rectify groin problems which have hampered him for much of the season. Centre-back Leon Cort is sidelined with a hamstring injury while fellow defenders Sean St Ledger, Conor McLaughlin and David Gray are already on the injured list. Striker Chris Brown is rated as doubtful with a back problem but midfielder Ian Ashbee has trained this week despite a shoulder injury. Forward Iain Hume has been passed fit while a number of youngsters who featured in last weekend`s defeat at Ipswich could be handed another opportunity to shine.
