Preston North End Post Match Thoughts

[Godsend.F.C.]

Give PNE some credit.
Ryan Lowe has them set up strong & organised in defence.
North End are an established championship club something we need to aspire to.
They're difficult to break down - don't score many - don't concede many - minus 5 in the gd.
They ran us ragged at times & looked a yard quicker & knew what to do with the ball.

Us - reckon he set up wrong across the back line - even allowing for Tyler Blackett not being 100% he ought to have started even if he only played for 45mins.
We couldn't break them down - lack of nous & ran out of ideas when around their box.
Didn't create enough where it matters.
Still a soft underbelly defensively - appealing for offside instead of being aware there's a yellow shirt unmarked on the far post for the first goal.
Decent goal from Evans although we gave him far too much space to control-turn & shoot.

Did the hard bit getting back in the game - quality goal from a set piece - any striker would have been proud of that.

Not too many positives from that game - disappointing result - even more disappointing performance.
If they do the same on Saturday they will get the same result.
