Match Preview: Preston North End vs. Norwich City
North End return to action this weekend after the international break and will line up for the first time since August 2017, without being managed by Alex Neil. Frankie McAvoy, Alex Neil’s former assistant, has been named as the interim head coach for the remainder of the campaign with the sole aim of ensuring safety and his reign will start with the […]
Ranking the 5 Best Alex Neil Signings
A lot has been said over the last few months about the club and Alex Neil’s time in charge, exacerbated by the fact that we are all stuck at home and social media is our only real outlet. A perhaps underrated aspect of lockdown football for those who regularly attend is that just turning to your mate, family member or usual faces […]
Alex Neil: A Trip Down Memory Lane
There’s a saying in football that you’ve probably all heard before – “play for the name on the front of the shirt, and they’ll remember the name on the back.” Alex Neil hasn’t featured as a player for Preston North End, but it’s clear for all to see that he gave absolutely everything for that famous Lilywhites. This piece is my attempt […]
5 Talking Points from a Busy Few Days
It’s been a busy few days since the defeat away at Boro last Tuesday night. I’ve got 5 different talking points below that some of you might think are on the negative side. Please, bear with me as I think these are all important talking points and things that need to be brought up. Is Alex Neil at Fault? Sunday afternoon saw […]
Match Preview: Preston North End vs. Luton Town
We’re back at Deepdale to face Luton Town on Saturday afternoon after North End suffered back to back away defeats. The game follows on from a midweek defeat for Alex Neil, a defeat that seemed to be the tipping point for a lot of fans with what feels like more people than ever calling for him to be relieved of his duties […]
Match Preview: Middlesbrough vs. Preston North End
It’s a very quick turnaround from Saturday’s defeat in Buckinghamshire as Alex Neil’s men travel to the North East to face Neil Warnock’s Middlesbrough side on Tuesday night. Neil Warnock hasn’t enjoyed his last few encounters with North End or Alex Neil, going 3 games without a win against North End and never beating Alex Neil as a manager. But we haven’t […]

Match Review
5 Talking Points From the Last Week
Had the second half been as dismal as the first on Saturday, I feel this piece would have had a lot more of a negative focus. A lacklustre performance away at Millwall (despite a superb Ched Evans volley) followed by a very poor first-half showing against Bournemouth and it looked like it would be a week with 0 points and not much […]
Post-Match Thoughts: Preston North End vs. Bournemouth
If you told me before the season that we’d take four points from Bournemouth, I’d have snapped your hand off. Saturday was a day for a Deepdale return for Ben Pearson who had left for the south coast in the January window. Sadly for him, there was no party in Preston, as North End managed to pull level in the second half […]
Post-Match Thoughts: Preston North End vs. Huddersfield Town
A win, putting our chances away, attractive football and distancing ourselves from the bottom pack. Are we dreaming? Or is this a reality? North End did everything but score on Wednesday night against QPR, positive signs all around but you don’t win games if you don’t score goals. I’m sounding a bit like Michael Owen here, but it’s true. PNE had gone […]
Analysis
Has The Impressive Daniel Iversen Exposed a Weakness at North End?
Following a very busy January transfer window in which North End brought 8 players to the club, the one position that very few perhaps expected a signing was the goalkeeping department. Declan Rudd, who signed a new 3-year deal in the previous April, was an ever-present the season before and played all but one of the games this term. However, following a […]
Analysis of Jayson Molumby: The Complete Midfielder
This piece from Josh Knowles (@JKnowlesSport) has had some input from Oli (@gorn__). Josh has written the piece and the majority of it is Josh’s, Oli has just added a few of the tactical bits. Now, onto Jayson Molumby. Jayson Molumby was a highly anticipated signing when he was announced as Preston North End’s first signing of the window on a loan […]
What Can We Expect to See from Ben Whiteman as He Joins “Massive” Preston North End
The January transfer window is well underway and North End have had an unusually fast start by completing three new loan signings, including highly-rated Irish international, 21-year-old Jayson Molumby. Now a fourth player has been added to their ranks after completing the signing of Ben Whiteman on a 3-and-a-half-year contract. The imposing central midfielder joins North End from Doncaster for a “significant […]
