Scott Sinclair: A Statistical Analysis
Scott Sinclair’s clinical brace at Brentford took his goal tally to 6 in North End colours, meaning he has only scored more goals for 3 other clubs – Swansea, Villa and Celtic. That’s quite an astonishing statistic for somebody who has represented 14 clubs, but perhaps it highlights just how patchy his career has been. Now 31, you could pin the blame […]
Ryan Ledson: Coming of Age
For a number of years now, North End have bought players based on their potential. Ryan Ledson is one of those and he’s now starting to show signs of reaching that potential, something that the club clearly thought he was capable of reaching back in 2018.

Tactical Preview: Preston North End vs. Derby County

It was North End’s 4th defeat in 5 league games, and tensions were starting to run a little high. Alex Neil sounded fed up in his […]
The Future’s Bright for Preston North End
The youth team at North End, as is the same at every club, has the potential to be something special. With the recent announcement that Springfields is set to be improved and the plan being that eventually, the under 18’s will move there, I thought it would be an appropriate time to have another look at what the future of the club […]
