Match Preview: Preston North End vs. Huddersfield Town
The relentless Championship schedule is back in full flow and it’s another quick turnaround for Alex Neil and men who face Huddersfield Town at Deepdale on Saturday. North End will be looking to complete a league double over the Terriers for the first time since the 1991/92 season. The game follows a promising 0-0 draw under the lights at Deepdale on Wednesday […]
Post-Match Thoughts: Preston North End vs. QPR
After some time to reflect, here’s my thoughts for From the Finney. On Wednesday night, PNE were hoping to put things right after a drubbing from Cardiff on Saturday when they hosted in-form QPR at a wet and windy Deepdale. QPR were hoping to bring their recent winning form to PR1 but were held to a goalless draw by the Lilywhites who […]
Match Preview: Preston North End vs. Queens Park Rangers
It’s the first of back-to-back home games as a struggling Preston North End face a bang in form Queens Park Rangers side at Deepdale. The midweek fixture comes at probably the worst time for Alex Neil and his men after North End fell to a 4-0 defeat away at Cardiff City last weekend. A Cardiff goal in the opening seconds of each […]
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 […]
Post-Match Thoughts: Cardiff City vs. Preston North End
I think I was part of the vast majority of North End fans when I said I was absolutely dreading going to Cardiff after Tuesday’s loss to Watford. It was PNE’s turn to travel down to the south of Wales, facing recently appointed manager Mick McCarthy’s high-flying bluebirds. Cardiff, under McCarthy, haven’t lost a game in 7 matches with him in the […]
Match Preview: Cardiff City vs. Preston North End
A trip to the Welsh capital is up next for Alex Neil as his team face Mick McCarthy’s in-form Cardiff City side. The Bluebirds have been transformed since the appointment of the former Republic of Ireland manager, going on an unbeaten run of six games, after losing six games in a row before McCarthy’s appointment. During the current six-game unbeaten run, Cardiff […]
Post-Match Thoughts: Preston North End vs. Watford
It was promotion-chasing Watford’s turn to visit Deepdale last night, with both the Hornets and North End coming into the game off the back of victories. Watford hit Bristol City for 6 on Saturday, and would certainly have been in the mood for goals against North End, who saw victory on Friday night against Lancashire neighbours Blackburn Rovers with a fine 2-1 […]
North End Victorious At Ewood Park But What Next?
Preston North End’s 2-1 victory over Blackburn Rovers on Friday night was notable for the way in which Alex Neil’s side approached and executed their gameplan. North End arrived at Ewood Park off the back of one win in six, and left having recorded one of their finest displays of the season to date. The first 40 minutes, in truth, could not […]
Match Preview: Preston North End Vs. Watford
It’s a quick turnaround from the derby day delight at the weekend as Alex Neil’s focus turns to Watford visiting Deepdale on Tuesday night. North End will be looking to close the gap on the play-offs after a very impressive performance at Ewood Park on Friday night. A fine strike from Greg Cunningham and a header from Liam Lindsay saw North End […]
How the Internet and Social Media can Connect Fans
When it was announced that all sports across the UK must come to a standstill back in March of 2020, it all seemed a little weird. There would be no weekends crammed with football, no going to watch your team on a Saturday afternoon at 3pm, no going to the pub and seeing your mates and having a tipple before and after […]
Match Preview: Blackburn Rovers vs. Preston North End
It’s derby day as Preston North End travel to Ewood Park to face Lancashire rivals Blackburn Rovers on Friday night.

Three points separate the two sides as […]
