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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
