Preston are seeking a consistent formation since the arrival of Darren Ferguson. The result against Derby was disappointing after a good start.
Tuesday 16th: Derby 5 PNE 3. From 1-0 up to 5-2 down.
Darren and the teams record in the league is:
Bpl h.0-0, Sheff U h. 2-1, Swansea a. 0-2, Barnsley h.1-4, Ipswich h. 2-1, Peterborough a. 1-0, Bristol C a.2-4.
Played 8, W3, D1, L4, F11, A17, pts 10 out of 24. With 15 games to go, the trend takes them to about 18 more points which will give them 57. Enough. Phew!
In the past a struggle in January and such a forecast has resulted in a lot more points. Sometimes your luck runs out though.
Saturday PNE are at Newcastle who won 4-1 tonight. Forecast 1-1. Defence sorted. Good result. Well done to the team and Darren.
