Championship Match 46

Last day of the Season!

Preston North End vs Leeds

^{Saturday 7th May - 12:30pm - Deepdale}

Build up

Do you have your tickets? It's sure to be a bouncing atmosphere at Deepdale come Saturday for the final game of the season when the Leeds Scum come across the pennines. Amazingly, unless it ends up an absolute landslide to Leeds, even with a win, they wont be able to finish above us. So that's good news. Anyway, cheers everyone, it's been a good season overall - we held are own in the Championship the first year back and even showed a bit of promise heading for the playoffs. Maybe with the right luck, lack of injuries and investment, we can push for the playoffs next season.

Verdict

Had 0-0 all over it but thanks to a moment of craziness from Kirkland, the scoring opened up later on but Hugill saved our skins with a last minute goal. A fair result in the end and we finished the season above them! All round a great result and a very solid first season back in the Championship.

/u/BillyUK will be in charge of the end of year awards which will happen in the next few days. I'll also open up a discussion thread for the end of the season soon and we can keep an eye on transfers etc.

Thanks for following the Lilywhites in the 15/16 season - been a pleasure as always.

Simon Says

"Today has summed up a lot of things we have done this year. We have played well, defended well, but just not been ruthless enough in the opposition’s 18 yard box.

We had chances, but we took the wrong decision of not shooting when we should do and then shooting when we should have passed. It has been something we have talked about. We have to be better at those things next year, but ultimately we are picking at little things."
