Did not deserve that one bit. Preston soooo fucking lucky to snatch anything there, particularly off of a massive deflection. If we weren't coming into this game off the back of an busy international break with a depleted squad of players we would've wiped the floor with them today. Given the changes we had to make, with some making their first start for the club and others exhausted after being away and doing all that travelling, it was a brilliant effort, and one that merited all 3 points.
Ultimately though there is always a risk of this happening if you don't extend a 1-0 lead, and we had so many opportunities to do that. I know Pukki is one of those who played 3 international games during the break, but he simply has to score one of the 3 one on one's that he had. Do that and it's game over.
The lads that came in were all excellent. Mumba and Quintilla both really impressive, Sorenson generally was solid in midfield, but Omobamidele was the highlight of them all. You'd never know it was his first ever start for the club, he looked so assured in difficult circumstances and didn't put a foot wrong all game. A real shame that goal took a big deflection off him, he didn't deserve that at all and I hope it doesn't dent the confidence that he's hopefully gained from that performance. I definitely have no problems with him starting alongside Hanley for the remainder of the season. Has to be said as well, Emi Buendia is an absolute joke, another dazzling display from him.
2 games now against teams just above the bottom 3, so a great opportunity to get back to winning ways. Still 11 unbeaten and miles clear at the top!
