Preston's 5-1 defeat Yesterday means they've only taken 13 points from the last 15 games.

After 7 games, Preston were top of the Championship after winning 19 points from a possible 21 and only conceding 5 goals.

They’ve now won 3 games in 15 and conceded the most goals in the division in that time.

As I said at the time they were in a false position with a goal diff showing they had let in 1 more goal than scored

Agree, also said that.

They were unlucky to lose to us to be fair, but gone downhill since there.

They were always relying on their strong defensive record. When that went, they’d always slip down.

Expect them to settle down to midtable which is what I would have expected for them pre-season.

Preston remind me a lot of us a few years back.
I think it was 2006/07 season.

We won first 6 on the bounce, including beating Birmingham City 2-0 (who back then were a yo-yo club)
But, we never had the depth to keep it going and eventually finished around mid-table.

Always felt the same about Preston’s start to the season.
