It was a long time in the waiting but after 12 years we finally got a win at Deepdale. We’ve been close a few times, none more so than last season, when an injury-time equaliser robbed us of all three points, but on Saturday we stayed firm, defended liked warriors, and got the all-important victory.
It extended our unbeaten record in 2023, stretching the run to eight games. It was also the first double over the Lilywhites since 1996.
Despite January transfer window signings Anis Mehmeti and Harry Cornick joining the club, it was no surprise to see just the one change to the starting line-up with Cameron Pring coming back in after suspension for Jay Dasilva.
