Another disappointing afternoon for the Deepdale faithful as Preston failed to capitalise on a tremendous attendance of over 18,000 due to a discounted ticket offer. On the evidence of what those new supporters witnessed today, it is unlikely any of them would pay full price for the privilege.
Preston, missing King, James and Davidson gave a start (and the captaincy) to Wayne Brown who did well considering his unfamiliarity with the team. New loan signing Iain Hume was on the bench.
A drab 90 minutes followed with both teams missing chances but with Norwich coming closest to opening the scoring. The biggest failing for Preston was their inability to keep possession and the wayward passing which, if Norwich were a better team, would have cost them dear.
It was the Norwich captain, Grant Holt who scored the only goal of the game and left Preston in the relegation zone with only one team below them, Portsmouth, who also happen to be the only team Preston have beaten in the league this season.
Match Sponsors, Stagecoach, gave the Man of the Match award to Sean St Ledger and below is footage of him speaking in the Great Room after the match. Apologies for the poor sound and video quality but it was shot on a mobile phone.
