GRITTY RESULT BODES WELL

FOOTBALL can be a funny old game. Preston were dominant in this match from start to finish. To concede a lastminute equaliser is a real kick in the teeth for Simon Grayson’s men.

For the majority of the match, Sheffield Wednesday were well off the pace. If you were to guess which of these sides were in the play-offs, you wouldn’t have picked the Owls.

But scoring late goals to secure crucial points is a must-have trait for teams who harbour hopes of promotion and as such the result may give Carlos Carvalhal added satisfaction. They didn’t deserve it, but it could be a huge point come May.
