Match report
Thanks for following along today.
If you want a more traditional method of looking at the game, Doug Thomson’s on the whistle report is here.
Have a lovely week and we’ll see you in Nottingham next week for Forest away.
Onwards and upwards!
FT Preston 2-1 Town
Full time. That’s it. Hugely disappointing and another reminder of the fine margins in games like this as Town go down 2-1 to Preston with an agonising late winner.
Five minutes added
90. FIVE minutes of stoppage time to be played. Can either side find a winner here?
Just wide!
86. Great work from Wells to turn away from his man and strike one from distance - only just wide.
Town fans still singing
84. Awkward moment as the home fans, who have been comprehensively outsung by the Town faithful, try to get a chorus of “You’re Not Singing Anymore” going.
Except the away end is still singing and the drum is still beating.
Goal PNE
83. Gallagher’s shot deflects into the back of the net via Joel Lynch.
Preston 1-1 Huddersfield Town
Billing blocks
82. This might get tense. Preston throw the kitchen sink at this free kick and Billing somehow gets in there to block Browne’s effort.
Matmour booked
81. File that one under taking one for the team. Matmour takes down Reach to stop a Preston break.
Wells gives Town the lead
That seemed to take an age to go over the line! But Wells is gets there ahead of Lindegaard and it rolls over.
Preston 0-1 Huddersfield
Town sub - ELVIS!
78. Here he is! Elvis Manu on to save the day! Harry Bunn goes off for the Dutchman.
Preston freekick
74. Gallagher whips in another set piece that is headed about the box by PNE and Town heads but eventually Town clear. Lynch’s head always seems to rise highest at these occasions.
Handbags
71. Good Town attack orchestrated by Billing, who finds Wells and he curls the ball out to Paterson. Jamie cuts back inside and tries to feed Wells, but the striker slips over in the area.
Clarke and Wells do a squaring up manoeuvre but there is little in that and we move on.
Steer saves
70. Good period for Preston as Husband has to cut out a dangerous attack, but they come back and eventually Steer saves from Daniel Johnson’s effort from just outside the box.
Johnson has made a real impact for Simon Grayson’s men.
This man has been everywhere today
Town close again!
63. Agonising for Town fans this! A quick break and the ball falls to Joe Lolley - his low effort is blocked and falls to Paterson who sees Lindegaard prevent him from scoring.
Got to make these count, lads...
Chance for Preston!
60. The hosts’ turn to spurn a chance skywards - Joe Garner heads over the top with that double change nearly paying off immediately.
Double change for Preston
57. Double sub for the hosts as John Welsh and Daniel Johnson come on for Jordan Hugill and Callum Robinson.
So close!
54. Inches away from the opener! Excellent build-up by Town and Nahki Wells finds Tommy Smith on the right hand side of the area and his shot is so close to creeping in the right side of the post!
Still 0-0 - just.
Tackle Cranie
51. Excellent challenge by Cranie in the area to end a Preston attack a minute after Jed Steer had confidently claimed a cross. Preston coming back into this now - going to be tight you feel.
