PNE finished 10th in the Championship last season
Preston North End chairman Craig Hemmings has described the end to the season as ‘completely unacceptable’ - but taken encouragement from the Lilywhites’ 10th placed finish. The Lilywhites lost their final five matches of the league campaign, without scoring a goal. After 41 games, North End were in the hunt for a play-off place but defeat to Norwich City - at Deepdale - crushed those hopes. PNE started the season extremely well, picking up 20 points from the first eight games.
This was followed by the low of the Autumn slump and then the return to good form post-Christmas. ‘Had I written this overview with five games to go, when we had an outside chance of a place in the Play-Offs, I would have been upbeat about our overall season and the progress we’ve made. Unfortunately, the results in our last five games were totally unacceptable. The end of the season therefore leaves me with the feeling of disappointment.
