PNE relegated after 11 seasons in the Championship

25th, April 2011 by

The Championship’s longest serving team have been relegated to League One after losing 1-0 to Cardiff. Although Preston North End performed much better than they did on Saturday they couldn’t find a way past Cardiff’s resolute defence. Peter Whittingham gave Cardiff the lead early on and even though they grew into the game PNE didn’t have enough going forward to force a positive result. North [...]

LIVE: PNE v Cardiff City

25th, April 2011 by

Preston North End will hope to bounce back against Cardiff at Deepdale this afternoon. After a poor performance against Millwall on Saturday PNE know they are down if they lose and Crystal Palace win. On the other hand if North End win and results go their way they will be just two points short of safety. PNE will have their work cut out against the [...]

Preston North End travel to the capital knowing a win would put them within sight of safety. It was a very Good Friday for North End yesterday with Scunthorpe, Doncaster and Crystal Palace all dropping points. That means that a PNE win would put them just two points off 21st placed Palace. But the Lilywhites know that a win will be difficult against this season’s [...]

PNE’s cutting edge too much for the Blades

16th, April 2011 by

North End have moved to within four points of safety thanks to a brilliant Keith Treacy brace against Sheffield United. This match between the Championship’s bottom two sides was always going to be a close one but thanks to PNE’s left winger the hosts managed to shade it. After the second half ended goalless Treacy scored two in the second half and although Jordan Slew [...]

Preston North End need to beat Sheffield United at Deepdale if they are to have any chance of staying up. Although PNE have got used to big games recently this one could make or break their season. Win and North End could be just four points off safety, lose and they’ll be playing in League One next season. Phil Brown isn’t likely to make any [...]

A thrilling game at the Keepmoat Stadium ended in a draw as both sides went all out for the win. The hosts took the lead through former Preston North End man Brian Stock on 77 minutes but just three minutes later substitute Paul Hayes equalised for PNE. Both sides had plenty of chances to score but let themselves down in the final third with both [...]

In-form Preston North End travel to Doncaster tonight still seven points short of safety. PNE have earned 10 points from their last five games while tonight’s hosts have won only one of the last 13 and are in relegation trouble themselves. A month ago Doncaster looked almost safe but after a poor run of form they sit 20th in the table and North End will [...]

North End grab a vital point against Pompey

9th, April 2011 by

Preston North End were lucky to pick up a point from their game away to Portsmouth. Although PNE went in one up at half time the hosts dominated the second half and had more than enough chances to win. Iain Hume gave North End the lead but half an hour later Greg Halford equalised. Ex-PNE man David Nugent had a number of chances in the [...]

North End’s great escape disrupted by Reading

6th, April 2011 by

Reading beat Preston North End 2-1 leaving the Lilywhites deep in relegation trouble. The hosts took the lead after 20 minutes through a Jimmy Kebe header but PNE cancelled it out when Reading’s goalkeeper Alex McCarthy scored an own goal. From that moment on the Royals controlled the game and substitute Hal Robson – Kanu got the winner 10 minutes from time. PNE made one [...]

Preston North End hope to take another step towards safety tonight when they face Reading. If PNE do manage a win tonight it will be their first ever at the Madejski Stadium, they haven’t won away to Reading since 1982 when the Royals played at Elm Park. Although North End are in good form, having won their last three, Reading are playing even better with [...]

Heroic Hume drags PNE off the bottom

2nd, April 2011 by

Preston North End beat Swansea to record three wins in a row for the first time in two years. PNE played superbly and more than deserved their 2-1 win against the side currently sitting third in the Championship. PNE took the lead early on when Iain Hume scored from the penalty spot but Swansea were soon on level terms thanks to Ashley Williams. The score [...]

PNE look for hat-trick of wins to climb off the bottom

1st, April 2011 by

Preston North End host Swansea tomorrow hoping to move off the bottom of the table. If PNE are to do that they will need to beat a team in the top half of the table for the first time this season. Although North End have won their last two games they will have their work cut out tomorrow. The high flying Swans are currently third [...]
