All of the goals were scored in the second half as Richard Wood and Matt Crooks scored for the Millers, with Ryan Ledson getting his first Preston goal.
Here's how the players fared on the day...
5. Joe Rafferty - 6
Solid defensively as per usual but didn't get forward down the left like he sometimes can. Quality of his set pieces and crossing was poor on the day.
6. Ryan Ledson - 7
One of few to come away with credit, he tried to show some composure and quality on the ball. A bonus will be adding his first PNE goal to get his side back level though it'd be in vain.
7. Alan Browne - 6
Looked out of sorts, coming off the back of an energised display where he was involved in most things, he rarely kept possession. Ended up at right back but will have better days.
8. Scott Sinclair - 5
Largely a passenger throughout the game and failed to ever really threaten. As was an issue all day, most balls towards forwards ended in a turnover of possession.
