There was plenty going on at Deepdale in the 2021/22 season but ultimately they didn’t really trouble the upper or lower places in the table.
Frankie McAvoy started the campaign as head coach before his sacking in December saw Ryan Lowe step in as manager.
There was an improvement under Lowe but he recognises much work needs to be done this summer to turn North End into a side challenging for the play-offs.
Here are the PNE player ratings for the season for those who started a minimum of four Championship matches.
5. Greg Cunningham 6
The Irishman got more of a chance under Ryan Lowe than he did in Frankie McAvoy's time. Some solid displays down the left, stand-out display was at West Brom with two assists. Rating: 6 Photo: CameraSport - Mick Walker
6. Bambo Diaby 6
Four starts and three sub appearances since signing a short-term deal in January. His displays have been hit and miss but should be much more to come from him next season if he signs a deal. Rating: 6 Photo: CameraSport - Rob Newell
7. Josh Earl 5
A frustrating campaign for Earl, came into the side at Huddersfield early in the season and impressed. But since Ryan Lowe's appointment, has struggled with the attacking part of the wing-back role. Rating: 5 Photo: CameraSport - Rich Linley
8. Ched Evans 5
Injury-hit season for the striker, with him scoring twice - in successive games against Middlesbrough and Fulham. Provides a physical threat but PNE need him available more often. Rating 5 Photo: CameraSport - Dave Howarth
