Preston North End player ratings vs Blackburn Rovers with 5/10s in last gasp defeat

Preston North End were beaten 1-0 in the last seconds of Friday night’s Lancashire derby at Blackburn Rovers.

Here are our player ratings from Deepdale.

Dai Cornell: One or two shaky first half moments. One big intervention second half and a couple of saves. Beaten in the 95th minute. 6.5

Jordan Storey: Defensively OK. His forward passing on the night was poor and frustrating. 5.5

Lewis Gibson: Swept up when needed a few times but couldn’t help see the clean sheet through. 6

Andrew Hughes: Steady enough on his first start for a few weeks post-injury. 6

Pol Valentin: Had a quiet 55 minutes. Never really got into it. 5

Andrija Vukcevic: Started OK but drifted out. Wasteful with one decent opening down the left, early in the second half. 5

Ben Whiteman: Tackled, cleared and blocked over the course of the game. One of few who moved the ball with accuracy throughout. 6.5

Ali McCann: Put the work in as usual. Not at his all action best. 6

Alfie Devine: Some bright moments in the first half but drifted out of the game. 6

Lewis Dobbin: Forced a save after a mazy, solo run into the Blackburn box first half. A tough game for him to consistently impact. 6

Milutin Osmajic: Put himself about but to little avail for his 70 minutes. Dropped in and won some free kicks. 5

Jamal Lewis: Didn’t really inject anything into the game off the bench. 5

Thierry Small: Was deployed much higher up the pitch and tried to add some intent to the performance. Ohashi got away from him for the winner. 5

Callum Lang: Couldn’t get into the match. Booked straight after coming on. 5

Daniel Jebbison: A similar story for the striker. Barely had a kick. 5

Odel Offiah: Flipped between right and left centre-backs for the last 15 minutes. 5.5
