Preston North End player ratings vs Hull City as crazy red card compounds heavy loss
Milutin Osmajic was sent off deep into second half injury time
Preston North End were thumped 0-3 by Hull City on Tuesday night.
Here are our player ratings from Deepdale.
Jack Walton: Little he could do about the first two goals. Will be disappointed with the third. Smart save to deny Gelhardt. 5.5
Pol Valentin: One of the better performers in the first half. Delivered one dangerous cross which wasn’t met. Made way at the break as PNE changed shape. 5.5
Jordan Storey: Blocked a McBurnie shot in the first half. Part of a vulnerable North End defence on the night. 5
Lewis Gibson: Shifted back into the middle but not yet back into the swing of things post-injury. Some disappointing forward passes. 4
Odel Offiah: Played on the left in the first half but that didn’t work too well. Moved over to right back in the second. There was endeavour but a tough night for all. 5.5
Thierry Small: Struggled to hurt Hull. One of three half time changes. Sent one wicked cross in but nobody latched on to it. 5
Ben Whiteman: Pitch hindered him twice in the first half - once for a shot and secondly for a pass through to Osmajic. A fairly ordinary 75 minutes. 5
Jordan Thompson: Tried to start with energy and intent. His scuffed shot led to Hull’s opener. Kept going but to no avail. 5
Alfie Devine: Carried the ball at times and tried to add a spark but even he couldn’t inject any life into it. 5.5
Michael Smith: Made way at the break. One nice reverse into Whiteman but struggled on the whole. 4
Milutin Osmajic: Didn’t cause Hull many problems. Then got sent off in the 96th minute for headbutting John Lundstram. 2
Jamal Lewis: Tried to be positive in possession but the night had gone. Couldn’t stop the cross for Hull’s third. 5
Lewis Dobbin: Came on at half time but barely saw the ball. 5
Daniel Jebbison: Put himself about but wasn’t able to threaten - ought to have had the ball played across to him on the counter but it didn’t arrive. 5
Ali McCann: The game was gone by the time he came on. 5.5
Brad Potts: Curled a shot at goal. Suffered with a knock towards the end. 5.5
