Preston North End player ratings vs Norwich City with 5/10s in fourth consecutive defeat
A fourth defeat on the bounce for the Lilywhites
Preston North End were beaten 2-0 by Norwich City on Saturday afternoon.
Here are our player ratings from Carrow Road.
Daniel Iversen: Not much he could do about the free-kick but really poor for the first goal, parrying it into danger. 5
Jordan Storey: Kvistgaarden got away from him for the opener and he wasn’t able to block the shot. Diverted a goal bound effort over at two-nil. Sloppy in possession. 5
Liam Lindsay: Slotted back into the heart of defence and wasn’t one of the poorer performers. Five interceptions and three clearances. 6
Andrew Hughes: Blew hot and cold. Missed a glorious chance to get PNE back into the game with a point blank header. 5
Odel Offiah: Ahmed reacted faster than him to score on the rebound. Tried to drive with the ball but was contained. Got through an hour or so. 5
Thierry Small: Started with intent down the left but drifted in and out of the contest, without ever really hurting Norwich. 5.5
Ben Whiteman: Directed a decent headed chance straight at the Norwich goalkeeper at one-nil. Wasn’t really able to get hold of the game. 5
Jordan Thompson: Penalised for the free-kick which McClean stuck away. Worked hard but to no avail. 5
Andrew Moran: Looked bright on his first start. Wanted to be positive on the ball, often looking forwards. 6
Lewis Dobbin: Norwich dealt with their former loan man effectively. Got away once in the second half and sent a swerving strike agonisingly wide from range. 5
Daniel Jebbison: Kept going until the end and brought others into play a few times. Placed a good early opportunity into the side netting. 5.5
Pol Valentin: Came on for the final 25 minutes or so. Didn’t make much of an impact. 5.5
Brad Potts: Added a different dynamic in midfield but couldn’t get Preston back in the match. Sliced a shot wide from distance. 5.5
Alfie Devine: His free-kick was right on the money for Hughes’ chance. Sent some quality into the box. 6
Robbie Brady: Came on for the last 10 minutes. One shot on target from him. 5
Michael Smith: A big chance fell to him late on from a few yards out but he got it all wrong. 5
