Preston North End player ratings vs QPR with great moment for one man but horrible for another
PNE hit the front through Brad Potts but an unfortunate Thierry Small own goal saw the Rs take a point
Preston North End drew 1-1 with Queens Park Rangers on Easter Monday.
Here are our player ratings from Deepdale.
Daniel Iversen: Didn’t have much to do for most of the game but some big saves were needed late on, twice to deny Bennie. 7.5
Jordan Storey: Seven clearances, two interceptions and two tackles so plenty of interventions over the piece. 6
Lewis Gibson: Blew hot and cold upon his return to the side. Blocked a dangerous Vale shot in the second half. 6
Andrew Hughes: Fairly steady on the whole. Could’ve made some crossing opportunities count more. 6
Odel Offiah: Huffed and puffed for 45 minutes but made way at the break. Right wing-back not his natural role. 5.5
Andrija Vukcevic: Got through an hour or so. Not at full pelt after an intense training camp with Montenegro, but did OK. 6
Ben Whiteman: Moved the ball well for most of the game. Seven accurate long balls and two key passes, with four interceptions and four clearances made too. Bobbled a shot over, to his frustration. 7
Alfie Devine: Some positive offensive moments. Provided the precise pass to tee up Potts. Could’ve squared the ball, at 1-0, back to Dobbin for a golden chance. 6.5
Brad Potts: Consistently made runs into the final third and got his reward just after half time. Took his goal nicely. 7
Lewis Dobbin: Whenever PNE threatened in the match he tended to be involved, even if end product eluded him at times. 7
Milutin Osmajic: Never got the clear-cut opportunity which his endeavour probably deserved. Up and down with his link play. 6
Pol Valentin: Introduced at the break. Didn’t spark major improvement down the right flank. Looked quite fatigued by the end. 6
Andrew Moran: Showed some composure in tight areas at times and used the ball nicely. But, one loose pass towards the end which almost cost PNE. 5.5
Thierry Small: A very unfortunate and tough moment for him with the own goal. Went to smash the ball clear and sliced it into his own net. 3
Daniel Jebbison: Held the ball and linked it once or twice. Couldn’t make some promising openings count when played through, up against a QPR defender. 5.5
