Speaking after the win, Lilywhites boss Alex Neil discussed his decision to switch to a 3-5-2 formation, and claimed:"All the best teams do change things, it may not be clear to the naked eye but whether you’re dropping out of one side or dropping in between the lines on the other side, or how you press or whatever.“There’s always something slightly different. Even Blackburn, they changed how they built in the second half."He continued: "They brought Stewart Downing on, dropped him out between the lines, bumped Tyrhys Dolan up, bumped the full-backs up to make sure we couldn’t get out as a back five and that’s how we had sustained pressure.“It’s difficult to stop but at the end of the day, we’re winning the game, we don’t need to come out and win the ball back now."Take a look at today's biggest transfer stories and team news involving Preston North End, and a number of other clubs from the second-tier, as we gear up for another busy midweek round of Championship football:
