Jordan Storey delivers brutally honest verdict on Preston North End's defeat at Wrexham

Jordan Storey has been left 'bitterly disappointed' by Preston North End's start to the season and believes the side were 'miles off it' in their defeat to Wrexham.

Preston have suffered their worst start to a league campaign for over a century after picking up just four points in their first eleven games.

Graham Alexander has lost his first three matches in charge, with the latest coming in a stinging 4-1 defeat at Wrexham in which his side had chances before they were blown away.

It's the second successive game North End have shipped four goals on their travels in following a 4-0 defeat at Birmingham City on Saturday.

Offering his thoughts after the loss in Wales, Storey said: "I think it's been a deeply frustrating week.

"To concede eight goals in a matter of a few days is very disappointing for the team, but obviously, for us defenders and keepers, it's just not good enough.

"Especially at this level. We've got to turn it around. We're all in this together."

Storey gives honest verdict on Wrexham result and disappointment he's feeling

The latest defeat means Preston remain rock bottom of the Championship and are now effectively six points from safety due to their vastly inferior goal difference compared to 21st-placed Norwich City.

Storey has been left particularly frustrated as he had his eyes set on a season competing at the opposite end of the table in his eighth campaign at Deepdale.

"I've been here over eight years now and it's deeply disappointing to be in the position we're in," he said.

"I had high ambitions of being up there this season and challenging.

"We've been close in numerous seasons, so to have this start to the season is bitterly disappointing for me.

"I'm getting on now, and I want to achieve something at this place."

Delivering a brutally honest verdict on the result at the Racecourse Ground, Storey added: "Again, we can't be coming to places like this and getting turned over 4-1.

"I thought we were in the game up until the third goal. It completely killed the momentum, and before you know it we've shipped another one.

"We looked miles off it, to be quite honest with you."
