I didn’t think I would have a better feeing inside Ewood Park as I did 11 months ago when we hammered our old foe 4-1 in the snow.
I was wrong. Liam Lindsay’s brave stooping header in the closing moments was somehow sweeter, as about 6,000 North Enders exploded with joy in the away end. The other great thing for this fan, was it felt more like the derbies of old. End to end and full of passion, it was clear the players got it and none more so that the men in yellow. Forget the greens and the reds, for North Enders the best away colours are all yellow along with the simple chant that goes with it.
For me, this was more of a tactical change to add experience and robustness to a likely febrile encounter. It did not change the way Preston played overall, with Liam Miller looking a threat again whenever he carried the ball down the left wing and with Kian Best retaining his place and continuing to provide dangerous passes and crosses of the highest quality in a more comfortable left centre-back role.
