11pts out of 18 in December moves PNE up the table. 8pts out of 12 and undefeated against Yorkshire clubs is a decent haul.

Undefeated in October but without a win in November. Four draws adds some points.

 

31st October 2024 P12 W3 D5 L4 F13 A17 Pts14 Pos 16th

Undefeated in the league in October and rising in the league. Throwing away points by giving away good leads in the closing stages. Knocked out of the League Cup by Arsenal at Deepdale, 0-3.

 

 

30th September 2024 P7 W1 D2 L4 F4 A12 Pts5 Pos 22nd

Two draws in three games gives fewer points but only one defeat is a look upwards.

Not the best start to the league but through to the 3rd round of the League Cup.

 

 

20th August 2024 Paul Heckingbottom appointed Preston manager

 

Preston North End have appointed Paul Heckingbottom as their manager.

He took Sheffield United to promotion to the Premier League in 2022-23 but left last December as Sheffield sank back.

His assistant is Stuart McCall and he will be in charge of the team at the home game against Luton on Saturday 24th August.

 

12th August 2024 manager Ryan Lowe leaves Preston

 

After 2 defeats in the first 2 games Ryan Lowe departed Preston North End after saying wanted a break, according to the club. He didn't have a bad run if PNE have modest expectations. 13th, 12th and then 10th in his time in the Championship. Although it was up and down with runs of wins followed by runs of defeats. At the end of 23/24 season PNE were very close to the play-off spots but a run of defeats dropped them to 10th.

Alan Browne leaving probably didn't help, he played in Sunderland's first game but hasn't played since though.
