📰 With October being #BlackHistoryMonth, the month often uncovers stories previously lost over time and shines a new light on some of the most important black figures in British history. ©️ We recently sat down with PNE's first black captain, Oshor Williams, to find out more about his story. 👇 🔗 pnefc.net/news/2026/october/… #pnefc

Brilliant read, this.

Preston are not creating enough good chances. They are not attacking enough to relieve a struggling defence. The 3-4-3 isn't working, especially without Harry Clarke. For the first time since 2021, it's time the back-three was abandoned for good. #pnefc lep.co.uk/sport/football/pre…

Preston won 26 points in the 17 games Harrison Armstrong played last season. Since he was recalled, they've picked up just 27 in 33 games. Shows how good he is but, more importantly, the quality of last season's loan business compared to this year. lep.co.uk/sport/football/pre…

After 11 games in 2018, Preston were bottom of the Championship with just one win. They eventually finished 14th. Jordan Storey was there and is confident things can be turned around again #pnefc lep.co.uk/sport/football/pre…

Preston did have six points after 11 games in 2018, though, and were just three points from safety, instead of the six points they effectively are in 2026. By game 13 in 2018, PNE had picked up four points and were out of the relegation zone. That wouldn't be enough now.

lep.co.uk/sport/football/pre… I've never been so certain of relegation this early in a season before ... and in my report here I checked back to previous dark times I've watched them #pnefc @BBCLancsSport @DanMurff

Ben Whiteman touched on the hostile reception he received from Preston fans and said his side of story regarding his exit to Wrexham will 'get out one day' after the match #pnefc lep.co.uk/sport/football/pre…

Alexander's post match thoughts. He thought #pnefc were 'competitive' for the first 60 and the game could have gone different if certain chances were taken... but his team was 'found wanting' in both boxes #pnefc lep.co.uk/sport/football/pre…

Felt inevitable Whiteman would score, and his goal was a strong metaphor for how the summer transfer window is coming back to bite Preston. Clear shortages in vital positions #pnefc lep.co.uk/sport/football/pre…

Alexander says football is about numbers. The numbers are pretty grim for him at the moment. Nine goals conceded in three games, just a single shot on target in each. Zero points. 24th place. #pnefc lep.co.uk/sport/football/pre…

Another grim day for Preston. Kenny the only player capable of making something happen out of nothing and the attacking three hopelessly under-supported. Thought Lindsay did okay before his injury but precious little else positive #pnefc lep.co.uk/sport/football/pre…
