Preston and Rotherham produced a goalless draw in one of the close football scores of the weekend in the Championship. Preston looked the better of the two sides and the more likely to break the deadlock. Their defense has been solid so far this season as they are yet to concede a single goal. Rotherham extended their unbeaten run to three games.
Managers Reaction
Preston’s Ryan Lowe: “I think that was probably one of the best performances from my team since I’ve been here, but obviously, without the goals. We’re not scoring enough goals, but I’m certainly not disappointed with how we’re playing so far this season. I am proper proud of the lads, everything we’re working on in training they’re replicating out there on the pitch and the performance tonight was fantastic. If we weren’t creating chances I’d be concerned of course, but there’s definitely nothing to worry regarding that. It’s not three points, but we’ve dominated this game and if you don’t win, just make sure you don’t lose. I thought maybe we were going to pop one in off a ricochet or an own goal because the performance certainly warranted maximum points. It’s so important to keep that back door shut, I’m pleased and proud, but we just need to be turning these draws into wins now.”
Rotherham’s Paul Warne: “Let’s not be polite here, that was a really battling point. We know Preston was the better side over the 90 minutes, but we’ve put in a terrific, dogged performance to come away with a point. I thought the first half was quite equal, but in the second half, we struggled. We got ourselves overloaded in the midfield, but that’s what can happen against quality opposition. On another night it might have been a different story, but all our lads have put a shift in and stood up for the fight.”
