The PNE boss was outraged at the officiating on display at Deepdale in midweek for the disappointing loss to Chris Davies' men.

There were a number of incidents throughout the contest, which aggrieved the head coach including the Blues' opener, which appeared to strike Phil Neumann's arm before going in, as well as a handful of penalty shouts.

That led to a furious outburst after the game from Heckingbottom, who vented his frustrations at the officiating at Championship level.
