Defensive mistakes cancelled out each other with a point probably fair

A patched-up North End secured a draw in a match decided by defensive mistakes.

With nine players out, it was nice to see Preston get their noses in front in the opening 15 minutes.

There was the added 'glee' of it being down to a poor pass back to the Lions' keeper, which Michael Smith latched on to and clipped into the net.

The one thing we learn as long-suffering fans is to be careful what you crow about, as an even worse howler gave Millwall an equaliser.

Daniel Iversen was about to make a routine clearance with his left foot when the ball brushed his right toe, leaving him swiping thin air and falling over.
