Finishing the season with a flourish would be fitting tribute to my father

Going into the last 10 minutes of this match, it looked like it was going to be just another Groundhog Day for us, the fans-one of many suffered during this season.

North End had just conceded a goal that brought the visitors level at 1-1, having led with a rare and headed goal from Liam Lindsay in first-half stoppage time.

We shrugged our collective shoulders and thought: 'Oh well, at least that puts us safe on 50 points', as this underwhelming campaign stutters towards the finish line.

But this is Preston North End, and we cannot allow such a comfortable conclusion in the penultimate home game.
