Weekend point sees fortress Deepdale still intact

PNE unbeaten at home in the Championship so far

- John Smith

There has been some similarity between ourselves and Saturday's opponents, Bristol City, in recent years.

Up until last season, both teams had finished in similar positions in the league table with neither threatened by relegation or made a serious challenge for promotion since promotion from League One in the 2014-15 season.

The last time we met, in the final league match of last season at Ashton Gate, the game finished in a 2-2 draw-which meant that we managed to stave off the threat of relegation while City qualified for the playoffs for the first time since our joint promotions.

New seasons sometimes can bring a change in your team's fortunes, with this certainly being the case so far for us.
