PNE face Norwich City on Saturday in a huge Championship match
Preston North End midfielder Duane Holmes has every confidence that the Lilywhites can make a late break into the play-offs. Ryan Lowe’s side got back to winning ways on Tuesday night, as Milutin Osmajic’s remarkable, seven minute hat-trick clinched a 4-1 win over Huddersfield Town. North End’s next game is at home to Norwich City, who occupy sixth spot and are five points better off than Preston. PNE have one game in hand on them, but Holmes knows Saturday’s clash must bring three points.
” It’s been a season of two halves for summer signing Holmes. The versatile, experienced midfielder was a mainstay in the side - and a stand-out performer at the start of the campaign. But, the form of Mads Frokjaer in 2024 has seen him spend more time on the bench. With injuries hitting the PNE squad, Holmes has also done a job at wing-back on a couple of occasions. He is a player who always wants to play, but his spirits have not been dampened too much. “It’s been alright,” said Holmes.
