On Bonfire Night weekend, it was a case of ‘Remember, remember the fourth of November’ for our historic 2,000th league win which propelled us back into a play-off position and ended our seven-match winless run.
The first third of the game felt like being at a firework display with only sparklers on show until it was ignited with three goals in an explosive eight-minute spell just after the half-hour mark. I thought it was ironic that, after having what I would consider stonewall penalties turned down in our last three matches, we were given a dubious one on Saturday which was converted by Alan Browne to put us into the lead going into the break.
This lit up Deepdale like one of the many rockets in the darkening sky with the crowd paying tribute to our record signing by bursting into song with ‘the striker from Montenegro’ chant. After this goal, we again reverted to what – for me – is now becoming a slightly worrying trend as we again sat back. When Coventry pulled a goal back towards the end, it gave me similar jitters to those of Minder’s Arthur Daley when he was expecting his lock up to be visited by the VAT man.
