"We produced plenty of good cutbacks and made runs into the opposition box, so as long as we keep putting ourselves into those areas of the field, we'll be okay as the season goes on. We started forcing it a bit too much in the second half, though, and don't forget Preston have got five clean sheets so far this season. In the first half we created a lot of chances, and if we'd taken a few more we could have finished the game. "Both teams tried to win the game in different ways, but as far as we were concerned I just thought maybe we lacked that bit of a cutting edge. When you look at Burnley, they've got the resources and some real quality players, so I'll take a point, it could be an important one. With a bit more quality at the top end we can do so much better.

Swept up well at the back and was willing to bring the ball out. Started quite brightly but struggled defensively on a few occasions with the pace of Benson. North End's midfield just couldn't get on the ball in truth. Burnley got in a few times but played a part in the defensive effort from there on in. Lacked ability on the ball at times but did his primary job. Dread of a long night ahead may have set in at that point among the home faithful, but PNE bounced back five minutes later from a corner of their own.

A goal from either side in the opening 15 minutes saw the points shared in the Lancashire derby between Preston North End and Burnley.

North End had a quick response to the opener, with a set piece of their own proving valuable. The Irishman had a more presentable opportunity on 87 minutes, as a Ched Evans cross floated over the top of the Burnley defenders before reaching Browne, who perhaps wasn’t expecting it to drop to him, and his header was kept out by Muric. On the other side of the break, the lively Benson cut in on to his left foot to strike towards goal, but his effort dragged wide.

On another day, you win this game. In the first half I think we did enough to win the game. I don't think we suffered too much, I think we played well.
