Saw this linked on the pnefc hashtag, interview with Daniel Johnson (40 minutes long). Really interesting, talks about growing up and his views on football and young players. Preston portion is around the 30 minute mark.

DJ seems to have a lot of affection for Grayson and his assistants for the faith they showed in him at a young age. Say what you want about SG's tactics, but along with the on-field success, he and Ridsdale have built a culture at PNE that make it a an attractive place for players to come and play.

Lets hope to see DJ's continued improvement under Neil! Up the whites
 
Great video. Highlight for me is where he talks about the graft you have to put in every week.

Also where he's talking budgets and says that it doesn't matter if we don't pay as much money - someone is always going to be earning more wherever you are. The important thing is enjoying the football.

Class act.
 
Would like us to get him tied down to another new deal fairly soon.

We always knew he had ability but Neil/Neil's system is now getting the best out of him and he is vital to us, and I'd rather us not get to the summer with him having just one year left on his deal.
 
Baffles me how he isn't in the Jamaica squad ... let alone the starting 11. Just have a look at their squad - not a lot of pedigree in there at all.

Really is a weird one that!

Don’t they play some ‘home’ games in London as well?

I believe so. Not even as if they can say they're not after players with a vague Jamaican ancestry as DJ was born in Jamaica!

I'd be ragged off at it if were him .... but .... from a PNE perspective .... least it will keep him fresher for us and less chance of injury.
