Did anybody else see him waiting by the tunnel to greet every Preston player that was there when he was Manager after the came of the picth after their pre match warm up. I think some of the players found it uncomfortable i certainly did. He could have done that after the game but he didn't and i personaly think it was some kind of psychological ploy by him to unsettle us.
You all know what went on during the game but after the final whistle went he walked on the pitch and i wasen't sure if he was coming over to us or not but as he walked digonally across the pitch towards the the PNE fans Paul Simpson cut across him and stop him in his tracks, he then and gave it the big swinging arm one to the Derby fans and walked of. Paul Simpson just looked at him as if to say "what a complete dick head" and then carried on walking towards us guys to thank us for our support. I found Davis actions completly bizzare and the sign of a man who was uncomfortable in his surronding and the sign of a man who's under pressure and now knows he 's made one big mistake leaving Preston for Derby. As for his cronies on the bench they looked like they were all sat in a dentist waiting room waiting to have a tooth out. What a bunch of muppets.
As for the game i am glad of a point. I personally thought we looked a tired team in the last 15 mins so i was quite glad to hear the final whistle. St ledger was nowhere near Howard for most of the game and the big Derby lad gave him an uncomfortable afternoon. The other Derby player the bolding one in midfield ran the game till davis bizzarly pushed him out wide right.
For us Danny Pugh man of the match by a country mile. Mackenna cost us the goal trying to switch play when it wasen't on but worked hard after that. When Dicko went off we struggled to make any impact up front so all in all it was a great point for us.
