Speaking after the game, he said: "It was a very difficult match. We knew it would be a difficult game against a strong Preston outfit, who will be looking to push for the top two this season.
"Simon Grayson has won promotion with every team he's been at and know what this division is about.
"We turned in an outstanding performance and result at Blackburn on Tuesday (in response to Swindon) and you think you've cracked it a bit.
"People have to be careful about holding on to that shirt because there are other players chomping at the bit to get in that team.
"You have to work hard to get the shirt and you need to work even harder to keep it, and I don't think that happened on the day."
