Managers Reaction
Preston’s Ryan Lowe: “We know the first half simply wasn’t good enough, hopefully, it’s a one-off in that sense. I won’t accept the first-half performance from the players and the lads know that. But despite that, I was really pleased with the reaction of the players in the second half. We freshened it up after the break and I’m really pleased with the reaction. We weren’t quite at it first half and we were disappointed with large parts of it.”
Bristol City’s Nigel Pearson: “It is frustrating and annoying not to come away with three points. You also have to say it was a fantastic strike for the equalizer. Within that, we know we have to be more streetwise. We had the chance to run it into the corner and run the clock down and we didn’t. I also think this official made mistakes and missed things and there was a foul in the build-up to their second equalizer. We’ve gone from a side at the start of the season which struggled to be creative, to one that is dangerous.”
