Preston boss Paul Heckingbottom was satisfied with his team's performance in the 2-2 draw against Cardiff City at Deepdale.

Yakou Meite's 94th-minute leveller snatched a point for the Bluebirds, meaning North End have now drawn 19 times this season - more than any other side in the Championship.

"I feel a lot different in terms of performance to what we did at the weekend," Heckingbottom told BBC Radio Lancashire.

"You get punished when you switch off. I did feel comfortable in us seeing the game out.

"We switched off, left him in, it's an error, but we did more than enough at the other end, so we can't just look at that one error.

"I'd take that performance. That's how we need to play - be more clinical and be more ruthless.

"I'd love to create that many chances every game but that's been the other criticism in the other games where we have been dominant but not created enough chances for the dominance."

Burnley boss Scott Parker said Derby County's direct style posed major problems and was delighted with the way his side coped to earn a point at Pride Park.

"It's a tough place to come. It's a team fighting for their lives," Parker told BBC Radio Lancashire.

"They cause you problems with the way they play; they put the ball in areas constantly and get you running back towards your own goal and I thought we coped with that really well.

"We started the game electric and really took a foothold for 35 minutes.

"At the back end of the first half they caused us problems from long throws and set-plays. We had to be resilient in those moments as it becomes a 50-50 game.

"But we defended exceptionally well and overall it's a point gained and another clean sheet."

Burnley manager Scott Parker has praised the mentality of his players ahead of Tuesday's Championship match at a revitalised Derby County (19:45 BST).

The Clarets' 2-1 win against Coventry on Saturday marked their 27th game unbeaten, and Parker is hoping to further extend the run.

"The [Championship] is highly competitive, you have games coming thick and fast and you need a certain mentality and mindset to go 27 unbeaten.

"It is something to be really proud of, so hopefully we can continue that."

Derby have been in fine form themselves, having won four of their previous five games, and lifted themselves out of the relegation zone.

"They will be a tough opposition obviously with [John Eustace] coming in, and now every team has something they're fighting for whether it's for promotion or against relegation," Parker told BBC Radio Lancashire.

How does a promoted team stay in the Premier League?

Is it about style? Or does over-spending become a tempting proposition in a bid to stay out of the bottom of three?

Is it all about unearthing transfer "jewels"?
