    Preston manager Paul Heckingbottom praised his side's attitude during their 2-1 win over Middlesbrough at Deepdale.

    Goals from Stefan Stefan Thordarson and Emil Riis secured the victory after Delano Burgzorg levelled for the visitors.

    Victory is their third in four matches and Heckingbottom said his team grew into the game and took their chances after giving themselves a good foundation defensively.

    "It was a good game," he told BBC Radio Lancashire.

    "The right outcome for us and three points. I'm delighted with the performance and the application against a good side.

    "I've said before, in possession, Boro are a very, very dangerous team.

    "We had a couple of moments where we weren't brave enough in the first half but I would always back us to get moments of control and we did that.

    "Second half, it was similar. I felt we got to grips and they scored on the counter, but we were a lot stronger without the ball and had moments with it."

    Preston are up to 14th in the Championship table.

    Scott Parker gives the thumbs upRex Features

    Burnley boss Scott Parker has hinted that the Clarets might move some players on before the end of the transfer window - and has not ruled out new signings either.

    Ashley Barnes returned to the club early in January, Peruvian full-back Oliver Sonne also arrived and Jonjo Shelvey signed a short-term deal.

    Parker has also seen a swathe of players departing on loan, but may not be done yet.

    He told BBC Radio Lancashire: "We've still got a biggish squad, plenty of numbers.

    "I'm not going to rush into anything, if there is something to be done which could improve us and fit into this group, then for sure we'll try to do that.

    "I think we'll be more reactive to how things go with maybe some players leaving and maybe something comes out of somewhere which could be of interest. If so, we'll look at that when it arises."

  22. 'I'm my biggest critic' - Frokjaer-Jensen

    Preston's Frokjaer-Jensen on being own biggest critic

    Preston North End boss Paul Heckingbottom says midfielder Mads Frokjaer-Jensen has an "edge to him" but needs to improve his mentality.

    The Dane provided an assist for Milutin Osmajic to score North End's second goal as they beat Watford 2-1 on Tuesday.

    However, Heckingbottom feels that the 25-year-old could improve if he adopted a more positive mindset.

    "He can affect himself negatively, when there's no need to do that," Heckingbottom told BBC Radio Lancashire.

    "If he can stop beating himself up as often and getting down on himself, his level of performance will become much more consistent.

    "I think he can control his mood, mentality, frame of mind better."

    When asked about whether he felt he was too negative, Frokjaer-Jensen agreed with his manager's opinion.

    "I'm pretty much in tune with myself so by that, I'm also probably my biggest critic," Frokjaer-Jensen said.

    "It's easy to see when I'm annoyed. I don't really hide it and I think sometimes the manager thinks I show it too much.

    "I can beat myself up but that's only because I trust my own abilities."
