    "Then we managed the game, a really professional performance, I felt the game was constantly in our hand.

    "The most crucial thing [is winning games]. It's 25 unbeaten now. I don't really have any interest in what others are doing. We just need to keep chalking off the wins."

    Preston North End manager Paul Heckingbottom has been speaking to BBC Radio Lancashire after the 2-1 win over Portsmouth.

    "Their (Portsmouth's) organisation is good, they make it difficult, so I felt we were accepting that in the first half," he said.

    "We weren't, but I felt they were having too big an impact on how we wanted to play. We needed to change it and then we did.

    "I enjoyed watching the second half, I enjoyed being part of it and we created enough chances to win, which is the pleasing thing.

    "I'm really, really pleased with the win."
