'Change' needs to happen - Heckingbottom

Paul Heckingbottom succeeded Ryan Lowe as Preston boss at the start of the season

Preston North End manager Paul Heckingbottom said "change" is needed at the club following his side's last minute loss to Queen's Park Rangers.

Lilywhites defender Liam Lindsay opened the scoring just before half-time but the Rs scored twice in the last 13 minutes of the game, with Lucas Andersen netting the winner deep in stoppage time.

After the loss, Heckingbottom revealed he had spoken to Peter Ridsdale, a member of Preston's board.

"You can't park (the disappointment)," said Heckingbottom. "You can't forget it. That's got to be what drives you and makes sure you make the changes.

"I've just been having a conversation with Peter. I don't need to wait until tomorrow to calm down. Why would I want to do that?

"It's obvious what needs to happen. Change or be changed. That's it. How much is possible won't be determined by me.

"That's what I'd do but I don't think I'll be able to do that, so it's going to be hard work."
