Heckingbottom has built a fighting spirit

I know Preston 0-0 Bristol City doesn't sound very exciting, but there's a lot to glean from the game on Saturday that should continue to give Preston fans reason to believe their impressive start to the campaign is more than just a flash in the pan.

As a team they defended brilliantly and right down to the last man. Bodies thrown to the turf to block incoming shots, lung-busting runs to recover when possession was lost and finally, a keeper named Daniel Iverson, who pulled off one of the saves of the season in the last kick of the game.

Paul Heckingbottom has built real fighting spirit within the squad, and it shows in every aspect of their performances this season.
