'We had brain freeze' - Heckingbottom

Paul Heckingbottom said his Preston North End side recovered well from their "brain freeze" which handed Sheffield United a two-goal lead at Deepdale.

The Lilywhites manager, whose side bounced back to win 3-2, told BBC Radio Lancashire: "The only abnormality in that game from us was when we had a brain freeze for 15 minutes.

"We started great. From being really dominant, we're one down, and then we give them the second goal.

"That was the worst moment and for the next 10 minutes we just lost discipline and shape - going gung-ho, trying to get the next goal but we weren't playing in a way to hurt them and every time we lost the ball they could break on us again.

"We got back to playing how we were playing at the start, which was going to create chances and shots. That was the message at half-time.

"[Lewis Dobbin] has scored three of those [excellent goals] now but it's a team - he hasn't scored them on his own, it's getting the ball to those positions.

"The third goal was Andy [Vukcevic] doing what he really does well and a fantastic header from Jebbo. I'm pleased for him because his all-round game was great again."
