'We can't keep coming back from behind'

Sheffield Wednesday conceded three goals for the second league match in a row to lose out to Preston North End in their final fixture of the year.

Only five Championship teams have conceded more goals than the Owls this season, and the defensive frailties are beginning to take their toll.

"It's frustrating. I thought we were really good, and then you come out losing 3-1," forward Josh Windass told BBC Radio Sheffield.

"But you can't be successful and go where we want to go and concede three goals a game."

Windass scored a dazzling goal from 25 yards out to level the scoreline to 1-1 in the second-half, but the equaliser only lasted six minutes before defender Dominic Iorfa conceded a penalty to gift Preston the lead once more.

The forward was then denied a double by the North End keeper before Emil Riis completed his own at close range to put the game out of reach of the visitors.

"Overall, in terms of performance, I thought we were miles the better team. In control a lot, played really good stuff, and then we shoot ourselves in the foot," Windass added.

"You can't keep coming back from behind; it's not going to keep happening. We need to start keeping clean sheets and scoring the first goal; that would be nice."
