    FWIW - watching the replay tells me that it was a "save" but not a "foul" - i.e. in the box it would've been classed as a very good save - the taking out of Watmore happened after the ball had gone. But the Handball - christ almighty he should've been red carded for denying a goalscoring opportunity without any doubt - some strange decisions this season - they "even themselves out" apparently - so we should get a penalty next game for nothing to even this one out or the one against Cardiff!

    When your struggling like we are at the moment its decisions like these that make it hard to swallow, had we gone on and won it against ten men then who knows what a confidence boost that would have been to the squad.
    It was my first match in a long time, living only 40 minutes from Preston it was as no brainer for Rooch and me to go and reading all the doom and gloom on here I honestly thought Preston would score more than Ipswich did and I was very pleasantly surprised at the teams effort, seems to me they were playing for Grayson.
    They've just got to replicate it at home in the coming weeks.
