We have a bunch of players who I find difficult to say how I rate them and what their standout skills/shortcomings are - Fisher, Forson, Chrisene, Schwartau, Gordon, Crnac

Most of those have only featured in 5 or so games so hard to really gain an understanding of what they can offer yet. Crnac has probably had the most minutes and looks to be growing in confidence

Got a special mention from Thorup post-match for his 50 yard run back, culminating in a defensive penalty box tackle, after the ball had been given away. And if you look at the highlights of our two goals, you'll see a second Norwich player in there, anticipating the chance. Crnac, both times.

That Preston badge is quite strange. A sheep, a cross, a halo?, and what looks like a seagulls head. I am sure there is history behind this, but don't have a clue what it is.

The lamb is that of St. Wilfrid who is the Patron Saint of Preston. The letters ‘PP’ are taken to mean ‘Princeps Pacis’, ‘ Prince of Peace’ for those less acquainted with Latin. On earlier versions of the arms the lamb was standing and three letters ‘P’ were depicted on it. The reason for the three letters was quite simply to give a general balance to the arms. The arms were in later years modernised and one of the letters ‘P’ was left out, again as a method of improving the general design balance. Preston North End eventually dropped the three red roses from their crest.

The lamb appears to have a divine halo or sun behind it's head also
