That was our boy. 20:03 GOAL Preston 0-1 Nottingham Forest - Jamie Mackie Where has this come from? A brilliant finish from Jamie Mackie gives Forest the lead. A punch clear from a visiting corner gets to the edge of the box, Mackie battles, gets the ball back and then curls a looping shot past the right hand of Declan Rudd and into the far corner. Former Stoke defender Danny Higginbotham on BBC Radio 5 live sports extra "It was a great side-foot finish with his left foot by Jamie Mackie. Declan Rudd has fallen over as he comes to punch the cross and he is only just getting to his feet as the ball drops to Mackie. But is was a beautifully measured shot from the QPR man." That Mackie goal gets better every time you see it on replay. It was met with near silence inside a Deepdale that has seen the home side dominate the early stages. Now that goal has come against the run of play, can Preston respond?
I'm not suggesting he move back here, that's all water under the bridge now - I just enjoy watching ex-R's, who I cared about, play for their new teams.
All Preston in the build up, but they just can't finish - although I always root for the underdog, I guess a Forest result is better for us - more games, perhaps moving on past Sheff Utd? What a chance they just had!
Yes, indeed - they certainly deserved something out of this game. Unlike us, they put on a real show in the FA Cup.
