Review:
Happy New Year! Our second win in 5 games and only our second away from home. Add that to the fact that we were in the relegation overnight after Sheffield Wednesday beat Derby yesterday, we needed this. The goal was from a Grabban penalty after a handball in the area. It was disputed by Preston but was pretty obvious, and then the goal was disputed again after Grabban slipped on his way to scoring from the spot and was thought to have double kicked the ball. That would have been a harsh call, and we should be happy to get the three points today. A slither of daylight at the bottom as we have a two-week league break for the FA Cup 3rd round next week.
