Bolton Wanderers 2-1 Preston North End: Bolton win on Championship return

By Total Football News

A draw would have been incredibly harsh on a Bolton side who looked fresh and composed and particularly dangerous on the break through Gale, Dalby and the excellent McAtee.

McAtee’s cross shot forced the first goal when keeper Daniel Iversen’s weak parry fell straight to Dalby and was beautifully guided into the net.

New signings Akin Famewo, Luca Stephenson and Gaizka Larrazabal all made steady debuts while the visitors barely

Preston North End opinion: Lilywhites at a fork in the road

By Total Football News

Preston North End finished 14th – a position that, on paper, suggests progress. In reality, it feels like a season that quietly slipped away.

An improvement of 10 points to 60 is not insignificant, but numbers alone do not tell the story. This was a campaign defined less by where North End finished and more by where they might have finished – and why they didn’t.

For half a season,

Sheffield United 2-3 Preston: Liam Lindsay scores twice in North End win

By Total Football News

The two sides began the day side-by-side in the table after taking contrasting routes through the campaign.

North End were fourth in mid-January but three wins in their past 18 had seen the season fizzle out, while the Blades’ shocking start with 11 defeats in their first 14 matches was too big a handicap to overcome.

Lindsay’s previous Championship goal was in April 2025 but he ended that drought when

Stansfield opened the scoring with his first goal for more than two months when he pounced from close range on 10 minutes.

Birmingham took the initiative thanks to Osman charging down a clearance high up the pitch. The Ghanaian drifted inside, rode a challenge, and drove a shot into the box, with Stansfield snatching the final touch to convert past Daniel Iversen.

Osman added Blues’ second soon after – his

Preston North End’s Heckingbottom shocked by West Brom’s decline

By Total Football News

Preston North End manager Paul Heckingbottom claims no-one expected to see West Brom fighting for Championship survival.

The Baggies are just two points above the drop zone after a chastening campaign, which has seen them dispense with Ryan Mason and Eric Ramsay.

Heckingbottom says West Brom will be fighting for their lives when they come to Deepdale on Saturday – and that is just what he wants.

He feels this
