Neil Warnock's programme notes
At this moment in time, we’re in different positions in the table, with Norwich trying to get back in and amongst the play-off places. You could see their determination to do that with the money spent on deadline day, whereas unfortunately we just couldn’t quite get any of our deals over the line.
However, that didn’t overly concern me as we’ve got to look and plan ahead for what we hope will be a great challenge next season.
It was a trying day for me on Tuesday and I can’t for the life of me understand why we have fixtures scheduled on such an important day in the calendar. The fixture administrators ought to come out and follow me around on deadline day and they would probably understand why it is impossible for a manager to prepare for a game at the same time.
Despite those circumstances the boys were fantastic for me. We managed to come away with a well-earned victory over Preston North End, who themselves have had a great season so far - I’m sure that come the end of the campaign, they’ll have secured their highest finish for many years.
