Saturday’s game was probably the toughest I have ever had in a Preston shirt. Wolves are a good team and they came to Deepdale and didn’t let us settle and they went away with the three points but credit to them they did their homework on us and stopped us from playing.

We were all disappointed to lose at home first of all and obviously to lose the unbeaten run but we have had a good start to the season, probably better than anyone expected so we have just got to move on and concentrate on the big game we’ve got on Saturday.

The Gaffer said after the game that we had done really well and he wanted to concentrate on that and not on the one bad game where we haven’t performed. It was just one of those games and some of the decisions didn’t go for us but that happens and I think over 46 games that will even itself out.

I was a bit surprised to see Chris Iwelumo’s red card upheld. If both sets of players are saying nothing happened then it is quite surprising but the referee is there to make a decision and obviously the panel are there to back the referee and that is what they’ve done but he has got to take the decision and get on with it. I did the best I could for him but it was nothing really, I think we came together and that was probably it but it is just one of those things that happen in football and unfortunately for him he got the bad end of things.

Referee’s seem to have been in the spotlight a lot this week, I still can’t believe what happened between Watford and Reading. I honestly don’t know how a goal was given, it is one of the strangest things that has ever happened and probably will ever happen in football.
