Callum Lang: that is not what I was promised
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Preston have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

A falling-out at Preston
Ammar Ramadan and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Match17 Oct 2026
Birmingham take the points off Preston
Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

A row about effort at Preston
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Jordan Storey was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Steven James answers for it
“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑1, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

Preston keep their word to Johnny Kenny
Clubs make promises constantly and the page usually only hears about them when they are broken. This one was honoured, and the dressing room noticed that faster than any supporter did.

The Harry Clarke question follows Preston around
Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Harry Clarke’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

The one thing Andrew Moran could not do
Shots: 5, enough of them from close enough that a striker in form scores two. He is not a striker in form.
