One obvious winner and one clear loser at Preston North End this season – Agreed?

Despite the season not amounting to too much in terms of promotion hopes though, the side have seen some flashes of brilliance amongst their squad and there have certainly been some standout players – and some not so impressive ones too.

Here then, is our pick for the one winner and one loser at Deepdale over the course of the season.

When the club have faltered in attack, the Leicester man has kept them in the game with some outstanding saves at the other end of the field. When Preston have excelled via their strikeforce, the goalkeeper has ensured that he doesn’t ship any goals and that his team come away with the win.

Over the course of the past two seasons, the supporters have taken to him massively and he is considered one of their own now. There will be some tears when he ends up departing back for the King Power Stadium at the end of the
