Preston registered an xG of 1.78 against West Brom. In Graham Alexander’s first three games combined, their xG was 1.79. That's some sign of improvement. #pnefc lep.co.uk/sport/football/pre…

lep.co.uk/sport/football/pre… A turning point? While team more aggressive and even Vukčević last the whole 90 (1st time ever?) ... looked like an Alexander team ... now need to build on it #pnefc @BBCLancsSport @DanMurff

The Tim Mercer column: ​Can the battling point against Albion be the tuning point in our fortunes?

As a collective the team were more aggressive from the off and let high-flying West Bromwich Albion know they were in for a proper game.

Alexander felt validated on his set-up by the rousing response from Deepdale on Saturday. Did feel like if those levels of intensity can be maintained by players and fans then the road to recovery could have started #pnefc lep.co.uk/sport/football/pre…

Mills' cross for Burgzorg's (who should have done a lot better on second watch imo) chance was unreal too. Shame there isn't really any other option for RWB at present, as think Mills would have suited being up front in that system today.

A shame but not surprising it was Mills caught out for the goal. Understandable as he isn't a defender, but struggled to to take the right positions when defending and often left space WBA exploited. An clear weak point.

Just watched the highlights and PNE have a claim for two pens after Erabi was tripped by Pereira in the box late on, as well as Hughes being wiped out. Also, Iversen's save from close range even better on the replay, as is his one for the goal.

I thought the challenge on Hughes looked bad in real time. On the replay... how on Earth was that not given?

Devine had a tight calf this week and went off half as precaution, half tactical. Gibson had a 'procedure' today for a hernia. Lindsay could be back next week.

Graham Alexander quoted Jurgen Klopp before today's game. But it was another famous Klopp quote I couldn't help thinking about watching today's game #pnefc lep.co.uk/sport/football/pre…

Hughes, Vukcevic, Leroy and Kenny the stand-outs for me. If it was ratings on effort, everyone would get 10/10. Ratings here: #pnefc lep.co.uk/sport/football/pre…

Iversen, too, btw. Thought he dominated his box well at set pieces, made some good saved especially that one from like a yard out. To tip that one on to the post before the goal was impressive too.

It's hard not to ignore the lack of quality in the final third, but that's what Alexander has to work with and he probably got the best out of everyone today. No player's effort or commitment can be questioned after such a hard-working and battling display lep.co.uk/sport/football/pre…

I would say more performances like that Alexander will get his believers.
Dan Murphy@DanMurffOct 24
"Jurgen Klopp once said his job was to turn doubters into believers, together we can do the same here. Your support is incredibly valuable to our efforts, and we aim to repay the faith you have in us. Keep believing." GA in his programme notes. #pnefc

It's a first point on the board for Alexander as things end 1-1. A really battling performance that deserved more, but that lack of cutting edge just let them down in the end. Still, that's really something to build on against a talented WBA.
