Nottingham Forest’s Joe Worrall has told the Nottingham Post that Preston North End would be silly to underestimate them.
Forest will be on their travels again this weekend as they head to Lancashire but their recent trips away from the City Ground haven’t gone well. They have lost their last four away games and with Preston being in good form at the moment, they are 9th in the Sky Bet Championship and are eyeing a play-off spot, the Lilywhites are very confident of picking up another three points.
But Worrall has warned Preston against being too cocky when the host the East Midlands side on Saturday. The academy graduate has said they have been playing very well in their last few games even if results haven’t gone their way and that he believes that Preston would be very silly to underestimate them in this weekend’s game.
In the pre-match press conference, Worrall said: “If Preston look at the second half of the game at Bristol City, they would be silly to underestimate us,”
“We played some really good football – it might even have been one of the best second halves of football we have played, when it came to the way we kept the ball.”
“Our passing was accurate, we kept possession and we did create chances. We just needed the goals to top it off.”
“We are not great on the road at the minute, we know that. But the manager keeps drumming into us that it is about fine margins. We are getting closer and closer.”
“If you were to split the game in half against Bristol, the first half really was not us. But in the second we were very good. Bristol will admit that as well – we were a really good attacking team in the second half.”
“They are going for promotion and we are currently stuck in mid-table – but we looked like the better side in the second half.”
“Our challenge is to play the way we did in the second half for the whole game. It is down to us to do that.”
