Ex-Preston North End winger Chris Sedgwick writes for the Lancashire Post after watching Saturday’s 1-1 draw against another one of his former clubs: Rotherham United
Robbie Brady was in for his first start of the season and I thought you could tell in the opening exchanges. A few of his passes went astray and he looked a bit rusty, but you then see the ball he puts in for the goal and it is absolute quality. It can be hard, when you are not playing or properly in your rhythm as a player, to then come into a winning team - where everyone is at it and playing well. It can take time and I thought he grew into the match.
I thought it was actually a sensible decision to pick him over Liam Millar, away to Rotherham. Brady is a team player, who works hard and does both sides of the game. Him and Potts got up and down and if Brady doesn’t play then the goal probably doesn’t happen. His left foot is a wand. Wide players can be unpredictable at times and fans sometimes love and loathe them, so I am sure he can split opinion. But, away to Rotherham, was it a good decision to play him? Definitely, for me.
I think Millar gives you a lot going forward and will get fans off their seats. But, for an away performance at a place like that, if I was in the team I would want someone like Brady to work up and down the side and do a job defensively. Millar looked lively when he came on, but there were just a few decisions he made where that bit more experience would’ve helped - knowing when to cross, shoot and stay on his feet. If he stayed on his feet towards the end, he potentially scores the winner.
When the teams came out at two o’clock, North End’s lineup and squad looked a lot different to the one I watched at Hillsborough. PNE’s squad is in good shape. Back in August they were obviously still looking to build it - they had the likes of Noah Mawene and Kian Best in the 18 along with other kids. Now, they’ve brought a bit more experience in and the bench looked strong.
