Seyfo’s Preston in 4 Match Losing Streak
By Modou Nyang
Scorpions midfield strongman Seyfo Soley and his English championship side Preston North End, has continued their poor form in the English second tier league, after falling 3-2 at home to Southend United over the weekend. This is their fourth defeat in a row.
Preston who are pushing for promotion to the more glamorous top flight, are fast throwing away their chances.
Southend’s injury time winner through Kevin Maher who earlier on put his side on the lead, was the hero as he volleyed into the Preston goal with the second ticking away. Preston fought level terms after falling behind in the first half through defender Sean St Ledger before taking the lead from the penalty spot.
But Southend who are in the relegation drop zone leveled in the 88th minute and Maher sensationally sealed the day with his stunning strike in injury time. Preston, who have spent most of the campaign in the top four, now face a fight even to make the play-offs for promotion to the Premiership. They have spent most of the current season in the top four positions keeping a firm chance of making it to the top flight.
Preston coach Paul Simpson has warned his players they must improve to make the play-offs for the third successive season. He said: “If we carry on being as poor as we have been looking, we don’t deserve to get in the play-offs. “People who have seen us all season can see that players shining earlier are not doing it now. It needs to be addressed. “I was hoping I wouldn’t feel as low as after we lost at QPR last Tuesday. But I do.
