Town are still searching for their first win of the season after being held to a 1-1 draw against Preston North End on Saturday. The visitors took the lead after 12 minutes, when Ross Wallace's shot from about 12 yards out went through the legs of Gareth McAuley before hitting the post and going in.
Preston lost Callum Davidson after he received his second yellow card of the game after he blocked a shot with his arms inside the box, which of course led to a penalty. Jon Walters stepped up to take the penalty which Andy Lonergan saved only to see Walters put in the rebound.
