JAMES Brown was still taking his place on the visiting bench when Preston North End stole victory at Deepdale.
The 25-year-old had just made way after another highly-encouraging 75-minute display when the hosts, who had been under the cosh for the majority of the game, nicked the only goal.
It was Danny Mayor who rocketed home a 25-yard blast to snatch an undeserved three points for Graham Westley’s Lilywhites.
And it was a shell-shocked Brown who spoke to SportMail today.
“I didn’t even see their goal,” said the Northumberland-born forward.
“I just saw the ball hit the corner and thought ‘what’s going on here?’.
