Preston North End boss Ryan Lowe has hailed Greg Cunningham as ‘immense’ after another strong display against Rotherham United on Tuesday.
PNE made it two wins in a row on Tuesday night, beating Rotherham 2-1 away from home.
Tom Cannon and Ched Evans were on the scoresheet once again to give North End the win, just as they were against Cardiff City on Saturday.
After a really tricky run of form, Lowe has done incredibly well to go seven games unbeaten.
Why Chelsea FINALLY Turned A Corner.
A number of players are playing really well of late, from goalscoring duo Cannon and Evans to defender Bambo Diaby.
Then there is Greg Cunningham, whose consistency is no surprise to PNE fans anymore.
