Lancashire

Preston boss Paul Heckingbottom admitted the 1-0 defeat at Charlton was tough to take.

Karlan Grant's goal was enough to give the Addicks the points.

"That one hurts, I'll be honest. I felt we were in a really good place before the goal, controlling the game," Heckingbottom told BBC Radio Lancashire.

"I would have liked to carry more threat, but we still had the best chances. And we should do better with the goal. We know that.

"But they (Charlton) are willing the ball into the net, whether it's the centre-backs at set-plays or on the counter - a scruffy goal like that.

"For all the control we had, we haven't got that killer instinct at the top end of the pitch at the minute. That's the difference. That's what's cost us today.

"There were some good individual performances. It's not one of those where I'm coming off saying anyone's had a bad game.

"Large parts of the performance were good. But like I've said many times, the game's about winning both boxes."

A Hull City club source tells me that Burnley have made an offer for Ryan Giles but "an answer hasn't been given" in response to that.

Giles was, I'm told, on the club's list of players who were under consideration for being moved on prior to last week's Man Utd win.
