| Burnley boss Steve Cotterill paid tribute to captain Wayne Thomas. | |
| The Clarets boss suggested that some fans may have questioned Thomas' temperament after picking up red cards against Southampton and Hartlepool: | |
| "I thought Wayne was immaculate and I'm absolutely delighted with the response from the fans towards him. | |
| "There would have been some who would have had some doubts about Wayne." | |
| Preston boss Paul Simpson rued the tactics employed by his team: | |
| "We knew the 11-game unbeaten run would come to an end but it's disappointing to lose it in a derby game. | |
| "We worked hard to get ourselves level and instead of trying to kill the game off we were looking for a third goal and that's what cost us. | |
| "Our aim now is to pick ourselves up and get ready for the next game and start again on an unbeaten run." | |
