Brown wants more fight

26 February 2011 20:30
Preston boss Phil Brown warned his side they need to get rid of their losing mentality if they are to avoid relegation from the npower Championship after a 2-1 home defeat to local rivals Burnley which left them 11 points from safety. Jack Cork headed home an 84th-minute winner after Jay Rodriguez had cancelled out Barry Nicholson's opener for the hosts. Brown said: "I've got a lot of disappointed people I've got to pick up over the weekend now. "I've got my staff getting involved with opposition staff on a weekly basis. Maybe if the players showed enough fight where that was concerned we might win a game. "There's one or two prepared to die for the cause and that is what I need on the field as opposed to off it. I haven't got an impossible task but it is arresting the losing mentality."
