Irvine bullish over PNE prospects

North End operate with one of the smallest budgets in the Championship but have often punched above their weight and reached the play-offs last season.Irvine insists consistency is the key, and said: "I definitely think that it's that type of division in that if we put a nice run together then we can certainly climb the table, but it is very difficult to do it."You see the strength of Nottingham Forest, for example, who are obviously a very big club in our division and that is what we have got to compete with."But we will work hard and do the best that we can."
