PNE deserve plaudits - McKenna

North End have not tasted top-flight football since 1961 but Alan Irvine has assembled a fine squad and they could yet claim a top-six finish.A disappointing run of just one win in their last six league outings has threatened their hopes, but McKenna says his side are fully focused on winning their remaining five games.He told the club's official website: "We are enjoying it, we have got a limited squad this year, but I think we have done incredibly well to be up there with the teams that are around us."The carrot is to get into the play-offs which is what we all want to do, we will just keep focusing on what we are doing and hopefully it will take us to that goal."
