PNE boss hopes to keep up pressure

After a 2-0 win over Doncaster on Easter Monday, the Lancashire outfit are four points adrift of Burnley in the last play-off place with three games remaining.Preston play Cardiff at the weekend realistically needing a victory to keep their promotion ambitions alive, and Irvine is confident that his players are ready to take advantage of any slip-up from the teams above them."Doncaster was a must-win game, if we'd got beaten it would have left us seven points behind with nine to play for," he told the Lancashire Evening Post."Now we are still fighting, breathing down the necks of the teams above, and Saturday's game against Cardiff is going to be a good one."
