Ryan Lowe has warned Sunderland there is no chance his Preston side will be 'on the beach' for Monday's crucial last-day clash at Deepdale. The Black Cats head to Lancashire needing to win to stand a chance of securing a play-off place, although they also need at least one other result to go in their favour.
As for Preston, their faint play-off hopes were killed off last weekend when they lost 4-1 at Sheffield United, meaning they go into the final game on the back of a four-game winless streak and with nothing to play for but pride. However, even if there is nothing riding on the game in terms of the play-offs from Preston's point of view, Lowe insists his team wants to at least finish the season on a high in front of their home fans.
"It's a massive game," said Lowe, who will be watching from the stands on Monday as he begins a three-game touchline ban. "It's not just one where we think we can have our flip flops on and think we're on the beach - no chance!
