‘You can see’ – Aston Villa loan man believes he’s starting to show major strength at Preston North End
On-loan Aston Villa man was a stand out performer for PNE against Watford
Preston North End loan star Kaine Kesler-Hayden believed a win, like Wednesday night’s over Watford, had been coming.
The Lilywhites saw off the Hornets 3-0, with Milutin Osmajic scoring a brace and Ali McCann firing in the third – as all of Paul Heckingbottom side’s goals came in the second half. For Kesler-Hayden, who is on loan for the season from Aston Villa, it was his first Championship start in four games.
North End’s number 29 came on as a substitute against Blackburn Rovers and Millwall, while playing the full Carabao Cup tie with Fulham. His performances in a PNE shirt have been bright so far and – despite defeat to Millwall last weekend – the wide man remained confident in both the team and himself
“Yeah, 100 per cent,” said Kesler-Hayden. “Performances, pre-Millwall, were really good. I think that was a one-off and we obviously won’t let that happen. The performance was at the level it needed to be (against Watford). It was all about keeping that positive mindset and attitude, throughout the week. After a loss, you cannot just dwell on it. We had to turn it around and that’s what we did.
