Blues boss Simon Garner has been a losing f inalist at the Macron Stadium twice in five


’ti.ye&rs. . But the latest defeat to his


© former side Chorley has galva­ nised the midfielder’s hunger to succeed. First half goals from Mag-


pies trio AndrewTeague, James Dean and Paul Jarvis eased the

up. That will give theladsataste for it and from a personal level I want to get to any final I can. I want to be pushing up the league too.” "Garner, who was in Peter


Smith’s starting XI when the Blues lost'4-0 to Southport in the competition in 2010, added: “Theclubhascomeonleapsand


bounds. “It’s always been a great club.


It is only little but we’ve got a great nucleus of fans. “It’s a stepping stone and


that’s the way I’ve got to look at it. I want to keep that group of players together and add to it. Weneedtostrengthenwhichis obviousbecausewe’reonlyi2th

the play-offs. I don’t want to be a mid-table team. The quality is there. Hopefully that will bean eye-openerforthem.” .. Having conceded from a set-


piece, a penalty and a breaka­ way, Garner feels his players were the perpetrators of their own downfall. . Tmdisappointedtolosebut I’m more disappointed in the


way we played,” Garner said. “We let ourselves down really with the start we had and con­ ceding so early. “Ourworstnightmarecame


to fruition really because some, ofthe lads froze. “There’safew inexperienced


lads at this level and unfortu­ nately it did count. There were a few rabbits in the headlights.- “I’m disappointed with the


manner of the goals we gave away. They’re blooper type ones. It’s horrible defending and you can’t justify it.”


Garner’s haul came in pro­ motion hopefuls North End’s 5-1 demolition of Crewe, following in the footsteps of Preston legend Alex Bruce against Col­ chester in February 1978. Prior to that, you have


to go back to December 1950 to Charlie Wayman atQPR. A total of 17 players have


scored four in one match for Preston in their his­ tory, and Garner said: “It is always nice to score a hat-trick and to get four is a great feeling. “I’ve not scored four in


a game before and to do it here at Deepdale is even better. .. . “ It is another three


points and we are sat nice­ ly in the league. “I’ve always said that


I am confident of scoring goals at this level.” The former Blackburn


Rovers youngster now has 20 goals from 31 appear­ ances so far this season.
