Preston North End's assistant boss Rob Kelly says consistency is the key to the club's efforts to avoid the drop.Despite winning four of their last five games, North End still find themselves in the Championship relegation zone.

Kelly told the club's official website: "We know we have got good players but this year it has just been about finding that consistency.

"We've looked at what it might be and what we've done is recognise where we are in some ways, gone back to basics.

"We know we can play, as people have seen against good footballing sides.

"I think we are tough enough, we've got tough characters but we like to play good football."
