DAVID Moyes sampled the sweet taste of victory for the first time as Preston manager with a result that delighted the fans.

But the committed gaffer is under no illusions that the good results have to continue if North End are to drag themselves away from the danger zone.

"Now that we have won, we have something to build on," he enthused.

When asked what had caused the remarkable turnabout after the Carlisle disaster, he said bluntly: "Talking. We got together to clear the air and things were said that should have been said months earlier."

Well, they say talk is cheap so if that was the secret of Saturday's performance then it's a good job - they may still need plenty of it.

Moyes went on to praise match winner Moilanen who turned in a great performance: "He was magnificent, made a great save from the penalty and kept us in the match."
