Simon Grayson wants his players to embrace their second opportunity of earning Championship football, this time via the Play-Offs.
North End lost 1-0 against Colchester United at the Weston Homes Community Stadium, a result which means PNE face Chesterfield over two legs for a place at Wembley.
And the gaffer wants an immediate response from everyone.
“We have got to pick ourselves up very quickly,” he told PNE Player following the full-time whistle.
“We have emphasised to the players that we have now got a second opportunity to still get promoted into the Championship.
“Preparations start on Tuesday, games on Thursday then Sunday, so we haven’t got any time to wallow in self-pity or anything.
“We have got to be positive; we have got to be bright to go again on Thursday night at Chesterfield which will be a difficult game.
“We have still got a second opportunity to get promoted.”
