Two points dropped against poor opposition whose only shot on target went in, deserved lead through Sinclair, have to say I player only started working halfway through the first half.
The substitutions played a part their's actual made them better than they were and ours made us look worse, getting close behind anyone of 7 can get the last place
Luton Town 1 McManaman Preston North End 1Sinclair
Substitute Callum McManaman's fine late strike earned struggling Luton Town a draw with play-off hopefuls Preston North End in Nathan Jones' first game back in charge at Kenilworth Road.
Former Wigan winger McManaman found the top corner with a unstoppable shot from the edge of the box with the home side's first effort on target.
Up until then Preston had been the better team on the return of Championship football behind closed doors, deservedly going ahead when Tom Barkhuizen got the better of Martin Cranie and fed Scott Sinclair, who was allowed to move inside and sidefoot into the far corner.
But it was Luton who looked most likely to find a stoppage-time winner, Ryan Tunnicliffe curling just over Declan Rudd's goal from long range.
Sean Maguire twice went close for the visitors in a scrappy first half, denied by the sprawling Simon Sluga after the Irishman saw a low effort deflect wide.
Luton could have fallen further behind before their leveller, Paul Gallagher's free-kick palmed away by Sluga and Ben Pearson's fierce drive flying just over.
On this performance - despite claiming a late point - Jones has a lot of work to do if Luton are to escape from the relegation zone.

McManaman's wonderstrike was their only effort on goal as they looked understandably off the pace after the league's three-month suspension because of coronavirus.
Neil will be frustrated that his side were unable to see out a win that would have given his side a three-point buffer over the play-off chasing pack.
While Preston were not at their best the likes of Maguire, Gallagher and Ben Pearson looked relatively sharp given the lack of recent match action.
