Bristol City caretaker boss Dean Holden told BBC Radio Bristol:
"I thought we deserved to win, second half. There needed to be some strong words at half-time because in the first half we didn't win enough second balls.
"They responded and that's all you can ask for, we came flying out of the traps with the goal and we've had some good chances in the game to win it.
"People will say there's nothing riding on the game but if you were here tonight, you would have seen that both teams were going flat out to win it.
"We're just disappointed we couldn't quite get that win because we got a big performance in the second half and hopefully that will give the supporters something to stay really positive about over the summer and get ready for an attack on [promotion to] the Premier League next year.
"That's the club's aim, that has to be everybody's aim. Everything is set up for the Premier League - it's a fantastic job for whoever gets it."
Preston North End manager Alex Neil:
"We had the better chances and didn't take enough of them, which has been partly the story of our campaign.
"We have also given away too many cheap goals like the one in this game. That's something else we have to work on in such a competitive league.
"The squad needs bolstering and freshening up with a few signings to strengthen us. But overall I have been proud of what the players have done this season.
"It's about taking that extra chance or being sharper at the back to make that bit of difference if we want to improve further."
