Huddersfield manager Darren Moore told BBC Radio Leeds:
"I'm not happy - not happy with the way we started the game, not happy with the energy and obviously going a goal down in the first two minutes, you can't be happy with that.
"We made a change at half-time because we had to get some impetus back into the game. Wardy scored his goal and we're back in the game, and we had a 10-15-minute spell where it looked like we were getting back in the game and forcing Preston back.
"The disappointing thing was that on the third goal, with the shot, and trajectory of the ball, that it ended up in the back of the net, which I didn't expect to see.
"That seemed to knock the wind out of our sails, they went into a low block and we found it difficult to break them down.
"I could have made changes 20 minutes into the game."
Preston North End boss Ryan Lowe told BBC Radio Lancashire:
"The performance was different class, from start to finish. Every single individual, and collectively as a team, were fantastic. The goals were well-worked.
"That was the plan, to get right after them early doors. We knew we'd have large parts of possession, and the lads executed the team plan to a tee.
"I've always had faith that the boys could do that as they've shown it before. Some people might have doubts, and that's fine, but for what we are and what we're trying to do, it's pleasing."
