“We saw at Wigan away we can go on and score four or five, but if you can’t get the ball in the back of the net, then you make sure you don’t lose, and we’ve done that.
“It’ll come, it’s like that in the Championship. We know the goals will come with the amount of the ball we have."
The centre back is hoping that he can continue contributing on that front after opening the scoring against the Lilywhites.

He said: “It’s been a long time coming. I’ve had the chances over the last couple of seasons and just not put the ball away, but hopefully that starts a run now and I can get a few of them under my belt.”
Harwood-Bellis comes from a team of superstars, the England Under 21 skipper has been surrounded by them for the majority of his career. And he feels that he's in good company once again having made the temporary switch to Turf Moor.
He said: “Everyone in every position is really good. We’ve got two teams really that we could put out that would be really good ones.

On the supporters, he added: “[The fans] are brilliant. I felt it as soon as I first came and saw it at Huddersfield away. From then on, they’ve been the best I’ve seen.”
