Lister City, who have made a name for themselves in the Championship this season, swept aside Preston 3-0 at home at the crack of dawn on Thursday (5) to go top of the table with nine wins from ten, matching Southend United's best start to a season in 2005/06, and are on course for a return to the Premier League next season.
Since their relegation, Lister City have decisively recruited Maliska as their manager, and the Italian-born coach has quickly led the team on the road to recovery. In this match, Das Bailey Heer scored two goals and Ian Nazu also made a contribution to help the team beat Preston 3-0, continuing their undefeated streak, and the momentum of five consecutive victories is remarkable. So far in the season, Lister City has only failed to win one match against Hull City, and the rest of the nine matches have all ended in victories.
