He said: "Our home form has been such that teams are not having a go at us, which wasn't the case earlier in the season.
"Now we have just got to adjust and see what we can do about it. The top teams are always the targets.
"We needed more precision in our finishing when we got opportunities and better deliveries from the wide areas but all in all I am OK with it. We were the team looking to go forward and to have a go.
"There are always going to be highs and lows. It's a 46-game season not 31."
Preston manager Alan Irvine admitted his side had come for a point.
He said: "We knew we would have to defend well as Reading have the best home record in the country let alone the division. The lads deserve a lot of credit.
"It's a fantastic point for us, there's no question about that. I felt we could get something here but only if we were at our best. Today the lads did their jobs."
