Speaking to Sky Blue Player, Hall said: "We can't be too downhearted.
"It is bitterly disappointing for us and the fans as well because they were brilliant again but there's a bit of a break now, we've got no midweek game and then it's a massive game against Middlesbrough on Saturday.
"We've got to pick ourselves up and not feel despondent about the result. It is a kick in the teeth because we were doing well but we have to take the positives out the game, like in the first half, and hopefully go on and get result against Boro."
Tickets for City's game against Preston can be bought for £19 in advance. Please note that prices rise on the day to £27 and £32, so if you are planning on going to Saturday's game get a ticket in advance.
