Matchday Thread PNE v Ipswich - 03/02/24 - KO:3PM - Championship

[SF]

This lot are so, so, so bad at the back.

Wonder back against them dropping out of the playoffs after watching this.

 

[unconvinced]

Where do they find these refs?

 

[arumturk]

Have to be honest this has been an amazing watch, finally "the BRAND" comes out of its winter hibernation.

A front 4 of Mads-Riis-Millar-Keane is as good as most strike forces in this part of the table so they'll be fun to watch for the rest of the season at least. Feels like last year when Lowe stumbled across a decent starting 11 far too late in the season to get into the top 6.

You're right the 4 look a real threat, the pace of Millar and Reece, the unpredictability if Mads, and finishing of Keane would trouble anyone in this league. Keep this up and don't rule out top 6, there's nothing in it points wise.

 

[Longshanks]

I hope this is our poor half...

 

[nomorebigideas]

I've figured it out.

Lowe's had them under instruction to play shit against anyone outside of the top three.

Then plays a blinder against the rest.

Clever girl.

 

[Walrus]

Mads is the best player on the pitch. Team should be built around him

 

[flipper]

Billy Davies is in the finney behind me.

I'm on end of row in front if you lol

 

[Harry]

Mads is the best player on the pitch. Team should be built around him

He's brilliant today.

 

[nomorebigideas]

Mads is the best player on the pitch. Team should be built around him

The three of them (Riis, Mads, and Keane) playing very well together

 

[arumturk]

When was the last time north end were 3 up in the first half?

Was when we beat Cardiff 9-0 May 1966 🤣🤣

 

[Hoz ']

I'm on end of row in front if you lol

Have we sounded out BD for the job?

Why would he come to watch us, we're shite despite today!

 

[Damp Squib]

Classic North End. We play like prime Barcelona one week, then the next month we’ll play like the local pub team after 8 pints.

 

[Rankine]

Wow we're has that 1st half come from, finally RL letting the flair players play

 

[Cristiano Babb]

The obsession with playing it out ,you see goals every week due to it. Unless your Pep with city players don't bother

 

[HunterLionheart]

In fairness to Ryan Lowe, think he's finally selected our strongest possible XI, so glad it's working out.

 

[SF]

Frojkaer needs more credit for his defensive contribution. He gets back well, drops into a deep midfield role, and makes things difficult. He's been superb at it today.

He's done it from day one but people have accused him of being a luxury player. I don't get it.

 

[northend nevets]

All I can say is wow... Where the fuck did that come from?

I have now bought the Mrs a ticket for every single home game between now and the end of the season.

Shocked at how bad Ipswich are though

 

[NORTHENDRTOPS]

If Lowe gets us into the prem. !! we'll never get rid of him

 

[raefil]

The positive line up has well and truly paid off.

Excellent stuff

 

[kpaul116]

great half, but this shows the frustration, the top six was there for the taking and we should have been up there and safely in a PO spot.
