Matchday Thread Gentry Day - Watford v PNE - 6/04/24 - KO:3PM

[Wisemen say]

Haven't won a league game at home since November either. More bullshit from Billy Bullshitter.

They have conceded a goal in last 15 home games, prior to today.🤔

As soon as I saw they hadn't won a home game since November and that they hadn't kept a clean sheet in 15 home games I knew we were done for 🤣

Riis off? FFS!

Going through the thread on the way home so not picking on this post and no idea if anyone else has said anything but Riis was blowing out of his arse at this point. Maybe out of iFollow shot but during every break in play he was hunched over. Not sure Keane or Osmajic were in any better state but still seemed to have maybe more in tank

Hope they don’t forget their flip flops.

Rumour has it that some guy named Ronald is currently in possession of all flip flops in the Preston area. Apparently he is demanding the release of Aragorn in return for the release of the flip flops 🙂

I was having to listen to Radio Lancs today so I couldn't see that. From the commentary it sounded like he'd been the most effective of the front 3, and there were comments about Keane possibly feeling his (own) groin.

RL is full of Bull shit, it is and always has been his own agenda look at me who I am who I know.
His recent phone call to Carragher in the podcast with Neville and the rest a good example of this.
Today was a must win, after Birmingham and with the on going scores, he went for the point achieved his aim, not interested in top six, top end table finish anything above half way to improve his credibility, he is not Preston North End he is RL and nothing else, please get rid or just fuck off, had enough bullshit from the Scouser.☹️😡

Of course, if Keane had been feeling Riis' groin it might explain why the latter kept doubling up 🤣

Positive note, sounds like Watford and their fans were excellent hosts for Gentry Day and very welcoming to all the tributes

Far cry from some clubs in previous years

Absolutely this. Talked to a few in and around on the way and all interested in why we all had hats and the meaning. It’s a dull place no doubt is Watford but credit that all the pubs seemed to have mingling fans and no bother whatsoever. A credit to both clubs.

Mind you they were absent for about 89.5 minutes inside the ground. Thank Christ we don’t have a singer/musician in the club ranks that dictates the playlists ahead during and after games. Elton must fund that club through self generated royalties

Spent 24 enjoyable years in Herts, albeit East rather than West.

My most memorable trip to Watford was when we won 1 nil midweek and I sat next to fellow Nobber Sir Cecil Parkinson.

Robbie Brady looks a right rum fecker in his Gentry Bowler👍
And I know there’s a lot of negative stuff flying around but he looks a different player at the moment.

I’ve watched 75% of our games and I’ve no idea how we’re close to the playoffs. We’ve been hammered on multiple occasions, haven’t really blown any team away, had a number of games where we’ve been flat and lethargic and went on a run where we won 5 games in 21

Both performances this week have lacked effort from the players, rather than being tactical cockups or down to players being available. What he said is 100% fair

Same can be said of most teams in this league. Very inconsistent but its such a tight league outside of the immediate parachute teams (and Ipswich) p

I'm with you on the " fuck off Ryan ".....I've had enough of him too.

I do hope people don’t fall for the coincidental phone call, carragher not having his phone on silent and the ooh it’s Ryan Lowe Preston manager. It’s all PR led bullshit.

I hope he’s raising his profile ready for fucking off in the summer. I can see him trying media for a while if he goes. Fingers crossed.

is it contract negotiation time already???

 

[ShanklyKop]

Disappointing to be falling away from the play offs but I think it's understandable missing so many big players at the moment. 0-0 all things considered isn't a bad result today. Hopefully a big push and strong finish to season.

No issues with Lowe's comments at all. Journo trying to make a name for himself provoking manager with pointless question gets a blunt answer. 🤔 Any excuse to jump on Lowe and have a go. Just my opinion of course.

Anyway onto the next one. UTW's.

My son saw Wallace and Gromit animator, Christopher Sadler, in the Away end 👍

Lowe:
"At this stage of the season you need three points, but as I've always said, if you can't win it certainly don't lose it."
Should have been “we couldn’t win it so we didn’t lose”

News for you Ryan , no, you didn’t lose the game , you lost the season .

Nope.
Got to disagree with that.
About time a journo asked Lowe a pressing question, rather than the usual run of the mill crap

Why’s it pointless asking why your most, arguably only, creative player stayed on the bench for more than 80 minutes?
