And as t'North End, deary me.

Changes in The Boardroom. Managerial / Coaches and Players required.

Browne and Millar flatter to deceive.

Be fair, Millar is never a wing back, Browne pretty much the same. Constantly being played out of position, partially because of injuries - mainly we've not given any serious thought to squad depth.

There's a it'll do mentality rife within the club, as you say that needs changing sooner rather than later, hopefully

Browne has been THE mainstay of a midfield that has done fuck all for year after year after year, even with Prime Pearson and Gally behind him.

He is overrated gash. Get rid.
 
When the season finishes I tend to get bored on Saturdays, so nothing will change for the next four months . 🥴

What was the reaction to Lowe and Browne?

Browne was the last one off, stood in front of the fans for ages. Lowe kept himself firmly in the centre of the players (he knows what he’s doing there)
 
Jack Daniels said:
One is supposed to be a Captain and Leader (he isn't). Good riddance when he leaves. False "hero".

The other is supposed to be this magical player. He isn't fit to lace McGeadys boots.

We require better than these two but if I had to keep one, it would be Millar.

Thoroughly pissed off (as you can probably tell @OB1)

With respect JD, Alan Browne would run through a brick wall for a manager he believed in, and the problem is, he doesn't believe in Lowe.

McGeady has only performed for one manager, and otherwise turns into a flop, if not nurtured as Grayson appeared to do with him.

Equally pissed off and any chance of season tickets sales matching previous seasons is dependant on a new manager.

Oh! I have a slight positive!

Kian Best came on for the first time in yonks, and he looked comfortable in doing so! If he's planning on being a ball playing centre half, I'd still like him to put a bit of muscle on, but we're certainly crying out for some quality distribution from the back.

Lowe not playing Best since November has been an absolute joke. Clear on the ball quality ignored. We need a new manager to nurture players like him.

Watch he will likely get sold for £250k.

How about believing in both The Badge and The Fans?

He is overrated gash. Close the door, with Ryan, on your way out "Al".

Ridsdale out
Lowe out
And to be honest, I wouldn't care if every single senior player got booted as well.

Lot of hate pouring out against Lowe on here, and I fully understand it.

But make no mistake this set of players are absolute gash. There is a core of 5 or so who keep us up every year, and we’re losing at least one of them this summer for nothing. The rest are garbage.

I never want to see any of our defenders play for us again.

When he had those 2 behind him, he scored double figures.

Fact is, it looks very likely he's going anyway, but of the midfield options we have right now, Whiteman, McCann and Ledson aren't fit to carry his jock.

I hope we pull out a blinder of a signing to replace him, but in recent years, I'd expect an Izzy Brown or Josh Onomah rather than a new Pearo or Gally.

Never going to happen.

There is not a chance they’ll sack him having just finished 10th.

Lowe will be our manager in August.

But I reckon he won’t be our manager come November.

By which time with this squad we will be rock bottom of the League with a mountain to climb to avoid relegation. If no changes then relegation is nailed on ... only reason we didn't finish down there this year was that very very fluky start to the season against the poorer clubs. Once we started playing the better teams all the flaws have been brutally exposed along with the useless manager.

People seriously overrate our squad, it’s really not good. We could definitely play a better still of football, but definitely can’t finish higher then where we did this season.

I criticised Best plenty as a starter, but once it was locked in that he was staying here rather than getting the loan he needed, we should absolutely have given him far more minutes, at least from the bench, than we actually did.

No chance i'm renewing if this clown is here next season. He needs to go right now.

I don't think you will be the only one .Four of us who have been watching pne since the 60's have just about given up. We have seen many ups and downs over many a period till now and I can't remember when we have had a manager that has had so much apathy against him and still in the job. But at the end of the day Ryan Lowe doesn't employ himself and it is up to the powers that be to make the decision because there is no way in the world that Mr Lowe will resign and do the right thing so I won't hold my breath.So many of you will end up watching the same rubbish , if you can call it football next season .I'm afraid to say I and my friends can't face it any more , we want just a small amount of enjoyment on a Saturday not depression .We will still have a few pints on a Saturday but won't be letting the football ruin a good day .

Put the bottle down, he isn't gash you've just had a bit too much to drink.

You've made some decent points but now your sounding silly.

Our backline isn't great, far from it but they're not helped by a set up that puts them under constant pressure
