There is no evidence yet that McCann can even hack it in English football.

Can't say I've been impressed by him from what I've seen in a PNE shirt so far but can't say he's been bad either. Distinctly average so far but hasn't really had chance to get going obviously.

Browne isn't captain material but today he put a real shift in and was solid, occasionally great, until the last minute. I think it's clear we need a fresh start from top to bottom. I'd go DJ or BFG; not sure about managers...

DJ has been just a shit as browne. Big pat. nobody else even comes close
 
I've been saying this for weeks. Completely beyond me why he was appointed Captain in the first place. Better options are there - Bauer, Iversen, Ledson. At least they'd show a bit of passion and bellowing when necessary. DJ did a great job as well, he must wonder what's going on when a) Browne gets back in the team and b) is again appointed Captain.

I'm afraid it all goes back to the management team who make these choices. And, as I've already said on a previous thread, PNE won't spend the money on a "big name" manager.
 
We are a shambles from top to bottom, Wednesday papered over the cracks, only North End could be in this position with a billionaire owner (rip). Manager and coaching staff aren't good enough for this level and FM's rant at the fans on Wednesday told me we are in big trouble

Give it a rest. I have simply stated the obvious that McCann has yet to prove himself at this level. Why burden him with the captaincy at this early stage of his career?

I wouldn't have him as captain either but all indications are he can hack this level of football and will probably improve us as a team.
 
Rough to see him regress so much from the Coventry game. Especially when he’s making the same mental errors that have caused him to be so poor over the last 2 years

He is not, has never been and will never be a distributor from deep. Hitting 4 or 5 Hollywood passes a game is useless if they never find the target

Against cov, I felt whiteman was the defined base of the midfield 3, with Browne and DJ given more license to interchange.

Today Browne was much more rigid, and dropped deeper than Whiteman to try and distribute. As a result, he was largely terrible.

If you’re gonna beat 4-4-2 with 3-5-2 you have to dominate the midfield. Their 2 more than handled our 3 and we just didn’t get into the game at all
 
Browne is not my choice for Captain. Thought he was solid today. The only blot was his needless first yellow. The real problem is finding a midfield blend that works. We're all huff and puff with little skill and no plan.

Are you fucking kidding me? DJ's form this season has been something Browne hasn't shown in years? Big Pat is the reason we aren't bottom of the table? Is this a joke?

Maybe try reading it. I was saying big pat is the only choice for captain. And if you think for the last 2 games DJ haa been anything other than complete dogshit then you must have had a complete lobotomy

I think this is the point though: DJ is a better 10, Whiteman a better holding midfielder and Ledson is a better Kante style DM. He's old for everyone not to really know what he is bringing to the team. People can have a go at me all they want, this season we have looked so much better without Browne and this is no fluke: there are better midfielders.

Then there is the telling fans to fuck off, the armband stuff. Nice one, enjoy your break tough guy.
