Amazing how we won without these really, they’ve been brilliant for the last two seasons!

DJ had a good season last year, this year he's been a shadow of his former self
I can't rember the last time Browne had a good season - perhaps 3 years ago?

Wouldn't be sad if we sold either of them. But I know neither would be replaced sufficiently unfortunately
 
I think Browne still has a future with the club but DJ will be the next Barky. He'll think a new contract offer is on the table but come early July he'll end up signing for one of the "big" League One clubs.
 
Two great Northenders, slightly on the wane.
From DJ's point of view, it's a pity that a move to Scotland didn't happen 18 months ago, and he now looks disinterested and I fear this is his last season with us.
Browne is a victim of his own versatlity, he has never claimed one position but has been very useful in several- now behind Brady at number 10, behind McCann as the engine and behind Potts as Right Wing Back. Lowe's challenge is to maintain his enthusiasm and motivation because I believe we still need him in the squad.
 
Browne has not been played in his preferred position for about 3 years and DJ, on his day, is still oner of the most creative players we have. To lose them after playing them in unfamiliar rolls [left and right wing backs or defence] would be the ultimate folly and typical of PNE in recent years.
 
Like them both but for me, Lowe has to recognise that they shouldnt be automatic starters anymore. Whiteman should be the permanent captain and the midfield built around him. I'd like to see the armband subtly to be passed to him, similar to how Clarke took it from Welsh a few years ago. I was also impressed with the amount of passes forward that Ledson made rather than side to side.

Why can't somebody just ask Browne where he prefers to play and accommodate him. Messing him about week in week out is not good. Continuity is the key to success... Hopefully!

Because, I fear , that he is not technically good enough or consistent in his preferred position at this level. Great energy in a press but lacks creativity

He was scoring 8/12 goals annually as a number 10. How many goals have our number 10 scored since Browne was moved?
Stupid to take our best player in that position and put him elsewhere because he is adaptable and has a good 'I'll try anywhere you want me, boss' attitude.

I’d get rid of the both of them or they take a big pay cut
 
Not surprised DJ has a groin strain with all the running about he does 😊

More surprised he hasn't a sore throat for all his whining at referees.

Not playing Browne in his best position and playing McCann and/or Brady there last home game was bizarre. Browne or Dj have to play as an advanced midfielder. They both have goals in them there. They each were top scorer one season playing there.

I'm not sure Browne is happy. He looks thoroughly pissed off all the time playing at rwb.
