Don't think that Browne and Johnson have been the same since Pearson and Davies left.

Everyone probably has a theory as to why but when they were allowed to get around the penalty area they scored some great goals, wish they could find that form again.

Maybe they both need a new challenge?

Good players find it harder to perform well when other good players are taken out of the team and replaced with dross

That is probably true but I feel that something changed at the club at this time, other players and even the manager appeared to lose a bit of heart for the game?

I suppose that someone from the non playing side could have started to stick thier nose in where it wasn't wanted and was pissing everyone off .

I think that the fans, manager, players and probably the tea lady could do with some good news to give them a lift and put a smile on their face. 🤔😉🤣

I did not write 'Small forest' but the fellow's proper name so presumably some sort of auto-correct gremlin got in there - a bit like the translation of 'hydraulic ram' as 'water sheep' - and continues to do so. But maybe that is how he thinks of himself.

Cheering and applauding an under performing team is just as pathetic and can lead to manager and players thinking they are doing OK. RL said recently that there were only 3 or 4 poor performances this season when fans are disagreeing

No it’s not. It’s called supporting your team. If you don’t applaud them when they win a game then maybe football isn’t the sport for you. Or sport in general.

The only thing pathetic is this coment.

I like Johnson, and think he gets a raw deal at times because of his average Championship wage (or "hugely inflated wage" according to some).

But paying punters still have a right to boo or jeer or applaud whoever they want during a match - the trick to stopping fans booing is not to lecture them about how it's "not very nice" - it's to not perform so poorly next time.

Lowe said when he arrived that his primary goal was to send the PNE fans home happy - well, it's only by being booed off at the end that he'll know for sure that he has failed in that task.

Absolutely. Fans pay so they can boo/jeer:sarcastically cheer all they want.

But if they do that they need to be expected to be called out for it. Lowe isn’t the first manager to speak out about booing fans. Pep did it the other night. Alex Neil and Grayson both spoke out about the support. Like I said fans can vent their frustrations how ever they want but if they do the manager is likely to speak out about it at any level.

So you advocate clapping and cheering a team of highly paid players and management regardless of how they perform. Did you clap them off against Norwich when they under performed?

I’m not on about them when they lose I’m on about when they win. You advocated not clapping them either way.

With 3 wins in 19 home games or whatever it is, if I'm him I'm personally keepin my mouth shut.
Concentrate on pushing your midfield a bit further up the pitch early on instead of just waitin for somethin to happen I.e. goin 0-1 down!!
 
The effort and commitment by the players is in my opinion not in doubt.
The quality more often than not is.
That said, it's so far been enough to get us within a smidge of the Play Offs.
As many have said, many average teams in this division. Burnley and Sheffield Utd are promoted imo, the other spot is up for grabs.

RL may have had a little more in mind than how the fans were yesterday in his remarks on the official site:


"It was excellent,” the manager said, about the fans.

“I could hear them in the dressing room; we must have been right underneath them.

“They were loud and proud from right before they got in here.

“Then obviously the two goals give them something to keep cheering about.

The manager laughed: “Can we not just put them 1,500 somewhere at Deepdale? Maybe right behind the goal? I’m not too sure, but they were all fantastic so thank you from me and the players because it means a lot to us.

They are in Deepdale, Ryan - but they're often not being given the 2 goals to cheer about.

Twice this season and one of those was a 4-2 loss..
27 points out of 42 on the road is a great return so credit where it is due.
13 or of 42 at home is shabby and clearly needs improving. Implied criticism of the home crowd is unwarranted and wide of the mark as the support started the season in good spirits after record S.T. sales. Unfortunately a series of sterile performances has understandably dampened that early enthusiasm.

They need to be in the one area of the ground. This splitting between town end and the kop dilutes the atmosphere.

There was a thread - almost a mini-campaign, for the use of the one half of the BSK for Home fans. So it happens, and now there's a call for the reinstatement of the original designations - ie, evey PNE Bill Shankly Kop person to go back to the Kop.
And one of the arguments used by BSKers was that it would/could increase the atmosphere.
I guess this one's down to personal opinions.

( I'm on Invincibles so don't care/mind either way )

But theoretically this contrast of views could go on for ever
 
When it comes down to it, the atmosphere at home games comes down to one overriding factor - the performance of the team.

Give us something enjoyable to get behind and we'll shout like fuck, even if we go behind. But expecting us to keep going after such a poor run of performances and results at home (and not just this season either) - its just not going to happen.

Team and fans have to be connected. Away from home, where different attributes are often required to get a result (which this team has plenty of) is a different matter. But at home there is now barely any two-way relationship at all now. Properly take the game to teams, play with far more attacking intent (and a bit of flare and skill would be nice) and we will respond.
