Agreed. It’s a poor manager who doesn’t know how to get someone with 300 club appearances and over 50 goals, and plenty of assists into the team and in form.

All the DJ does it when he wants is tripe. DJ plays well when he plays as a 10, and we very rarely play with our attacking midfield players in attacking positions. No DJ in the squad in a game where we really needed to try to retain possession should be a sackable offence.

Worry is that DJ will be allowed to leave before he’s sacked. No doubt DJ is probs fed up with his “brand”
 
I'm sure the club has already ruled out a new deal for DJ, purely for financial reasons.

So we have to play hacks like Woodburn instead, ahead of them graduating from ex-LFC crisp packet to "DJ replacement".

It's how we treat our long-standing club servants these days.

I think Woodburn is pretty average compared to what DJ has done for us, Woodburn just looks like he cant be assed half the time and plays lazy shit passes.
 
Fairly nuclear approach from Lowe to say the least.

I've been critical of DJs effort in some games recently but I don't think that's how you treat someone who's been at the club for almost a decade. Ultimately he's still our most creative and technical player, not to mention our vice-captain.

No coincidence to me that Johnson gets dropped, Browne suggests we got the tactics wrong and the players are seen arguing on the pitch all on the same day. Wouldn't surprise me if something's going on behind the scenes.

Aye, that's how I see it- don't think that's a coincidence.

Yeah, like where are we going to find some creativity in this shit-awful squad of runners and cloggers?

Oh wait, that's the same problem.

Agree with you. So, let me try and get my head around it, some fans on here and, remarkably, sometimes at Deepdale, actually believe there is no place for Johnson in this team. Yep, that means Ledson😆, Woodburn😆 and an unfit Omanah😭 ahead of him - a one-legged DJ would be ahead of that motley crew.
Well, if the team was properly managed/coached/set up and tactically prepared, who knows what might happen.
 
He’s been a great player for us but DJ checked out ages ago. Long before he signed his latest contract in fact. For whatever reason no club came for him so he had to stay here.

I understand DJ’s frustration, with his ability he should have earned far more from his career but somehow he’s spent most of it here. I suspect his next move won’t be for football achievement reasons.
 
Somebody mentioned that DJ won't run/play the system Lowe wants IE only allowed to run a certain area...any truth in these amateurish tactics
 
RL played DJ in his best position away at Rovers, so why would you then play him in different positions? When RL first arrived at the club DJ was the one player that bought into his style of play and was the best player in most of those early games under RL. What changed is anyones guess, but my guess is that it didn’t take DJ long to realise he was now playing for a sound bite with little knowledge of how to set up a Championship team.
