HMS Lowe
Is Lowe evolving?

Question, how many times did we see DJ do what Holmes did yesterday and has done whilst he's played which is dropping a shoulder and going past people?
DJ rarely did it and that's no slight on him but that is what the midfield has seriously lacked/needed.

Looks familiar.
What did he actually contribute to the coaching staff?, in videos I seen all he ever did was stand with his arms folded looking serious.😂
Biggest difference this season is something that RL has alluded to a few times, imo its not that we have the new signings, although Keane has made a difference. Its that the defence arnt being asked to play through the thirds. We have a good solid championship back line, we dont have any top quality ball playing CB's.
Last season the game was to play out from the back, into the WB's and then into Whitman to create space and chances.. This season its big diag's to the WB's a lot earlier and then play off the 2nd balls.. So yes "Lowe has evolved" or hes just realised that we havnt the players to play certain systems..
It could be that not having Whitman has been the biggest plus point so far, as hes had to change, neither McCann or Ledo can take in the ball and create!!

Yes he has evolved He has just tactically out smarted Megamind Alex Neil and defeated a team full of gods like DJ & Pearo We are top of league It's early days but if you can find a negative anywhere your glass isn't just half empty you haven't got a glass.

What's familiar is David Moyes teams at Preston, came out after half time knowing how to get a win, seeing the same this season with Ryan Lowe

I have it on good authority that Billy is in the process of purchasing a large quantity of Lowey Duvet covers to sell on here.
He’s fighting his way out of his brand new Lowey duvet set.

I also remember going a goal down with Moyes and still believing we'd win it. That's a handy skill.

Not surprised. By July half the forum either had crusty ones already or they were soaked through.
Superb business model by the club, fair play.
Under both Moyes and Davies we seemed to just do enough most games. Go one goal down and score two.

certainly looks like Lowe and Marsh have been on the same summer coaching course as Moyes !
Very pleased with the new “driving” approach which is what we’ve been crying out for.
Similar to “go forward” ball in rugby ie you don’t shovel it backwards and go from one side of the field to another, you straighten the attack, punch holes in the defensive line and get them on the back foot.
Not sure my mum has been on since Jimmy Greaves last played at Deepdale but I called her last night and the first thing she said to me was “Top of the league”!

I think Marsh has always loved the long diagonal passes from the back. I mentioned this around the time of his appointment. I also think the pragmatic approach that is evolving is better suited the players we've got. One final question. Do the players look fitter this season or are they more committed or maybe both?
