Is Lowe evolving?

Is Lowe evolving?

One thing I would prefer not to hear- and some will scoff - is the constant reference to aiming for the top six.

Play-offs are exciting but on average you’re going to fail to go up 3 times out of four…. I hate to sound like Double J… but top six is probably failure! Focus on going up 😆. I know it doesn’t make a big difference - but I do mean it.

Finishing above those Leicester, Southampton, and Leeds squads just looks a complete impossibility to me.

We were talking about being lucky to finish above three teams 5 games ago.

I actually think we will finish above Southampton not because of their squad but because of their manager. When you are losing 5-0 with 68% possession you know the tactics aint right.

Also conceding 4 at home with 70% possession. They are easy to get at too. Very possessions oriented but haven’t kept a clean sheet yet.

Comes across so much better in that than he has in the past. I’m definitely warming to him as a manager and as a bloke. Not that he gives a shit what I think tbf

Same. Its like someone's had a word in his ear over the summer as both on and off the pitch he's improved. Seems more open to change, not so set in the old "Klopp said we played great football" mindset.

Early days but a lot more promising now than it looked 3-4 months ago, nevermind that first half vs Wigan when quite a few thought he was toast at half time.

It’s like he was a giddy young bloke, bit of a wide boy knob, who is maturing rapidly before our eyes… at the age of 45! Comes across well in so many ways in that interview.

It must be easier to be relaxed and pleasant when you’re top of the league- and I’m sure our own perceptions are positively influenced by that too. But he does seem to be genuinely much more engaging and nice.
 
He's on a learning curve.
The bright sparks are on the shallow ones, and the duffers on steep ones.
Most are summat in between.
I'm confident & ( of course ) hopeful that RL's curve will get flatter- it's looking that way, so far.

Maybe all that live TV that he has done with Sky has had a positive effect on him.....

I think someone confirmed on here that he was gone if we lost that match, can't remember who (sorry!)

I found myself actually laughing with him rather than at him in this pod interview.

ANYONE currently out of the 11, for whatever reason, is going to have to be patient.

Apologies as i am a bit behind he curve.
Anyone out of the current more or less 11 SHOULD have to be patient.
One of the ways to see whether Rlowe has evolved is whether he puts his (alleged) favourites straight back in when fit.
Hopefully he sticks with the winning formulae and only tweaks when and if he has to.
 
At least he doesn't seem quite so wedded to pushing the silly 'brand rhetoric' and we have done well so far, partly by circumstance in the pool of players he has to pick from, and partly from some excellent summer signings i.e. Holmes, keane and Mads have all made a massive difference to our offensive play (Americanism -urg!!).
It's silly to get too carried away but points on the board early should breed confidence.

A few Years ago Barnsley (i think it was them) came to Deepdale early in the Season as top of the League, and won, but you could just tell that they where riding there luck, they really tailed away and maybe even got relegated (can't remember exactly).
I don't think we seem to be riding our luck to that extent, but it is a long Season.
For now points on the board are really gratifying, without too much deep thought as to what it means come March, April and May.
 
' attacking' ?
Just a wild thought.
(There's other meanings, too, for that other word: - distasteful, obnoxious, etc etc )

Don't let the Yankees gring you down - &
no offence is intended to Mr.Silverback,btw
