What about the brand of football? Don't you enjoy the brand?!

Probs the most overrated manager we've had in my life time, can't do anything wrong with vocal swathes yet shown us next to jack shit of his 'coaching qualities'. Mindlessly wedded to a formation that he hasn't got the players for or has rarely worked for him, some senior players gone backwards under him too.
He's a gobshite.
Being relatable, nice fella and loose easy talker has gained him in touchable status and seems to be the only manager who 'wasnt backed' haha. If that's true, allowed to not get anywhere near the best out of the squad he has as a minimum requirement, then at least the two previous managers get the same free ticket too, but they won't cause of how verboten it is to even suggest it. Madness.
Don't want him sacking yet but imo he has a massive task to start getting the best out of his team and instead of talking about his players being brave I think the only person at the club who needs to be brave is Ryan Lowe.

Tbf we have the players for this formation more than any other. He can't just swap us to a 4-4-2 because we don't even have a right back.

We'd have to pay him off at the very least, and apparently we can't even afford to bring players in!

Lowe made two bad decisions today. How many have the board made over the years?
Hemmings should enjoy the stadium while it is full because they will lose an awful lot of fans next season

Oh how could I forget about that to be fair. This ‘philosophy’ he’s got is rendering such an entertaining, attacking brand of football!

Nah, this is a complete myth - the squad isn't strong and we have massive weaknesses of course but this stuff is wrong, I thought we didn't have wingbacks but the argument is we only have the players for this formation....
I literally said the two aren't mutually exclusive. Just because the board are shit doesn't explain that second half tactical shambles. It was like he had a fucking aneurysm when he made those changes.

The thing that worries me is in previous years various people have commented on how we would benefit with a dedicated striker coach. We now literally have a former striker as the manager and he seems to have coached all confidence out of our forward line.
Personally I'd be happy to see the back of the Hemmings', Ridsdale and Lowe.

Well we have Olusunde or Potts. Neither is a Championship righback. Potts has been a right sided midfielder for multiple seasons, so he's playing there.
We could play Hughes or Greg or Alvaro at left back I guess?

Preston north end are a shit show. Performance wise we were ok today but ultimately we lost 2-0, our strikers are terrible, the manager is full of shit and doesnt know how to fix it and we’re led to believe that we’re skint after that below par transfer window. Save your money in January, you will need to keep it to pay off more fuck ups at the end of the season. Wouldnt it be great if we had someone in charge who knew what they were doing. I dream of the day!
Don’t talk absolute shite. Who the hell would want to come to a club with 22 players, one of which is on the transfer list, and the constant moaning of no money, no manager ever backed. We have had two good young managers, almost destroyed one and now close to finishing the other. Get a grip it’s the club and it’s owners and advisors that are the problem.
Its both Lowe and the Board. Constantly using the same players, making the same Subs. Taking off the Better performers. And Riddler should just do one and the Hemmings Family need to address the player issue quickly or F*ck off. Its no surprise that the Fans started getting their hopes up when the club was nearly sold.
All the fans efforts have been well and truely thrown back in the fans face by the Strikers, Lowe and the Club. It will only get worse if its not addressed during this break

More than half of all games are boring now: not just ours. You only have to watch the EFL show to notice that teams aren't having a shot on target until the 75th minute. This infers that a high perecentage of too many matches are tedious bouts of meaningless possesssion at the end of which the ball rarely enters the box. I'm rather wary of the type of football that will be on offer in Qatar given the current brand of possession football we are enduring, the stifling heat and the fear of making a mistake. God help football.
Spot on. It’s time the fans started the “ get out of your club” chant at the wealthiest owners in the league 😉

Potts is already playing right back
I wasn't saying the squad is strong. It's weak up front and paper thin everywhere else.
It's never been my argument that we have no right wing backs. My argument is that we have 1 passable right wing back in Potts and no right backs. We can play a back 3, and that's it. You criticise Lowe for sticking to his 3-5-2. What alternative does he have with the squad he's got?
