Lowe

Bloody hell Joan. Im on your side here! The tone of my post is being misconstrued. Im just saying what RL wanted and what he has. If you were to put that to PR he would say we have Potts and Browne as RWB options. Im not sure he can defend himself on our attacking options though. I would swap them with anything else in this division. I am pissed off as you are, I can’t even see the end of a game out, i’m always half way to the car. As for the promises, its quite clear that they have sold him short otherwise he wouldn't have said he would have preferred a couple more. I don’t feel sorry for him and I don’t like what he has to say week in, week out.

Sorry Simon I really shouldn’t get so aggravated but I just can’t help it, all that build up over the summer to be let down again. I think I’m more angry at myself for believing the same old spin, I should have known there has never been any intention of going anywhere but downwards.

I didn’t agree with the substitutions today and i do think the wrong personnel came off , however Lowe had to try something to get us back into the game …

I was told a week ago that the real reason there was suddenly no money available is because the Hemmings suddenly decided not to sanction anything in retaliation at Lowe because he refused to allow the sale of Riis …

This indicates to me that they were relying on selling him to the highest bidder to line their own pockets again!!

They’re the problem here, their lack of foresight and ambition will see us in League One.

Can anyone itk - if there is such a thing anymore confirm of this is true ?

Surely Lowe doesn't have the authority to refuse to sell Riis. I would have thought if the Hemmings wanted to sell him they would.
Not saying this in support of the owners by the way who have failed to get players in 2 key positions.
Awful finish to the transfer window.

I posted on the Match Day thread, Lowe has not been backed properly, just like most (all) PNE managers.

Most other clubs in the division (large & small) manage to sign decent players, but not us? Why? Why do we make largely mediocre signings? (Woodman & Fernandez excepted)

Money spent on only one signing, the rest free transfers and loans - and that after reducing the wage bill by thousands.

What is the clubs strategy? What is our plan? Do we have either of these things?

However, as with all previous managers, we have to start looking at what Lowe is getting out of the players he DOES have, and ask if we would be getting better results with different tactics and different coaching.

1 goal in 6 home games simply is not good enough, whichever way you slice it. There really aren't any excuses for that. We can't keep a clean sheet in every game, so if we can't score then obviously we're in big trouble.

Feel really let down by the owners just as much as every other fan, but the manager can't be absolved of his responsibilities etiher.

100% this. Harsh to blame Lowe today. He was on a bit of a hiding to nothing against the top of the league. But this cannot obscure the fact that we simply cannot score. The manager has to sort this out.
"The man who is not satisfied with what he has will never be satisfied with what he does not have." Socrates: who could transform our midfield.

We’re all feeling it. I want this season to end already. I feel so let down also. Why do we think it will change, we should know better. I guess thats what makes us human.

Wasn’t a hiding though, we were the better team. We are just too stupid to address what was needed.

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

Who hasn’t had a chance this season other than Bauer/Diaby?

I’m of the same mind. Did not renew last season because the owners got rid of Pearson and Davies and replaced with cheap inferiors and then went cheap with Frankie as manager. This season after so much promise the fans backed the club immensely by purchasing early bird deals . It turns out that just like the building plots in Ingol the fans have been used and shafted by the owners. More season ticket sales , more chance of selling the club . If the Hemmings Trust really want rid just give the club away. They paid feck all for my shares , they say nothing to inspire , they spend less in real terms on the club than the average fan . We are going only one way whilst this miserly lot remain in charge.
 
The fact that people keep suggesting to play Brady in attacking midfield or as a forward just goes to show how stale we are.

The Manager is at fault because he's asked.for no negativity towards the board, he's said he's happy with what he's got.

That's said, we know it's half a lie and the owners are who the majority of anger should be directed at.

This club has stood still whilst it's fans and playing staff are trying to push us on with close to zero help.

All I can think of husv343 - ie 3 up top , would Alvaro Riis Brady work? We desperately miss pace on right. Ironically Sinclair/Barky fitted this! 🙈

Preston North End - First Team

No point having these lads on Pro contracts if they not going to be used. But as we know defending wasn't the problem, its going forward. Some of the Forwards should be refunding their wages. Even the laws of averages we should have more goals. High, wide, Blocked. Its not just about getting the ball in the box, its about being creative, using each other. Its not even the formation, because we are creating chances, its putting them away. Questions should be why are so many chances going high and wide? why can't these lads score. in over 27-29 years of supporting PNE, can't ever remember a time I didn't expect us not to score. And when its not working and it bloody well isn't he needs to change it, stop taking off players just because you have other players that can play there. The fans are not stupid, they not idiots, they boo-ed and chanted because they can see it. Lowe is seriously out of his depth, with the squad we have. The Board need to address it, either get in a striker or 2 or get in a Manger that can get these lads scoring. I don't mind us losing, its the manor.

We are to midfield loaded.

Woodman
Storey -- Lindsay -- Hughes
Ledson ---- Whiteman
Brady ---- Johnson ---- Fernandez
Browne ------ Riis

Browne can play up front and would be better option to Parrott. Brady and Fernandez swapping sides.

This is what I would try
