Lowe

[Yoowell]

Yesterday we ve never seen Storey so far forward, and hughes going forward and both wing backs well forward...so it wasn't 5 at the back (it was against Clarets)
F & B together worth a try but Fendandez hasnt been able to complete 90 mins yet.
Maguire and Evans it is then
We cant go down the middle cos our CF cant control a ball
until we go behind our build up play is generally entertaining.... just nobody capable of finishing it off...... which we knew back in July"

Lowe made a dogs breakfast of the triple substitution and then tried to justify it by saying that it was only a matter of time before Alvaro & McCann tired because of the ground they had covered.
However even if they had stayed on we could have played until after the international break and it would still be Preston 0

We will have to agree to disagree with regards to the build up play .

Like I said . How many crosses have we put in this season ? Must be close to 100, how many times have we got on the end of them ?

We don't have mid fielder or a striker who can take on a defender (not Lowe's fault) .

But I'd like to see more of emphasis on getting the ball down and passing to feet.

Give it a rest eh.

You’re boring as fuck

nope....he shit...will always be shit and it would be far better if he played for shitpool

If I'm Ryan Lowe, I'm getting my agent straight on the blower to Cardiff City tonight.

Oh I hope so ....

Arsenal brought on a sub toaday, the youngest ever to play in the Prem aged just 15. give the kids a chance.

There's no point playing the kids if they are hoping to have to play lowes shit system

We are 13 games away from the next transfer window, our season could be over by then

Our season won’t be over until the last few games at best - for all the wrong reasons. 🙁

 

[Dick Dastardly]

Made all the right substitutions at right time. We would have gone on to at least draw if not for the cock up by Woodman and Hughes. The manager can't legislate for that. Both Hughes and Woodman have been superb so far all season so hard to criticise. On to the next game.

How’d you work that out then given we were 1-0 down when that happened and didn’t look remotely like scoring?

This possession based football is boring, bring back a Billy Davies style 442 with wingers at least it gets you on the edge of your seat. We always used to have that underdog mentality at Deepdale and rough these big teams up a bit. Now it's too nicey nicey. You can't match these teams when we don't have the players. We have to do it a different way.

Billy Davies style football was based on possession. Neat little triangles in the middle of the park. It was effective. McKenna, O’Neil, David jones. Quality central midfielders who was essential to the style of play.

Polite response

I don't understand why people think just buying more players or simply changing a manager will solve the problems. That's Sunday League kind of thinking.

Modern football clubs need to have a solid backroom structure to succeed and from what I can see the biggest lack of investment is in the coaching staff. Where's the investment in sport science, where are the specialist couches who can work on marginal gains in specific areas?

Blaming the board or the manager for not spending money on matchday issues will just repeat the problem, until they invest properly off the pitch we'll never see a sustainable improvement.

 

[Warton PNE]

‘If we had Archer’ etc, snooze.

He’s not here. He won’t be coming back in January. Move on.

 

[California_PNE]

Billy Davies and the little triangles 😂

 

[Aragorn]

I have banged on here for an age and a time about O'Reilly, it would be a travesty if we allow him to leave on a Free.

I include the previous management in their failure of his undoubted talent.

Bring Adam home and bloody well use him (and Bennett, too!).

I am a massive fan of Lowe but gun to my head, a choice of Lowe or O'Reilly, then I am choosing Adam every single time.

Really been that good?

If you want a specialist couch I suggest you get to DFS.

Goal Avalanche 😂

It's all a bit depressing isn't it

Fair play Thrace - I hadn't bothered to do the maths, but had assumed Frankie's tenure was far more ill fated than Lowe's. I again haven't looked, but I would hope at least that chances created and possession stats are far superior under Lowe

Frankieball: 1st 10 league games 2021/22:
P 10 W2 D5 L3 F10 A12 Pts 11.

Loweshow: 1st 10 league games 2022/23:
P 10 W2 D6 L2 F3 A4 Pts 12

Frankieball: 2nd 10 league games 2021/22:
P 10 W4 D2 L4 F12 A14 Pts 14.
Game 21: Lost at The Plastics = Bye bye Frankie.

Loweshow: 2nd 10 league games 2022/23:
Mackems (a); Baggies (h); Norwich (a); Stoke (h); Hudders (a); Lashers (a); Boro (h); Swansea (h); Reading (a); Millwall (h).
Game 21: The Plastics away (Spooky huh?!).

How many points will we have after 20 league games this season, before we go into the Rovers game?
Frankieball had 25 points.

And what does Muttley / Muggsy say to that?
"HeHeHeHeHeHeHeHe...He"
"Shut Up, Muggsy"
"Woof. Shut Up yourself, Dick"

No im not. I want the club to do well. You obviously don’t as you are that far up Peter’s ass I can see the shit coming off your nose.

Stop apologising for the club and only blaming the manager.

Having ched and maguire on the bench is a complete and utter fuck up.

The Hemmings and Peter are to blame. Why can’t apologists like yourself see this.

But yes let’s get rid of the manager and continue to let them get away with it yet again.

I’m fuming after todays match. My anger is directed at the clowns running this shit show.

And what point have I proved. Potts isn’t a right wing back. Name me another who can take his place. I’ll be waiting a long time….

And no I don’t think the performances have been acceptable. But your stupid enough to believe your own shit in thinking sacking the manager is going to solve the issue.

I liked Neil as wel before the club fucked him over.

Name another who CAN or more to the point WILL take Hemmings place? I'll be waiting a long time.

 

[65on]

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 ?

How can they be lining their own pockets when they are forking out 7 million pounds + a year just to keep us going?

 

[65on]

They probably made a bit out of all those houses at Ingol though, which they wouldn't have got if they hadn't owned PNE.

Stinks of people being jealous of a former brickie turning into a shrewd and successful businessman to me.
