I'm not denying that your theory may have been correct but if we blew all our transfer budget on a Keeper then there was naff all in the pot to begin with and we were never going to be able to afford a RWB let alone a competent Striker at this level........ Keepers aren't that expensive .
To PNE budget they are

That, and the two trialists we had for a total of three days and no games before signing.

Still doesn't add up to a reasonable " transfer budget " though does it?, especially when you consider all the " supposed" activity incoming and real life outgoings ....... Fucked if I know if Ridsdale was blagging from day one or after the estate was divvied up the goalposts moved ... Possibly a combination of both. I really don't know but I think he's on borrowed time but given his track record enough has been squirreled away already and sadly he'll be fine.

Agree we noticed some shocking shooting pre match against wba
Can’t comment on Saturdays as was still in the beer tent , wish I’d stayed in there all game 😆
And why did we waste some of the budget on Woodburn, who may or may not come good, but at the moment looks like another Harrop/Bayliss, when the priority was RWB/and or an additional striker?
Can't have been that big a fan if you're spelling it like that! 😉 😂
This is the bit I don’t get at all. I can only think that Woodburn was signed when we still thought the budget remained to get the others in. Likewise, using the budget to pay off Bayliss and Harrop. I think the Harrop payoff was late in the window. Makes me wonder if the transfer budget for the summer was a bit like govt depts budgets “ if you don’t spend it in the financial year/ transfer window you will lose it“. Maybe knowing they only had a bit left they decided to use it on Harrop rather than nothing? Clearly after they spent on Woodburns contract and Bayliss the budget must have been cut or it was gross mis-management of the budget? Who knows?
No fist pumping tonight. Called all the players over to us and made it about them. Fair play.
Yep, it was quite noticeable that he put the emphasis on the Players. Well done, Ryan.

I think what happened against Stoke as wounded him. The ire from the fans should be mainly at the powers that be. If he didn’t know how passionate the fans were he does now. Now he needs to get the players and himself ready for Saturday. Because another display like Stoke and the first half of the match tonight the fans will be at him again.
If it’s 0-0 at half time with 65% possession at HT on Saturday I certainly don’t think anyone will be at him. In a derby away that would be lunacy.

I think that was more about, job half done, Saturday is the big one.
No one can deny that we appointed a young up and coming manager. The manager brought a buzz and said that things were going to happen and so far some of them haven't. BUT, some of them have. Deepdale was a really vibrant place to be in August (pre window closing.) Obviously that's because we as supporters got onboard with what Ryan Lowe said.
Fast forward to last night and the fist pumping has gone and some of Ryan's interviews sound a little bit forlorn.
I strongly believe that we need to get 100% behind Ryan and the players we have here now. So much of what is not right at the moment is not down to them but those above them. If we don't back Ryan Lowe and the team vocally I see him going the same way as Alex Neil, ie; losing his mojo and that filtering onto the pitch. Then what happens, he walks or is sacked and we're back to square one appointing the next up and coming young manager only for the same to happen again. I know that the support will be loud on Saturday in that shithole, but we need to ramp it up again at home. The results home and away show that there's a problem at home. Maybe it's the personnel being better suited to grinding out an away result. But the grumbling at the first misplaced pass at Deepdale is back and it needs to stop. That's why we are called "supporters," we have a job to do.

Tough watch this. Seems to have lost all motivation already. Absolutely no need to have a pop at the question - we were awful first 45.
I'm not Lowe's biggest fan (I think he's tactically naive and seems to be out of his depth at times) but Ridsdale and Hemmings have ruined a managers passion yet again in less than a year. Compare that interview to his first couple of months.
Please can these charlatans get out of this football club.
Where do I start with this? You call Lowe a sub standard gobshite yet hope he doesnt get the sack. Make your mind up. No improvement in any of our players? You are seriously suggesting that the likes of Storey & Lindsay havent improved beyond recognition ?
