Lowe

Lowe

You’re starting to see now that RL wasn’t ever ‘happy’ with what he has but what do you expect him to say, look what happened to Scott Parker for speaking his mind!

The issue is rather that of a combined one, RL got some decent performances out of us last season but even when we weren’t great we had Archer to take the chance he got and also Riis was flying high. This raised expectations and couple that with the BS RL spouts with the ‘play your part’ slogan and excitement reached new levels not seen since the Billy Davies era.

Now RL is starting to air his thoughts slightly more in hope the board will sanction spending, the fans dissatisfaction is known within but whether its cared for im not convinced.

The reality is our squad/team is weaker than what we ended last season with. Despite the clean sheets Iversen is better than Woodman, Sepp is superior to Storey, Archer is streets above Parrott.
Brady and Fernandez do improve that left hand side but the right is just as ineffective as last season!

RL would have likely sanctioned the sale of Riis if 1) the offer came earlier in the window and 2) he truly believed a good amount would be reinvested for him to purchase 2 or more players.

The league is poor and so long as we are within 10 of the PO’s come the World Cup then a good January can open the door to the majority of the league

Absolutely right, not much evidence of “building” there, we appear to be in decline, both in terms of squad and infrastructure, leaky roof and all.

“Rome wasn’t built in a day” correct, but the Riddler has had at least a decade at PNE and where’s the progress?

I really can’t see the point of any manager over 2 months from a transfer window saying things like ‘We’ve only got what we’ve got’ and ‘the quicker we freshen things up the better’.
Who is that going to motivate?
He should have just stuck to speaking about how the club should have strengthened in the two positions everyone knew we needed.

Or they could have interpreted it as, I’m trying to make it so that you can all play in your correct positions so that you look your best in the PNEFC fire sale (and give aways) of players shop window.

Nothing to do with Lowe.

It’s to do with another manager yet again not backed.

You seem to think this is ok with our current manager but with Alex Neil you couldn’t wait to defend him because Hemmings and Peter fucked him over just like they are doing with Lowe.

It’s a fact you are a hypocrite. Don’t need to
Interview anyone. You have more double standards than Boris Johnson.

It should motivate any underperforming players to prove their worth in the games before the window opens. 🤓

In a few weeks time it will be a full year since a certain Irish ‘striker’ actually ‘struck’. 🤷🏻‍♂️

With a record like that, if he needs motivating by the manager it says a lot about the player.

He should be absolutely busting a gut to get on the scoresheet; sprinting here there and everywhere, getting stuck in, battling with defenders, staying on his feet (!), blasting shots from all angles.

If not (and I fear it won’t be), that’s really not down to the manager. 🙁

I’ve said all along that I would be happy with Maguire being our 4th choice striker…at the moment I reckon he’s our no.2 and I would start him every game until the World Cup break.
He’s got a lot to prove but he can’t do it getting splinters in his arse.
I still don’t think it will add any motivation to the squad with saying what Lowe did…he should have had a pop at the owners because I’ve no doubt if we’d have got the two players he wanted we would have been top 6.

Two problems inside of 60s:

- Lowe says there's a good bond between the academy and the first team, and under him, academy players are (and I quote), 'getting opportunities under me' at Preston North End'. Have I missed something? I can't remember seeing any meaningful runs for academy players.

- Lowe says we're playing a 'good brand of football; I'd like to think it's the best the fans have seen in a while'. Whilst it's better than Frankieball (not by a shots on target metric) we've scored a handful of goals this season and often barely registers shots on target most matches.

Am I going mad?

Not going mad at all. I personally think the style of play is absolutely dire. It has been for a good 2 years or more now so not all on Lowe. We are a genuinely turgid side to watch. No flair, no pace, very little creativity. The only remotely entertaining aspect of our play the last season was Riis pulling wonder goals out of his arse and Cameron Archer. That aside, it's painful viewing.

This is why I think the rumours about Lowe falling out with some of the senior players carries weight.

For all his shortcomings I can't see Lowe suffering fools.

Big changing of the guard needed.
