Ryans Post match comments
I never understand this argument. What does us being 8th have to do with anything. 2 more games and we could be 14th. Make changes whilst there is still something to play for. Don't fuck about until the rot sets in and you need another complete overhaul. We've got the talent, now we just need someone who knows how to use it.

Defend with 7, try not to conceed and if we score first defend with 11 and try and hold on!!
Surprised it took you this long to say that.
TBF I've seesawed up and down since Lowe arrived. During his first half-season in charge I said I had my doubts and highlighted how the football was no better than Frankieball, or Neil.
Last season too I criticised him regularly and the football, but put it into context with the lack of investment.
As recently as a few weeks ago I said I would give him until Christmas.
However I have always wanted him to succeed (like every PNE manager), especially in the face of poor backing from the boardroom.
I've even turned a blind eye to his blagging and bullshit, to a degree.
This season, however, there's no excuse. After thoroughly enjoying our remarkable start (and it really was remarkable, whether we were lucky or not - and we were), the results, the football and the performances have reverted to a carbon copy of last season, or worse.
Lowe has had a good enough of a chance. He's been backed with signings (players and staff) and has some raw but talented youngsters at his disposal.
It's not our league position that bothers me so much, although it's really dissapointing to be slipping quickly down the league.
But the real issue is the manner of our defeats and the abject performances. The deterioration of players who we've recently signed and those who've been here longer. Not to mention the disgraceful match stats, shots on goal, GF, GA, XG etc.
Top this all off with a manager who appears to think our performances are competitive and the football is great...essentially a bloke who talks bollocks, and enough is enough.

I clearly see what you mean, but “trying to win” can mean using a patient, probing approach, which is what we were trying. Frustratingly, we couldn’t make it click when we (finally) got as far as getting a ball into the box.
I could live with that in the opening half but we really needed to be more adventurous in the second half. Very disappointing.

Problem with that is it's him that needs the bollocking.
Westley without the entertainment this ‘gobshite’.
Twitching like a promenade bag head in that interview. Swagger gone. Raunging. Spiky. Bless, must be tough when your precious sky are asking mean questions ☹️
The sword of Damocles is being sharpened!

Oddly enough similar thoughts were shared by our group.
At least Westley made us laugh.
Westley without the brains.
As should have been apparent to anyone who’d bothered to listen to a few interviews that he’d done prior to us hiring him.
Bring King Billy back
This is what he said to the media after the game:
Preston boss Ryan Lowe told Sky Sports:
"Both teams were probably not what they wanted to be. I didn't think there was much in the game until we let a ball go across and don't deal with it. Then the second goal comes from the same situation.
"I'm obviously disappointed. I thought both teams were sloppy, giving the ball away, and fair play to Queens Park Rangers, they went on and won it.
"I'm always going to back my players. I know there's groans and moans from sections and that's fine - that's football and it happens up and down the country.
"I've got to have full belief in my players and we've got to find solutions. It's not a case of just downing tools. The last time we lost three on the bounce we went on and got some good results against some good teams.
"So I believe in the group. We can go and do it. But it is a tough time at the moment and you've got to try to get through it."
He’s deluded and clearly a fantasist FFS.
4 goals all conceded at the back post, I’m not a pundit but even I can see what the problem is.
Rant over 😎

Well I've changed my vote. It's taken time , but now the " game's up '' for Lowe.
One dimension.
One game plan.
One way
My way
The Highway
Hopefully.

We cannot afford to sack the manager ££££, so whilst not in immediate danger of relegation they won’t.
They will want to avoid paying multiple managers wages at the same time. ( I believe in recent times North End we’re having to pay 3 managers wages) .

Worked brilliantly on Tuesday that.
Even before last night I was convinced that this bullshitting kernt had to go. I simply can't be arsed to listen to owt he has to say.
Deep down, I was hoping that we'd have beaten these in a comfortable 2-0 win in the ice and I'd be labelled a bedwetter or summat.
Far from it. The evidence is staring us in the face after that piss take of a performance. He needs sacking NOW.

Heard it was marsh who ripped in to the players Tuesday after the game. Lowe said nothing.
The atmosphere at Euxton is supposed to be “poor”
‘Then obviously the fear around the place, and everyone being anxious, playing backwards, groans and whatnot’.
Crikey, it’s the fans at fault for being anxious and groaning and the players for playing backwards. Whatnot also crept back in.
Yet again, it’s the fault of others.
