Losing to that scum embarrassing but Neil Harris sussed us out and won the game,so why couldn;t Alex neil suss them out and we win the game?????

Playing Maguire up front on his own laughable becuase we play a long high ball.

Neil has eye for a good player but he cannot turn a losing position into either a draw or a win = he is clueless with this and only wins when the opposition has an off day.

People knock Simon Grayson but he was a better than neil, we need a new manager simple as.

Look at the stats for last season before you slate me

Millwall away lose what an embarrassment doesn;t get any worse. Look at who travelle;d down there and what they received, Was it bad if so and they admit that we should be reimbursed our money. All we want is 90 minutes of endeavour

Where was Moult or Harrop? they will want away and i dont blame them, shite today totally embarrasing

If moult and Harrop are the solution I'd love to know what the question is
 
Think about it... would you have wanted Beckford and Garner up front today and Sam Johnstone in goal? How can we expect to do better with less?
 
How many opening day games have PNE actually won since Sir Tom.Not many I wager.Couple that with the fact that I have backed us to get promoted this season and there lies the problem.if I bought a topic bar I wouldn't get a fuckin hazelnut in it!joking aside get a grip it's the first game????
 
I am not at the stage of criticising the manager so much that I am calling for his removal but I am worried that......
A) no new keeper has been recruited.
B) Maguire is still being used as a lone striker and is asked to chase long balls lumped forward.
C) Captain Clarke who is slow, can be turned easily and is a central defender is still the preferred right back!
All these were failings seen last season.

I like the way that when winning we don't shut up shop like mr Grayson did but
If performances and results like this continue, Spender will not be the only voice calling for new management.

It's the when winning part I am interested in which seems to be our fundamental problem over the last eight or so games.
Looking at the statistics we are getting chances but simply not capitalising on them, I guess you have to question is that a formation issue or down to good old fashioned quality up front? For sure time will tell us

The drunken ramblings of a crazy.
 
Nice replies,

It isn't calling the managers head after one game it is that we haven't moved on from last season same old problems that this manager cannot address and that is worrying. We like any other teram can lose to any other team in this league but Millwall????? come on a pub team at best and we throw it away.

Stockley should have started, he can hold the ball up and ruffle defenders, Maguire is a different sort of striker and would better as an impact striker when defenders are tired, its not rocket science but our manager cannot see this.

BIG spending & much fancied Fulham lost to Barnsley yesterday. Do you think Fulham haven’t moved on from last season either? You get all types of results & performances on day 1.

Green & Bayliss only joined two days before, and will need time to bed in, along with the proposed GK we’re after.

I’d respect your post more, if it was 8/9 games into the season.

Neil was essentially using the same tools as last season yesterday. Chill.

For once he's actually making sense , lets give it 10 - 15 games see if things improve.
 
I'll say it as I see it , an awful lot of people post Grayson moaned about negative set ups and the mentality of being a hard to beat side but lacking flair for most of his tenure - is it genuinely any better under Neil ? ( especially at Deepdale where other then 4 / 5 performances in two seasons its frankly drab at best ) , yes its about results but I also want to be entertained and I watch just as an example Luton on the Friday have a good go at Boro or Barnsley attacking Fulham with pace yesterday ( from the highlights Ive seen ) and we just IMO are set up well away from home to frustrate and counter but as long as Neil persists with Maguire upfront ( which I find utterly baffling especially at home ) and does not resort back to the high press which was very evident in the early part of his managerial time at Deepdale ( yes we had injuries but I felt like we went to win games not worry as much about the opposition / try and win by the odd goal ) I think whist we have a very decent team missing as we all know a couple of key improvements at the moment this team appears to be treading water , a very poor finish to last season , we look lethargic in pre season and by all accounts had zero ideas in the second half at Millwall , I'm sure Im in the minority but Im not as convinced with Neil as others but hope of course we get back to winning ways with a sprinkle of entertainment and a good season - my gut just tells me it might be a long one

Maguire up front would/will be OK if we find a midfielder who can carry the ball and play him in with a decent pass.

Or, maybe we could play our wingers on their “right” side so that they could beat their full back and get to the bi-line to put in a cross, instead of playing on their “wrong”side and trying to cut inside on to their best foot to shoot, usually running out of space on the edge of a crowded penalty area. Just a thought.
