Think it's fair to say that after this Summer's investment, and reshaping of the backroom staff. that PNE now can finally be judged as Lowe's own team.

After a few years settling in, I really think he "gets it" now. The Brand™️ nonsense has gone, and Ryan Lowe seems to be taking a much more realistic and Lancastrian approach to things this season.

“What I will say is the lads were fantastic right the way from start to finish. We dealt with large parts of pressure from Blackburn who are a very good footballing team and very intricate.

“The first goal we scored was fantastic. We were disappointed with their goal of course, but the never say die attitude and the way we just kept fighting until the end to get that winner is really pleasing.”

On the fans: “[They were] Boss. I put a bit of pressure on myself in the week by saying let’s fill the top stand and I was thinking about that today when I was coming in. I was thinking ‘Oh God, make sure we win because they’ll be after me’.

“They were singing right the way through. Even when they scored, they got back on side with the players, and to sing the way they did and to rally them through [was fantastic].

“They’ve been doing that all season. Continue it because the lads need it on a weekly basis, and they’re the rewards they get: we send them home happy.”

Gaffer Couldn’t Have Asked For Better Winning Moment

Ryan Lowe admitted he couldn’t have asked for a better ending to the derby victory over Blackburn Rovers, as Liam Lindsay headed home a last-minute winner.

I said during our amazing early season form that the table is only really worth starting paying attention to once we get in to November... And here we are 16 games in, going in to the second international break still in the play-offs! Amazing!

Two years in anyone got his championship win percentage? I reckon it's miles better than majority of managers currently operating at championship level.
 
The 9 games between now and the end of the year are key for us. We've on paper a decent run, with the bottom two both at home during that time as well as two of the sides out of form in Norwich and Huddersfield in the first couple of weeks in December.

Speaking of form, in the last 10 games we're 16th in the form book, and only the aforementioned Norwich have conceded more during that time. Defensively we need to tighten up, and completely agree with the calls for defensive reassurements in January (we needed it in the summer but it didn't happen)

Not getting overly carried away after beating two sides that will probably finish in the bottom half after going 7 without a win, but get to New Year in a strong position and anything could happen.

Real test of what we're about in that first week back from the break. Cardiff are arguably the league's most inconsistent side and then Middlesborough who have been absolutely flying after their tough start to the season.

Enjoy the ride.

Completely agree with your sentiment to enjoy the ride...

At the end of the day, the football can be turgid but it's no worse than some of the performances under Neil & Grayson (and the less said about the postman the better).

In Mads and Millar we have two of the most exciting players since McGeady, and we have got more academy players around the first team since probably the relegation season.

Plus you can't deny that Lowe seems to have a knack for improving strikers (when was the last time we had so many players who could challenge for the number 9 shirt?!?), and the improvement to Potts and Lindsay has been nothing short of remarkable.

We are still a small fish in a big pond. Let's just see where we end up.
 
January will see injured players return (maybe before) and hopefully a couple in to freshen up the side for the second half of the season.

And the resurgence of Alan Browne too...

Credit to the board as well. I don't think we'd have got the players we have in the summer if Trev was still about, we certainly wouldn't have bid for Canon. They've installed belief into their manager .
