Wing backs.

Wing backs.

Is anyone else sick and fed up of the words “wing back”.

Is the manager a one trick pony.

If they are so hard to come by, should we be playing more to the strengths that is in the squad, presuming we have said strengths.

FFS Lowe, either get some of your precious wing backs or change the fucking formation, oh and ps.. get McCann in the team for a little run so we can be sure he is the guy who should be in the team instead of your man Browne. Your truly, Fed Up of Preston.

With the same seemingly undroppable midfield we will more often than not plod our way through games and slowly build from the back whilst the opposition gets back in place... Call me dim but that doesn't fit in with what Lowe seems to want....... And the only geezer that can up the tempo and energy ( McCann) seems to be completely out of favour... I'm no footy expert but I think this will bite Lowe on the arse..

Yeah, the Ryan Lowe "players now have to look over their shoulders, there's quality competition for places" is largely bollocks really.

Woodman and Hughes have no such pressure - and more glaringly, nor does Potts.

Browne never seems to be under pressure for his starting spot, and nor do Whiteman or DJ.

And who's supposed to be pushing Riis and Parrott to keep their starting spots?

It's still mostly a bunch of first XI players plus a lot of SquadFilla™.

Even the bench yesterday picked itself - I bet there's hardly anyone on here who couldn't name the entire 18 before it was announced.

Yep....

3 transfer windows now of being a 352 team and we haven’t signed a RWB. Very poor.

The left hand side of Hughes, DJ, Brady/Fernandez looks to be good to me, but the right hand side combination of Storey, Browne and Potts looks miles away. Storey did well on Saturday but I’d look to upgrade all 3 of those spots.

Even more crackers that we signed Olusunde in that time period.

Its so disappointing isnt it, only Brady has genuine competition and we all know that Lowe isnt a huge fan of McCann so the midfield have nothing to worry about as well. We’ve been sold a pack of lies. I would love someone to question this to RL or PR.

Think people are far too dismissive of McCann and Woodburn's possibilities of getting into the team over the course of the season. Just because he started the season with senior players doesn't mean they're undroppable.
 
Hate the system, can’t think of any game under Lowe where I’ve come away thinking we look really good. Tbf to Lowe some of the playing staff he has to choose from leaves a lot to be desired.

Lowe himself, brought the feel good factor and some much needed positivity to the club although let’s be honest after FM that wasn’t a tough task. Very entertaining fist pumps after games also but can’t help get the impression he’s a bit of a chancer. 🤷‍♂️

AN wasn’t too far away with the 4-2-3-1 system until PR started selling/losing key players and replacing them with absolute garbage. Can fully see why AN lost interest in the end.

Anyway it looks as though we are stuck with this rubbish set up for the foreseeable future. Even if we wanted to we’d struggle to change as we’ve now got absolutely nothing in the way of wingers. 🤦‍♂️

Lowe didn't start his reign at the start of this season......... He had more than enough time at the back end of last season to weigh up what he had and what to start with so that one doesn't wash...... He's chosen to go with a mid table first team.

To be fair, Browne's been virtually undroppable under the last 2 managers at least.

He's started with his senior pros. As he should. Their shirts to lose. If any of them keep underperforming for him, I'm sure they'll be benched.
The end of last season wasn't exactly a catastrophe- weren't we the 8th best team in the league since he came in, despite having no left wingback and Potts on the right, largely with that same 3 man midfield?

The ones he finished with?............. I'd have thought he'd have caught on by now..If you're happy with doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome then you're as daft as him. If this is the best we are and you believe it then fine. I don't.

You imply that the season finished badly? Why would he be throwing that out? He's surely trying to build on what we had with the addition of new players.

I don't think playing McCann in what Lowe sees as an attacking role makes us magically a top 6 team either.

It'd be a move in the right direction, introduce some urgency, speed the dam team up and stop the bloody plodding we've been doing for yonks......... If you are happy with that then fair enough you'll have an enjoyable season and you and Ryan will get the desired result with mediocrity

After sixty years I’ve been on the verge, time after time of giving up And haven’t til now. Lowe and his wing backs is doing my head in. Rule one as coach / manager you pick your best ‘team‘ of players and play the system that works best for them. You can’t make square in round holes work all the time.look at Potts for an example. He will do the job to a point but not consistently and it’s the same for everyone of his selections Mccann as A wing back ,,, !,,Johnson as a wing back, Browne as a wingback Earl as a wingback ..Cunningham as a wingback .. .. definition of madness doing the same thing wrong getting the same result over and over. …

Your username intrigues me… maybe everyone else has noticed, but did you intentionally put the word SATSUMA backwards in it, or was it just a terrible accident?

Not accusing you of being a Lasher, btw!
