Butter Pies V Pie Eaters

Ledson today? He had a decent first 20 minutes.

2-1 😀👍

3 points from a home game ( yes, at home , the place many have been wanting to see goals, entertainment and a win ? )
45 points and 13 games to go ?

But not one iota of praise or satisfaction.... Oh well....

It's all how we see it from the terraces, but Lowe's starting eleven would probably have been mine. Given injuries, and suspensions there isn't much room for manoeuvre. Woodburn wouldn't start for me but DJ would .

The squad lacks depth, consistency and carries too many players whose quality cannot be combined to give us a promotion challenging outfit.

Three of us travelled down from Lancaster today. None of us are renewing Season cards next year. There was more entertainment today, I concede, but we are a house of cards ready to collapse, without fundamental reform.

Pleased with the three points.
Softest pen from my angle. Don’t know what the Town End think. CBA with DJs play acting.
Good finish from Cannon. With Parrott we looked lively up front second half.
Some resilient defending second half also.
With with Wigan lads in the Adelphi after the game and they’ve never seen a team booed back onto the pitch after half time. Poor form and it’s hard to disagree with that. Booing in the 90 minutes just does not help however large the frustration.
Hopefully that will give a shred of confidence for midweek.

Thought DJ bang on today...even before the game he was going around giving instructions to younger players. Cupped his ears after the pen..so what? Significant improvement on Woodburn in that role.

Maybe those who are not blown away with the 3 points or the 45 points recognise that we were given a very soft pen today to get us back into the game against a poor team, that the League position is a reflection on early season defensive form when the wbs operated more as extra defenders esp. away from home and that we are systemically weak on and off the pitch?

Pleased for Cannon ...said before the game that if |I was only going to pick one forward it would be him. That bit of pace he has got kept him clear of the defenders for his goal. He's one that is showing promise.

Think it's too soon to talk of Season Cards for next season...anything could happen between now and then. If there are no significant changes on and off the pitch then I am sure that thousands will recognise that we are relegation fodder and will (understandably) stay away. Granted this is the most likely scenario at the present time but you would not be a North End supporter if you did not live in hope.

How Ledson gets a new contact and DJ doesn’t is beyond me. Ledson plays in the most pivotal position on the pitch and like Potts is sadly not good enough.Two poor sides I think we will stay up this season but not next.Bambo lads up front did well entertainment 2/3 out of 10.
That’s why the fans are booing Mr Lowe

"First and foremost", as our manager eloquently puts it in every single interview, Ledson was actually willing to sign one.

Bambo is my new hero. Yes, could have done better for the goal but also prevented a certain one in the 2nd half. First class for effort and offers something we sorely lack in pace, strength and ability to progress the ball.

I can absolutely see why people wouldn't rate Diaby the highest. Can be rash and has a mistake in him. Keeps you on the edge of your seat and makes people nervous. But he knows how lucky he is to have this shot with us and plays with commitment and a smile on his face. Personally I think he adds more to the side than Storey does in that position. Storey may be better at middle CB.

Diabi gave me heart failure every time he was on the ball he was like a rabbit in the headlights every time. Did a good block late on good luck to him but a place on the bench is the best he can hope for from me.
