    Mads Frokjaer

    Mads cannot be expected to weave magic without the ball or without support. When McCann or Browne or Ledson or Whiteman - or even better a combination of them win the ball and get it to him, I believe that he's a cracking Championship player. The partnership of a Rookie (however promising he...

    Matchday Thread Birmingham v PNE 01/04/24 - KO:3PM - Championship

    We're a better team than last season. We've got a better squad than last season. If a fit Browne and a fit Potts had played today, we would have won. Vital that we hold on to our better players- particularly Millar and Riis, and move on some of the deadwood- Cunningham (sorry), Woodburn, Evans...

    CONFIRMED Liam Millar signs on loan.

    Thought he battled really well out of position last night. He is a winger, PNE play with wingbacks who have defensive and offensive roles, Millar plays aggressively in both roles but sometimes tries to do the attackers' tricks in a defensive situation, dribbling instead of passing. Best of all...

    Ben Woodburn

    Is he as near as we have to a "Utlity Player", so able to slot in anywhere?

    CONFIRMED Confirmed Hughes gets his one year extension

    He's our best attacking defender, great and dangerous at bringing the ball forward, and he mixes it in both penalty areas, but his very brittleness is eroding his confidence and he is too often second-to-the-ball. Good Northender but limited, and fortunate to get this extension- but I really...

    Would you rather us lose today?

    Never ever want North End to lose.

    Matchday Thread Sunderland v PNE - 1/1/24 - KO:12:30pm - Championship

    We have a Championship squad, markedly stronger than the last two seasons with a few ambitious signings. Sadly the Manager seems unable to create a balanced team, and even the quality layers are reduced to mundane horizontal passes, often to static recipients. Responsibility must be that of the...

    Matchday Thread PNE v QPR - 1/12/23 - KO: 8PM - Championship

    North End have a limited number of players who belong in the top half of the Championship - Woodman, Whiteman, Browne, McCann, Hughes, Osmajic and Potts; the rest are skilled journeymen, able to contribute to a team performance but lacking the ability to change Championship games individually...

    Matchday Thread Hull City v PNE - 28/10/23 - KO:3PM - Championship

    Mr Lowe deservedly got a good press for creative management on Wednesday- he has not become totally incompetent in 72 hours. For an away game, Ledson, despite his self-evident flaws, is a better plan than Mads at present. Mads is gifted but is often periferal during a game. Good to try 4 at the...

    Matchday Thread PNE v Millwall - 21/10/23 - KO:12:30PM - Championship

    Simple; 1. Browne for Ledson, 2. Hughes for Cunningham. 3. LB Millar at home, Best away (in a 4) and Brady if absolutely nobody else is available)

    CONFIRMED Liam Millar signs on loan.

    The new Mark Patterson- GREAT!

    Summer 2023 : Transfer Window Rumours and Discussion

    Disappointed but at least we haven't spent several years of our transfer budget on one single player. The next 48 hours is a real test of North End's scouting system. The succesful start to this season teaches us that there are ready-made bargains to have had- clearly Keane and Holmes want to...

    Summer 2023 : Transfer Window Rumours and Discussion

    Sunderland fans reckon today's result will increase their club to up-the anti in getting Cannon themselves. With Roberts and Clarke creating havoc on both wings, an effective striker can turn their season round, and Cannon is the best available. More bidding wars?

    CONFIRMED Robbie Brady signs New 2 Year Contract.

    Now that he's "safe" for two more seasons- what is his motivation? Very good player but as the season wore on, he seemed to lose his heart for the battle.
