Do we go all out now to get the 11 points we need to get to 50 and then give the youth players a chance, or do we give some of the youth a chance now hoping the toxic atmosphere at deepdale doesn't knock the confidence.

Should be the other way round, the toxic club asking how things will pan out for the rest of the season regarding the fan base !
Dream on Wabi Sabi ... no chance of escaping the current nightmare called PNEI am just hoping that the hierarchy has been busy lining up ducks behind the scenes:
1. Lowe has already been served notice but will carry on until the end of the season in order to reduce our costs to pay him off.
2. The riddler has been told to ‘retire’ at the end of the season (I.e. jump before your pushed.
3. Lowe is under instructions to start giving our young players more game time for the remainder of this season.
4. A new, exiting manager has been lined up for next season.
5. A decent transfer budget has been agreed for next season.
6. An exciting, experienced and accomplished director of football will be appointed for next season.
7. A commercial manager will be appointed and tasked to bring the catering and merchandise activities in house as well as developing new income streams such as concerts and events at Deepdale.
It’s probably (or definitely) all just a pipe dream but I am grasping at straws here and my patience with the club is hanging by a thread!
Correct but just won't happen. They really don't care and are happy with their own lot.Should be the other way round, the toxic club asking how things will pan out for the rest of the season regarding the fan base !
NO they won't listen and don't give a stuff about what the fans want as long as they are comfortable.Are they really interested in listening to their customers, or are they more likely to tell them this is good as it gets be thankful it could be worse.

Sweepstake on how many of those are given to youth prospects?
Not backing Lowe with more expensive signings when neither promotion nor relegation are likely outcomes is fine, but we MUST use the time remaining to be better prepared for next season. For me that includes the obvious giving of minutes to breakthrough prospects (Seary, FRG, Mawene, Stewart, Nelson) alongside trying out new systems/formations.
If the powers that be are truly writing off the season, then the next 6 months becomes the longest pre-season ever ahead of the 2024/25 season.
Failure to have a plan and just whittling the time away would be even more criminal that the current (apparent) malaise the club is in.
