Right final window thoughts now North End have confirmed Armstrong is the final signing
For the money we have spent, I think we’ve done very well. Some good frees, invested in a couple of players with resale in Small and Offiah, some very impressive loan signings
We’ve had a good start but once we get to Saturday-Tuesday-Saturday I really fear we will be stretched. We played last Tuesday and had to take off three attackers either due to fitness or injury concerns, and that’s before we’ve got into the really hectic part
Wasn’t able to make it on today but that sounds like an unbelievable team effort. Seven points from those three games is a great return, lovely to see everyone buzzing 🤍
All the preseason concerns on show there. Lack of any kind of control or creativity, our two modes of attack have been long ball to Smith or long diagonal to Small. Only first 45 but on that performance it’s gonna be more of the same, desperately lacking quality
I can at least understand their roles but my concerns are
- Hecky highlighted needing younger players but all three are 27+
- their of minutes recently. across the three, they started just 26 league games last season. Alright squad players, hopefully major quality comes later

Steve Eyre brilliant as usual on Radio Lancs tonight.
Sometimes you think you get too bogged down in North End’s issues, it means so much to us that you can maybe be too emotional.
Eyre has no personal ties to North End but has consistently picked out the same issues we see

#pnefc are in the doom loop of Championship clubs that can’t recruit and sell properly.
Squad is bad so manager plays dull football to survive
Individuals can’t thrive so no transfer fees come in to improve the squad.
Fans get bored
Sack manager
Repeat until relegated
