'I broke a promise to him' - Preston North End manager on switching formation for the first time in win over Middlesbrough
He said: “I apologised to Alan Browne, I broke a promise to him. I said I'd never change change formation I'd just change personnel, that was at Fulham away last year."I'm not gullible enough to think that I can keep playing 3-5-2. Other teams are doing their homework on you now, they're stopping our 8s and stopping wing backs getting high, they're pushing us back.
"I just felt let's go at it, what's the worst that could happen? A lot of our lads have played that formation before and it let us get another body up the pitch which we wanted to do.Although it is a rarity for Lowe to have switched things up, it could continue.He said: “I had a few sleepless nights on it. I watched loads of football in 4-3-3. I've played 4-4-2 before and 4-2-3-1 before in my early career.
"We've said we'll find solutions to win games of football and if it's a 4-3-3 or 3-5-2, whatever it may be, as long as the lads buy into it and we find ways to win we'll continue to do it.”
