Is Lowe evolving?

Rangers be as big and good a job as Lowe could ask for you'd say. Celtic in transition as well means there's probably scope.

A Prem team struggling could come in around Christmas but you could find yourself in a yo-yo situation and while budget at say Palace or Bournemouth would dwarf Rangers, I think you're less likely down the road to get a big job unless you do something special.

But as mentioned I don't think another Gerrard shadow that's doing well early doors in the championship would appeal all that much. Though there's no obvious candidate from the betting.

but yeah while our position is great at the moment and us edging games and a team of solid organised pros could well get us promotion. I'm not at the Moyes, Davies early Neill feel where there were players in those teams i wouldn't have changed for anyone else in the league and felt confident every game near enough.

I may be totally wrong, but I just can't see a Premier League team, or even the likes of Rangers coming in for Lowe.

Yeah I hear you. While he's media friendly and he's seemingly improving each team he's been at.

if a clubs looking for a promising young manager at the top end of the championship you'd imagine Ipswich is the first place they'd go
 
Really think some folk need to be realistic, calm down and think about where we are as a club right now.

Yeah it was absolutely amazing being top of the league, but we all knew it wouldn't last. The play offs would be an achievement for us as a club this season.

It's frustrating seeing a club like Ipswich overtake us. But they've been building for several seasons to get to where they are now - it hasn't just happened all of a sudden.

It's obvious we still need more quality (and especially pace) in the squad. It will take more time, especially with our transfer budget.

We need to be patient (yes that word again), don't panic and keep building.

Will put my tin hat on now...
 
Will wait another 5 games before coming back to this thread. By all accounts the WBA game was horrendous but our last 2 have been against 2 sides who will piss it this season and we all expected to get beat.
 
McKenna shows for me the difference. A good manager gets the best out of average players. An average manager produces wildly inconsistent results with average players

Lowe is nowhere near as good as he nor his fans think. He’s just a midtable championship manager. No tactical nouse who is hit and miss with his team setups and substitutions

Whilst missing key defenders Ryan has made some very questionable decisions.

Brady is a prime example....I don't get it.

He talks about game plans but when you are conceeding so many poor goals, you have to wonder what is going on.

We had a great start and it was brilliant to enjoy watching us again but the last couple of weeks have brought us down to bump with a bang.

Still in a fantastic position but we need a massive reset.

Can Ryan do that?

Not so sure - two weeks to sort it.
 
Before the season started and we had a good transfer window, it looked like we might be in a relegation battle. Now it looks like we should have enough for mid table (again) but a run of three heavy defeats has shown we still lack quality. What we need is a run of several good transfer windows, which progressively improve the squad each time. Whilst we're (hopefully) working on that, there's only so much RL can do in terms of consistency of performances. That's not to excuse him for results like 0-4 at home but I think we do need to take the rough with the smooth to a certain extent.

TBF McKenna is a good manager getting results out of good players. Ipswich have a much better squad than we do.
