Is Lowe evolving?

Is Lowe evolving?

Tbf he sent Frokjaer to sit back down after we scored the 2nd goal. I thought he was actually quite slow to make changes tonight, they were overrunning us after about 5 minutes. Thankfully we got through to half time but I’d have had Whatmough off after about 20 minutes and put Lindsay in the middle where he belongs.

Lindsay has one position where he is comfortable and dominant, he can control and cover from that position, and that's the central defender in a three.
If like Tuesday when he is requested to play on the left hand side,he is like a fish out of water, his lack of pace and poor positioning weakened our defence, it's not the 1st time this has happened when RL has played him there ? 🤔
 
Anywhere else & he's adequate at best, & as the middle one of 3 or 5 he's fine I'd never move him but when needs must & it's 4 at the
back , RL has to find out which is his best side is, I suppose.
And when an opposing striker is going across one of PNE's defenders with often a pair of strikers , the ball can often run to the other striker going in the other direction, wrong-footing our defenders . Any central defender has to be paired with the correct-other-
( footed ) player, working as a partnership, - just like a pair of successful strikers have to be. Players who have one foot as good as t'other are at a premium, we know.
RL & his staff have to know who works best with each other, in any given situation . A hell of a generalisation, granted. It's knowledge & application.
 
Todays result says a lot he didn’t have a clue. Why at 2 nil down would u bring Brady on. Should have replaced McCann with Keane to play 2 up front…whiteman for Ledson and Mads for Holmes. RL himself said midweek osmajic needs a player to run off so why not play him with Keane.

Just remind me. Where are we in the league? I must be dreaming so put me right, please!

We did go 2 up top, with Millar...
 
We setup the same way week in week out sit back soak up pressure and try to hit teams on the break…works against some reasons teams but for teams it doesn’t work against ie teams comfortable on the ball and keeping possession how do we play against them there is no plan b…we have the players now who can get the ball forward and keep the ball he sticks to the same system a system which can’t get the best out of Mads and osmajic…yes we are 3rd in the league but I believe with the players we have we can perform better if we setup correctly.
 
First loss of the season and now we are being told the Razzler should have this squad higher than 3rd in the league. I’ve heard it all now.

I don’t like Ryan. I think he’s a bit of a cock. But he’s proved me and many others wrong so far this season. This result doesn’t really change that, as horrendous as it was. He got a lot wrong today from the very start, and it got worse as the game went on. But that’s football.

Go back to supping your room temperature can of carling and stop being so reactionary.

He did get the setup wrong today and the subs, but the main problems today were the players themselves, saw some individual performances today from players which were probably some of the worst we’ve seen from them. Personally don’t think we’ll see many performances as bad as that all season.
 
I have praised Ryan many times this season as he seems to have been much more pragmatic but he got it badly wrong today.

Hopefully it is a one off and we can bounce back quickly.

Two very tough away trips coming up.
 
Just a thought for anyone who's feeling down. Two teams saw their unbeaten run come to an end today, us and...🤔
 
Lowe has to take a lot of the blame for yesterday but when every player in white performs at 3/10 we will come unstuck.

When we get beat though we have a bad knack of it being a stuffing
