Is Lowe evolving?

Is Lowe evolving?

To be fair I think milkyken makes a good point. Do I think woodburn is a good player? No but booing him when he enters the pitch doesn’t help the situation. His confidence is probably at an all time low and as fans we need to be supportive of the players. Five minute cameo’s doesn’t help him but if Lowe chose to put him on at half time I can guarantee there would have been idiots booing him. I’m

Someone mentions the other day How ledson only starts because he is scouse. People act like he’s a really shit footballer but McCann who hasn’t really looked much better than ledson gets zero abuse or criticism.

People booing players entering or leaving the pitch for giving their all in my eyes is disgusting. Yet the people who do it will then cry when the manager calls them out on it. Which is exactly what happened with Southgate and maguire/Henderson the other week.

McCann is miles better than Ledson.

Woodburn

The new Potts

Mads blazed one over in the first half when should’ve passed, Evans scores an own goal. Nothing said

Imagine if Woodburn had done either of those. I put more trust in people who are with the players full time than people on a forum who aren’t.

I really don’t get or agree with scapegoating players.

Potts should be seen as an example of that.

The thing is though Potts was a reasonably proven player at many levels before signing here. Broke through at Carlisle and did well for them in I think league 1. Then was key getting Lashers promoted. Then did alright for Barnsley when they were struggling at bottom of championship and then key player back in league one.

He achieved all this by age of 24 when he signed here. After a couple of years of ups and downs he's now proven himself in a total new position for last 12 months.

At age of 24 Ben Woodburn is just an eternal championship bench warmer and based on his previous record he's very lucky to have that status given he did little at many loans at Oxford and Lashers and was o.k at mid table Hearts.

He's just a body really in football terms and with the late signings there really isn't a need so can see him being moved on in January.

If he puts a player on the front post and back post on corners like i have said before we would have had three points, not in the FA manual? always the case on playing Sunday league and LA league for 15 years or has the game moved on and not the cool thing to do and just crowd the keeper out with extra players in front of him rather than behind him covering his goal 😱

Yeah that was a bit frustrating but ultimately it would be Woodman's call. Normally player on line would go to back post and keeper covers the near side so in that situation wouldn't have stopped the goal. Also Bazunu came up so putting someone on the post means they have potentially two free players in the box.

It happens, not like defending set plays is some massive problem with this group.

Good point but I'm trying to be fair H.... My biggest beef is not on this thread , it's that he doesn't seem to recognise how Mads can be utilised....

Wednesday was a vast improvement. Lets just wait and see if he can recognise why.

I know that you are telling me off and I've no problem with that. And no I haven't decided he's not talking bollocks, he's not the second coming and yes I still have serious doubts. But if we are to stiff him for shit performances then we should also applaud the decent ones. Even if it might have been an accident.

Time will tell .Ask me again at Christmas.

PS.... I suspect you'll be correct. 😉

You’ve misunderstood my post. Down to my poor education in English! The you was meaning as a supporter generally not you personally. What I was trying to get at was thinking yeah let’s give him credit for a good performance on Weds and then he opens his big gob again and spoils it all by saying he was going to Woodburn over 2 strikers but changed his mind lol

I'm quite good at that. And your education was fine, you just weren't listening. We certainly agree on one thing H... He should keep his gob shut. 🙂

He is yes. I would suggest it's you who needs glasses if he 'does whats Ledson gets stick for.'

How many skips, waving arms in the air when something goes wrong or pulling shorts up though?

He's now regressing again

He's one of these managers that just likes to play for 0-0s up to half time away from home against vast majority of opposition in this league. Sometimes it will work like at Stoke. Other times like today it seemingly won't.

No excuse to be continually negative at Deepdale with starting 11s after the Southampton game though. I want to see constant starting teams with back 4 for rest of the season at home.
