Lowe interview.

Lowe interview.

"The team have to believe they can go anywhere in this division and win - don't have any fear against anybody, play on the front foot, be aggressive, trust your defenders and get the balls through to the strikers. If we can add the right players at the top end of the pitch in the summer, we'll be a threat to every team."
Tony Mowbray speaking after drawing at Burnley last night slightly different than Lowe thinks we should play .😰 the owners need to read this as well .👍

and to think of all the fans crying out for us to appoint TM when he was leaving Ewood...another great missed opportunity 🤣
 
Mowbray is pretty interesting isn't he really, dower as can be in the media, no idead behind the camera what he's like but he's done really quite well with Sunderland there's no doubt about it and pretty positive football by the sounds of it?

Still deeply dislike the championship personally from an entertainment perspective, loads of tattooed up mediocre footballers making a killing and not giving a toss, regurgitation of the same people popping up at different clubs. Like these ooc player threads, personally wouldn't want any of the champ fodder no one else wants cause many will have all the wrong attitudes we don't really need, hunger and humility is n ingredient we desperately need so need to looks lower down or elsewhere for our future players imo.

Didnt know how many posts but interesting, but as I said rarely do i mention argyle directly.
You will not find anywhere I have slagged Lowe off. I said there are things I didn't like about him but that's just me. Its his persona and i accept it was what Argyle needed when he was appointed after Derek Adams. Lowe and Schumacher are like chalk and cheese in personalities maybe thats why they were good together. I did say that the success of Lowe and Schumacher isn't down to either of them but down to the teams in the background, which makes any manager coming in a decent chance to make a success of things. As for Lowe yes I do think he has done better than I was expecting hence me being on here to follow how he is doing. Just before he left we lost heavily against Wycombe where ainsworth totally outthrought him tactically, considered in the championship he would come up against better managers and would struggle. As for him moving no I never had any amnoyance any person who can work nearer to home on higher wages would of done the same. Schumacher on this weeks efl blog says about him leaving and how hard it was for him to travel and see family.
In my mind I make comparisons between the clubs. Don't know how much money is in the background of argyle but betting its not a percentage that's in your background. Can't understand why when they are successful buisiness people they haven't diversified your club to build a Regular income 24/7. Consider all smaller clubs need to do it

As a matter of interest did Lowe talk a load of old bollocks in interviews when he was with you too?

I think I must have missed the calls for Mowbray - but what's wrong with what he said? Play on the front foot, put teams under pressure, be aggressive. Sounds reasonable enough.

The same Mowbray who managed to match Burnley and become the first team to stop them scoring

Our current manager set us up in a way that let their goalie spend most of the game out of his box

You mean like after losing to your nearest opposition (exeter) saying they were just another team and another match. It didn't go down well. I really think though he says things through his own eyes and its his dissapointment that causes it without thinking of what others will think about what he says.

Rarely say anything about Argyle on here? You've got 40 posts this year 😆

Sounds like you've got good support from your council - something we don't really receive. You're still paying £11 million towards the academy, which isn't a small sum for a (current) League 1 club.

What I don't like is how your fans come one this forum having a pop at Lowe. Whether you like it or not, Lowe played a large part in the set-up that got you promoted from League 2 and getting you up there in League 1 before he left. But the Plymouth fans who come on here would have us believe it was all Schumacher and nothing to do with Lowe - something that's music to the ears of any of our fans who haven't taken to Lowe either and they lap it up and kiss your arse.

Personally I think Lowe is doing alright, given the restraints he is working under. The football has been mostly insipid at home, but you can see flashes of what he wants to do. Plus Lowe's only been our manager for 14-15 months. It will take a good while for him to get players in that he wants/needs, especially with the budget he's got to work with. He has also had some bad long term injuries to deal with, all seemingly with our strikers (Evans, Parrott, now Riis).

I really do believe some folk don't like Lowe just because he's a scouser. He gets very little (if any) credit when we do well and gets hammered when we lose. And now every interview/comment he makes is analysed and picked apart to the nth degree.

Anyway, he deserves a proper chance so I will give him until the end of the 2023/2024 season.

Spot on this. Clearly decent manager at this level that’s got us around about the same level in the league than previous managers who get lauded on here by some. Is he a tactical genius? No. Does he spout shit at times? Yes. Does he know how to get the players motivated? Yes. Is he a good fit for a club like ours? I would say so. Yes. He’s also been dealt one of the worst budgets any previous managers have had and still has us top end of table. The nit picking of every interview he does is getting embarrassing now. He has turned it around in good fashion and fully deserves a break from the negativity imho.

He’s getting a break because there hasn’t been any jeering for a while. So yes a good indicator.

Still not convinced though. Jury is still out.

We’ll probably no more in summer based on what we are allowed to sign!!!

No the same Mowbray whose Sunderland side got hammered 5-1 off a poor stoke side and who lost to both Rothertham and Coventry.

Sunderland have a much bigger fan base and a bigger budget than us yet are below us in the table. Yet people are acting like he’s god. But weird that.

Nothing is wrong with what he said but he isn’t really backing it up.

In the last eight games Sunderland have t scored more than one goal in any of them. But in fact since the new year Sunderland have scored two or more in a league game twice. Three against shocking QPR and two against Middlesbrough.
