Lowe

Sums it up for the blinkered North end fans that can't see the wood for the trees. RL isn't to blame. No real investment means we'll lose to better teams. THAT sums it up.

I think Lowe deserves criticism for the subs and he's not blameless, however any realist knows where the real problems are and who deserves the most lambasting.
 
Next game I would play Bauer and Diaby up front and just batter the Sunderland defence. In all seriousness we haven't got a decent striker at the club. Emil has scored 5 in his last 28 appearances and doesn't look to have any confidence at the moment, Parrot tries but is far off this level (imo), and Maguire and Evans are league 1 at best.
 
People will say Lowe wasn't backed, fair enough. But Lowe did say a week or so before the deadline that he was happy with the squad. He did say goals will come from the players we have. He is badly wrong there.

I thought we played well first half, bar Riis and Parrott. And it took a silly mistake to concede.

2nd half was a no show, again! And the manager is fully to blame. McCann and Fernandez were 2 of our better performers today. Yet he subbed them off as he refuses to change formation, even when losing.

I also noticed that he walked down the tunnel before injury time instead of watching until the end.

I'm starting to think he's all mouth and out of depth. If it hadn't have been for the signing of Archer and the points his goals won us last season, we would have been poor under Lowe last season.

Not great subs but once again it’s this pathetic over the top reaction from idiotic fans.

The manager isn’t the main issue. Lowe, Neil and Frankie were shit on by the board and ridsdale. They are getting away with it yet again. Wish they would just fuck off!

We were playing well, on top in the game and looking far more like scoring than conceding. He makes a triple substitution (you don’t have to use them you know Ryan), takes off Riis before Parrott who was absolutely fucking atrocious again today, Alvaro off and McCann off.

Literally took the only pace we have out of the side. Why not take Potts off and put Brady on the right like he normally does? Why not bring Parrott off? Why not bring Maguire on before the fucking useless Evans?

Baffling substitutions that absolutely killed our chance of getting anything out of a game that for 70 minutes we fully deserved something from.
 


After 10 Games, Maybe he should start doing his job.
"maybe I need to instil a bit more belief in to the lads and that ruthless edge, because we don’t have that at the moment if truth be told.”

Anyone thinking Lowe isn't part of the Problem. This is Pre-season crap, not 10 games in. ffs

Fancy that - a decent striker to win us points. I forgot what one of them is.

Of course he’s going to say that. Alex Neil said the same in his first season when his only signings were mavidi and fisher then we lost hugil and brought in Louis moult. Three seasons later he got pissed off and wanted out.

The same will happen with Lowe then we bring new manager in and repeat. This will continue forever until the Hemmings leaves and fans will slate the manager over them because it’s what ridsdale and the owners want. And some fans are stupid enough to believe it.

Granted the substitutions were poor but in games now I don’t want him to make any because the bench is that dreadful. Well done Craig and Peter!

The guy is all mouth. He’s not the messiah a lot of people think he is. Two goals in open play up to now is poor.

He will take us down if he doesn’t play to players strengths.

Which are?

What’s potts strengths?

Whats the strikers strengths?

With the shit squad we have maybe you need to look more at Peter and Craig.
 
He’s still got players fluffing their lines in front of goal. The first half was more than decent. We bossed it and that we didn’t take chances is not Lowes fault.

The substitutions were stupid, desperate maybe.

If I was him I’d have taken Parrott off and put Brady up top with Riis and no one would have complained one bit.

Or he could have gone wild and gone to four at the back.

Lowe needs to become more flexible but he’s not lost me yet. He’s just playing with a half arsed hand.

He’s mentioned instilling belief in his forwards since the season began. He talks complete bollocks.

We play a 5 man midfield and your agenda is making you ignore that fact. Neither Potts nor Brady are fullbacks. They never will be.

It's not a 5 man midfield it's 5 defenders and a deep lying midfielder so 6 defenders in essence hence the scintillating football 3 goals in 10 games 🤷🏼‍♂️ and I'm the one with an agenda haha ffs

Have you seen the past few games. Brady has been shocking on the right. He’s more left footed than DJ. It’s not lowe’s fault we refused to bring in a right wing back.

Riis has played 90 minutes past two games and offered fuck all. Same as Parrott who got taken off in both games. Both could have come off. They were both shocking.

Maguire/evans are both fucking useless.

I mean he could have made any subs and fans would have slated him. The shit bench isn’t his fault. And until fans start realising this and seeing where the problems really lie it will never stop.

Sack manager - don’t spend- repeat
Sack manager - don’t spend - repeat.

Same happened with Neil as well.

The club is a complete fuck up at the minute and is ran badly at the top. And you know what I hope lowe goes just for his own sanity. And then fans can actually see the real Issues.
 
Ryan Lowe is and isn't to blame in my opinion. Obviously the board has spent absolutely no money at all this summer and recruitment has been abhorrent for most of the time spent under the control of the Hemmings but we have enough quality in the squad to be scoring more than 3 goals in 10 games. Is it his man management? Maybe, Riis has seemingly gone off a cliff in terms of scoring but he is also getting limited chances. Lowe sticks rigidly to his system when obviously we do not have the type of players in this squad to play his system to its optimal level. So I'm afraid that if he does not make any changes to his system, even if it's temporary, he will be getting the sack because our clean sheet rhythm seems to have been broken now and we cannot score for the life of us so I can only see us going one way in the table and quickly.

Yeah. You are. You're just ignoring the positions the players play in because you don't like the formation. Brady, Whiteman and Potts are all midfielders. Get over it.

I’m not being funny but you’re that far up Lowes arse is embarrassing.

If you think today, Tuesday night, Birmingham was acceptable then you are deluded.

You’ve actually proved my point. Potts strengths aren’t as a wingback.

Riis can’t hold a ball up.

Johnson is shit as a number 8

McCann is a box to box midfielder

Whitemsm is far better further forward.

Mark’s my words he better buck up and stop spouting the shit before it comes toxic.
