Lowe

Lowe

Don't get me wrong, those substitutions where met with as much anger by me than anyone. It was utterly baffling and I'm not having it that Fernandez had a knock and Ali was 'knackered'.

McCann looks like a player who could run all day, I think he is making excuses there for a shocking decision.

First half we played very, very well. We just needed something to drop for us, get the goal and I believe we go on and win the game. So we're not a million miles off and I think its premature to want Lowe out.

The problem is, because of that absolutely abysmal transfer window, when things go wrong and we go a goal or two down, we have literally fuck all to bring on as a plan B. I felt like crying ending the game with a front two of Evans and Maguire.

Today ended up shit but the problems run far deeper. I can't remember the last time I was so worried about the future of our club.

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.

Brave. You’ll have the ‘but he puts himself about’ gang on you now.

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.

First sentence. It's just dejavous. Neil and Grayson used to say same. In the end Neil gave up. Lowe ain't guna cone out and stag the owner is he. He's just showing face

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.

We really don't though.

When we had Archer, we did. But not any more.

And while we've been sticking with what we've got and just adding a couple of "these'll do" trialists and a couple of "ho-hum" loans, other teams have been strengthening properly, including their defences.

We've stood still, and we know what happens in the Championship when you do that.

Well, the same formation, poor substitutions, no change of personnel or fresh ideas, garbage set pieces, NO GOALS, and a lack of effort in the side. That's down to the manager.

What game did you watch? We were all over them first half and unlucky to concede. Same formations and poor subs are all he has given to work with! That’s down to the owners and advisor.

Wouldn’t even say stood still, this team is worse then last years. Moved backwards in my opinion.
 
Grayson, Neil and hell, even Frankie, were backed more than Lowe. He’s been given a bum deal.

That doesn’t mean that he’s beyond criticism though. I wasn’t there today but sounds like he went for a Hail Mary that didn’t come off.

More widely? I don’t expect any serious money to be spent in January. The cloth is being cut big time (appears decision was made sometime in early August) and we’re on our way to becoming self sufficient (or at least with a very significantly less external financial input). Where will this see us end up? I think we all know, it’s just a matter of how soon.

At present I’d rate our chances of survival this season at 50:50. And falling.
 
I didn’t agree with the substitutions today and i do think the wrong personnel came off , however Lowe had to try something to get us back into the game …

I was told a week ago that the real reason there was suddenly no money available is because the Hemmings suddenly decided not to sanction anything in retaliation at Lowe because he refused to allow the sale of Riis …

This indicates to me that they were relying on selling him to the highest bidder to line their own pockets again!!

They’re the problem here, their lack of foresight and ambition will see us in League One.

Can anyone itk - if there is such a thing anymore confirm of this is true ?

Absolutely fucking disgusting substitutions. All 3 of them were wrong and completely killed us. Deserved reaction and he needs to fucking get a grip.

Riis was absolutely fucking awful today.
His first touch is embarrassing.
Not saying Parrott was much better but Riis was the right one to go.
The other two subs I totally agree with you.

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

Delusional
 
Today Ryan Lowe showed for me...he is clearly not up to the task. his refusal to adapt a system to suit the players he has available coupled with what looks nothing other than pig headedness to accept his system is a failure. he can moan all he wants about right wing back...we had opportunities to sign players but would afford them the assurancves we had to give to spurs that Parrot starts every game if fit!.
Today his baffling selection and then the joke of a substitution was disgraceful. Alan Browne and Whiteman today were shocking and should have been hooked off at half time. Fernandez was the only attaching outlet on the pitch and McCann...well Not what he's done to piss of Lowe but it almost looks personal. He either changes his system and wins the next few games or come the end of October he's not improved things he has to be removed from his job...its that simple. I dont think he has it in him...LEAGUE 1 at Best

Pretty sure that if they’d wanted to sell Riis they would have done. They are the owners after all.

One thing that is true however is that the Hemmings have not made a penny out of owning PNE. You can ping a lot of criticism their way, but not that.

his job is to work with what he has and also to improve them...he isn't capable of that, its also his job to find a workable system for the players he has...not to blindly refuse to change his system....when clearly its not working
 
The subs felt like someone randomly shuffling the pack in the hope that something would magically happen.

Lowe picks his starting line up based on an unswerving commitment to a system that must not change. Then, when we need a goal, anyone with a pulse can have a run out.
