Although I don't agree, from a percentage win rate perspective McAvoy is ahead. 😬
Lowe
On what basis? Alex Neil literally just left Sunderland because he wasn't being backed in the transfer market.
Spot on Ando yes investment was required, we needed 2, probably 3 players minimum before the window closed and as we know we got none.
Supposed money we had available, remember. Mr Ridsdale statement about matching any other Championship clubs offer for Archer if he became available on loan, money stayed in the Bank of Craig.
So RL has what he's got, he picks the team, decides the formation and the tactics, he makes the substitutions.
We have players capable of achieving more than the present mediocrity we are seeing at present, the lack of goals is a big problem and RL needs to find away of addressing this quickly.
There will be no incoming before January,, so sort it out RL, 3 months to turn things around, otherwise CHs might be forced to put his hand in his pocket to stave off a relegation dog fight and you might have been sent a brown envelope with your P45 in it by PR as a Christmas present. 🙄🤔

Which is rubbish btw. He’s had more backing this window than half of the league. Stoke just offered him more wages and a gig closer to home

They did because they weren't really troubled. It's easy for the opposition to defend against us. We will be very hard to break down every game the way we are set up, my point is that it just won't lead to goals. When we signed Lowe were we promised the most defensive manager in our recent history? In every single way, that's we have ended up with.
Everyone clinging to this idea that 'the goals will start to come' isn't looking properly at this system. It's got 0-0 written over every game barring errors from either side/something miraculous. That's not how you set up to win games if you are a decent manager.

We are going to have to agree to disagree on this. we didn’t trouble the dingles but they couldn’t beat us either! That does not make us easy to play against. I do not blame Ryan Lowe for any part of the squad we have got (or more specifically NOT got). I recall one of our best seasons in this league with Billy Davies when we couldn’t buy a win at home from August until October. Now I’m not saying this is the same here but the lack of strikers is not Ryan Lowe’s fault not even slightly.

That’s what I think RL let Riis no he wanted him out by not playing him .
This with Riis is at RL door .
I think not getting a experienced is RL fault also .
It’s to easy to blame Hemmings & Ridsdale.
What did you want RL to do, pay for a striker himself? It’s the only way he was getting one.

I clocked that after I said it 😂😂 At least Lowe didn’t say he’d not been backed at Plymouth though

And for that he shouldn't get near our starting 11. I'm sure there's not only me noticed he walks more than he runs eyes looking to the floor.

We’re easy not to lose to and teams are quickly learning that with a bit of patience they can expect to score one as the game wears on. And thats all theyre likely to need.
I spotted that a few times against Burnley.. I even commented on it to the person sat next to me.

Maybe hes got extremely shiny rounded boots.
Yeah, but they probably didn't hear you. After telling them the hat trick story before kick off they will have shoved anything they could find into their ears to silence the pain.
That’s an odd one… they won at Middlesbrough midweek.

One tap in would have sufficed.
