Lowe

Well done to RL for adapting and tweaking his set up and approach in the past week. Many managers won't budge from their ideology despite all the evidence. Getting Fernandez a run of games was always going to help as he has the legs and pace that the WB role requires but the tweak in midfield/and earlier ball have helped the strikers and attacking play. DJ would be much better in this set up. Riis is already demonstrating that when he get the right type of ball he will get goals at this level. He has pace (which is a huge asset) and likes to run onto things.

Yet both of Riis's goals today came from crosses, and him having the smart movement to be in space and take those chances.

Agreed. It's like he's made 3 or 4 big shifts in how he does things and, miraculously, they have all worked a treat. Maguire in, Fernandez in, Brady in at 10, different approach regarding build up and pace of attack. Fair play, let's forget the start of the season as building a foundation.
 
Sick and tired of watching this bum in his fancy coat and Prada shoes put out this crap system every single week. Zero shots on target, at home.

Being dealt a ‘bad hand’ is no different to the managers who preceded him.

With Wilder & Corboran on the market, we need to be ruthless and act now.

It's almost as if we're seeing the same pattern over and over and over again no matter who we place in charge... Maybe it isn't the manager at fault 🤔

we are awful to watch right now but I would be surprised if other managers look at this squad and think “that squad is full of speed, flair and talent - they should be higher than 12th”
 
Lowe’s stubbornness to play 3-5-2 will cost him his job and he needs to find a formation that suits the players he has.

He simply does not have the players to play the system he wants. Storey cannot play as a mobile underlapping centre back, added to that we do not have a right wing back which makes our right hand side completely ineffective.

Ultimately though he’s on a hiding to nothing as he won’t be backed to recruit the players to play his way.

Alex Neil tried to change his style to suit the players he was given and he was eventually sacked.
 
Lowe has to change something because we know this system isn’t fucking working with the players we have.

Zero shots on goal is an absolute embarrassment against a bang average Stoke City side.

However he’s been royally fucked by Hemmings.

Never mind Ridsdale, he’s just the middle man.

Hemmings has to go!!

As much as I agree, Hemmings can't just go. He has to find a buyer. Are they doing enough to find one? Are they even looking?

Agree.

I said on the match day thread this squad isn't good enough, but Lowe should be getting more out of them and doing better than he is.

However, change the manager and the rinse/repeat cycle starts all over again and nothing will change.

Those at the top have no ambitions for the club and are not interested in the Premier League.

I'm really angry that I spent money on a season ticket, even if it was discounted.

Not a chance we are paying Wilder what he would want to manage us. The problem with this club starts in the boardroom. No RWB is rank incompetence.

Neither of them would come here. We won't give them any money. Only managers we could attract under the new Hemmings regime are lower league managers.

Corboran had no money, and a bang average squad, at Huddersfield. Got them to a play off final playing Duane Holmes, Danny Ward, and Jonathan Hogg.
 
The body language of the entire management team on the touch line said it all to me today. RL didn't shout instructions, Marsh was sat on a drinks box and Gallagher didn't leave the seating area. It was so sad to see, where is the passion and willingness to win a home game? Alex Neil was the complete opposite, stood for the whole game and managed his team from the dugout.
 
All frustration needs to be aimed at Ridsdale and the board, its simply not good enough to sit there and not invest in the club just because you don't want to take risks. Lowe is doing a fantastic job but it becomes very limited to what he can achieve with who we have at the moment. I wish January was next month after this week.
 
Ryan - as bad as things are above you, you still have some things to work on with the players and yourself.

1. Bambo Diaby - needs to be taught how to hold a defensive line. He was constantly a couple of yards deeper than everyone else, which became apparent because he played their man onside in the buildup to their first.
2. Alan Browne cannot play as a RWB in the Championship. Potts has to be starting there over him if he is at all able to be on the pitch, and if he's fit for the bench he's fit for the pitch. Do it, please.
3. Ched Evans - please give someone from the youth a go instead of him. He offers nothing positive.
4. Robbie Brady - stop playing him on the right, or giving him a licence to drift over there. Whenever he receives the ball on the right side of central midfield, he physically ignores everything going on behind him, dwells on the ball and it becomes obvious he's trying to shift it onto his "wand". He should be LWB, LW, or not on the pitch at all.
5. Start coaching other formations - not only does the fancy 3-5-2 system you love is look like it's as potent as a pensioner, it looked like no one had ever played 4-3-3 when you switched to it. Something, anything to let us know you also think it's just not working.

You think that this ownership would pay off the remainder of Lowe's contract, then pay these two what they want?

Are you missing the part where the owners are as tight as a nun's muff?
