Lowe

Odd quote from Lowe in the LEP this morning. Did he start to criticise the players and then stop himself?

"He said: “We have players that we've got because they're under contract and they're good enough, to what level I don't know because, you know, can they go again? Are they better than what we've got?

"We've got a good squad of players that can compete with each other but at the end of the day, whoever was in the backline those chances and goals would have still happened potentially."

Ryan Lowe was disappointed with the way Preston North End conceded the second goal in their 2-0 defeat to Stoke City that all but ended the game.

Talking gibberish!
 
I’ve read that twice and not sure what he’s saying ,

Are my players better than what we’ve got?

Nope still don’t get it 🫣
 
I think Lowe has had a big shock coming to North End and the championship.
Its much harder to get players in the championship that are cheap and on low wages than he thought. With comments like ‘we’re not signing any dickheads’, suggests he was a little stirred during the last transfer window. I think he thought he could easily ship a good few out and replace them, with better players, without many problems.
Id guess that there is still money left unspent in the transfer pot, but a lot of our targets turned us down and all that was left were players he didn’t fancy.
Come the next window, he is going to have to seriously drop his standards to get players in. Trouble is, it will be like other windows where we buy ‘also rans’.
The enthusiasm he had for in summer seems to be waining by the day.
 
Lowe, Mike Marsh and Gally were all forwards or midfielders, yet our players in those positions have been poor whilst the defence had been rock solid until the last few games. This is puzzling me about our coaching.

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.

Surely this is a joke?

'Fantastic job' - we've just had 0 shots on target at home and we've scored 8 goals all season in the league. Turgid stuff at times.

I admit Lowe hasn't been backed and the lack of a wing back/striker is completely negligent on PR/CH's behalf but to say Lowe is doing a fantastic job is crazy talk.

We went 1-0 down on Saturday and he sat on his hands. He didn't get up at all and watching him compared to AN is like chalk and cheese. Even when Stoke were 2 up, AN was demanding and shouting instructions across to his team. I'm absolutely not AN's biggest fan (the way he downed tools at the end of his tenure here was a joke) but he's 10 times the manager than that Prada wearing fist bumping gobshite is we have now.

I honestly hope Lowe comes good and sacking another manager because of Ridsdale's/Hemmings incompetence isn't the way to go (even though PR would love that for his ego) but he needs to show he's a good coach because in the last 12 months, I've seen barely any improvement in any of our players at all.

He hung his players out to dry after the game. Saying Stoke had better players. Our captain thinks the squad is good enough for top 2

This is unraveling badly.

I'm sure it's just a coincidence that we've recently restored 8-shots-on-target-per-season Maguire to the starting lineup as a "striker"
 
I think some people have rose tinted specs on when it comes to Neil. You are forgetting just how tedious he was towards the end. We all know lost interest.

Now history looks to be repeating itself.

If I was the owner of a football club who hires, on the face of it, competent managers. Indeed, many (if not all) show flickers of potential in fits and starts. But then, time and time again, it all fizzles out. I'd be properly curious why it keeps on happening to my club.

(I know the answer BTW. We all do. I'm just bewildered why the owners don't.)

But archer did score in our current set up. I don’t really get your point. You say lowe’s record is bad without archer. Well conte’s record would be pretty bad without harry kane and son.

If you take your best sources of goals away you are going to struggle. Now I’m not saying we had a chance to get archer. But we have literally no one who can get on the ball and take people on. People wonder why our play is so slow. We must have the slowest squad in the league.

Someone like Robinson - not a natural scorer but at least he would excite fans. Name me one player in this team who can get the ball and run at players. I’ll start…. No one.

Fernandez and Riis.

Do you really believe we have good enough players in the striking department and for RWB?

How would you, for instance, use Riis, Parrott, Evans and Maguire 'correctly' to form a productive strike force?

I just didn't understand Lowe saying we aren't just going to take some loanee for the sake of it ?? He took Parrot who will just become a journeyman like many before him, there are plenty of decent loan players out there just take a punt on the best of them, we can't score simple as !

I see Parrott as a younger Cresswell. He'd have been a superb foil for a real goal poacher this season. Like the guy "we'd match any deal for..."

I do wonder whether Gray actually chose Aris over us, and if Christie was actually being a "dickhead" by stalling... OR if the truth is the rug got pulled by Grovemoor and we all got played by the owners....?

Lowe has a 41% win rate over his managerial career which means he loses well over half of his matches, this equates to wrong end of the table 🙄😒🤔

Or Ridsdale had blown all the budget on a goalie, but didn't have the heart to tell Lowe as he kept lining up all these players we could never afford.
