Lowe

RL: "January comes, you can maybe freshen the group up by getting a couple of players in and a couple of players might go out to play some games. We won't have millions of pounds to spend and will have to be cute and clever with what we try to do - whether it's loans - well it probably will be loans."

"Cute and clever" must be the new "work smarter and harder" - when in fact the club has shown no aptitude for any of these things.

Meanwhile this feels like a retread of setting Riis goalscoring targets last season while he was sat on the bench.

RL: "I've had chats with DJ, Browney and Robbie. Robbie's performances have been fine, got a few assists, can we bring some goals in? I've had chats with DJ and Browney on getting a bit more from them."

TBF, these Johnson and Browne should be the first names on the team sheet and setting the standards every game based salary or pedigree. And quite simply, this season they don’t. Whether a public naming and shaming is the best way to achieve improvement is an interesting one. Hopefully they are stick rather than carrot guys.

Not sure you can expect much more out of Brady in terms of goals when the team is hardly prolific. Pinning some of that blame on him seems a bit odd to say the least.

DJ strolled out a few minutes after kick-off yesterday and then proceeded to stroll about when he got on the pitch (one touch in nine minutes).

Good player, but his race here is run.

I’ll drop him off at Stoke in January on my way home. 🙃

Again, I disagree with the language of strolling which I find loaded and unfair, you'll have to have him in your book in years to come due to his enormous contribution to our football club. I wasn't counting his touches but I'm sure he's being looked after by the manager eh... Robbie Brady is showing us what a rock star he is yesterday eh 🙃

In all seriousness we were particularly awful yesterday but hung in there and managed to nick a late goal. I think we miss djs quality on the ball, I personally doubt based on his years or service that he's downed tools and probably would suggest lowe doesn't fancy him for some reason over him giving up. He'll be off by the looks of things which I'm very sad about as he is absolutely a club legend

Nope, he initiated the press for the final minutes and issued for calm heads to the whole team after we scored what was the winner.

Still technically the best player at the club, experienced, yes inconsistent but that's why he plays for us, he's an icon for a generation of North Ender's, just because he isn't getting picked doesn't mean he doesn't give a fuck.

His race might be run but doesn’t explain why Lowe keeps hanging players the squad out to dry in public. Can’t be doing anything for team morale. I think closer to the mark is the senior players aren’t buying in to him and he’s flexing his muscles.

When he says DJ is a running midfielder and not really a 10 I question his aptitude as a manager.

Again people are putting 2 + 2 together and making 20. He didn’t say that. He said ‘they are either running midfielders or ball playing midfielders.’ Key word there is OR.

He also isn’t hanging anyone out to dry in public. He said he wants more from the more experienced players. That isn’t hanging anyone out to dry. He just wants more goals and assists from them which is pretty much what every fan is saying. Yet if he said they are doing fantastic I am really pleased with them you would question him.

He also said and I quote: ‘maybe it’s me because I haven’t played them in the right places. But they have some unbelievable talent.’ Not really hanging them out to dry that is it?

People now who don’t like Lowe just quote everything he is saying and takes it out of context and then make up some fabricated story because of it even though they don’t have a clue.

We are tenth in the league. Won 4 out of 7 games. We aren’t doing too bad with probably our worst squad at this level. Just a shame we didn’t back him.
 
First of all, I still want RL to succeed at PNE……BUT, I have a few dislikes and he needs to improve in certain areas. There’s no doubt whatsoever that he talks a good game and his heart is in the right place.

The quote, maybe it’s me because I haven’t played them in the right places, is a ridiculous statement to come out with imo. Just play them in the right places then…….sorted.

RL has said, the young players will get their chance if they are good enough. That’s an easy statement to come out with, the difficult bit is implementing it. Several of the young lads have been training with the first team but we’ve only seen glimpses of one or two of them with odd ones coming on for the last couple of minutes. Mikey O’Neil came on for a 10 minute spell in one match and looked the business. He almost scored and should have had at least 1 assist where he put one chance on a plate for Maguire and he fluffed an open goal. we’ve hardly seen/heard anything of O’Neil since then and he’s played the last 2 games in the Youth Team. Like I’ve said, one thing is saying you’ll give these players a chance but actually giving them a chance is completely different. If RL thinks O’Neil doesn’t offer as much as Evans for instance, I think he has a visual problem. Just in comparison, yesterday was Michael Carrick‘s first game as Middlesbrough Manager but he gave a start (and a full 90 minutes) to one of their youth team products Hackney.

The big negative for me with RL though, is his stubbornness to stick rigidly to a 3-5-2 despite not having players that can justify playing that system. I know he changed it yesterday, and maybe he’s learning but he needs to learn about these things a lot quicker if he is to succeed.

Come on Ryan, play the players in their best positions and give the young lads a bit more encouragement by giving them a bit more game time. There have been several games this season where he has brought on the ‘usual subs’ and it hasn’t made one iota of difference. Surely, time is up one a few of the players and the younger lads need to be more involved.

“I have played them in different positions as well, those two have played in 10s and that may not be their position.”

Not my words, the words of your hero.

He can’t help himself. It’s not even something to say in public.

Look you love him it’s plain to see and I hope you are right and he becomes a great north end manager , but from what I can see is that he’s limited and can’t help himself in front of the press and spouts shit.

You can put as many links on here as you like but i know what I see.

You're just scousist ken Kenneth from Connecticut
 
Why people are having a go at Lowe is beyond me when he's been given an unbalanced squad, short on depth. No right back, no right wing back, no target hitting striker, no right sided midfielder/winger, no left sided midfielder/winger.
You name a formation and there are only square pegs to fill certain holes.
