Lowe

Lowe

Been a defender of Lowe especially with what he has at his disposal, however outdone by Rowett tactical masterclass.

2-2 all Preston, he brings on Malone, changes shape, completely nullfies our attack, 2 more goals and we had no reply.

Only thing Lowe needs to improve on is, is his in game management, dont think his subs have done anything in any game but again you could say what does he have at his disposal to change things.

Fucking sick of Rowett tbh
 
Despite all the frustrations (and some of them are justified) going into the break after nearly half a season outside top 6 on GD is a very very good effort with the resources he has available.

When he gets 1.7m to spend on a forward like Rowett did a few months ago then I'll hammer him more for results like this but they always come with an aesterik.

Today though is a warning to those at the top (if they actually care). To expect the defence to grind out clean sheets or just one goal conceded game after game isn't realistic. Neithert is Ched continuing to score 3 goals every 3 games.

Lowe is doing his very best but he badly needs help in January. He dosen't get it and season fizzles out into 12-16th range just like some of the AN seasons did and then the protests really will start off the pitch...

Rowett has his flaws but he's been managing at this level since November 2014 for four different clubs. Lowe is very green in aspects compared to him and second half showed that.

Would've liked Alvaro on at half time with the momentum from getting it back to 2-2. If Lowe had the game again I'd like to think he'd have done that.

Yeah. Tactically he can’t change anything in game. Defence all at sea from the off today too.

Lowe is very much a one trick pony but he is severely hindered by his forward options.

I hammer him a lot, sometimes to wind people up and sometimes out of frustration. But he is doing a decent job. That said, his limitations are so frustrating, and more annoyingly, obvious.

What’s most annoying is their change was then settling for a point too. Their third goal was fucking awful.

Ledson slow to the 50/50 as usual, Brady done by the ball in the channel, then one simple cut back taking out all three of our CBs. Storey got sat down at the back stick.

The best way to get at us is be direct, win second balls and try and get behind us. Like Millwall did today.
 
Bigger picture here. You’d have taken this league position at the start of the season all day long. Lest we forget Ryan is in his first job at this level and still learning his trade. He needs backing.

The fact Lindsay had an absolute nightmare didn't help either.

Don't disagree necessarily but Millwall changed formation and it won them the game, that is something that can be looked at.

Yep fair enough.

I just think it was the 2 really really poor goals that we conceded in the 2nd half that cost us rather than anything RL did or didn't do.
 
Thought he failed to react to Millwall's tactical switch - they brought Malone on to keep Potts quiet who was getting plenty of joy down the right. The three most creative players in our squad are left footers so it seemed an easy switch to make to switch our attacking focus to the left flank - but he failed to make a change until it was too late.
That said the game was lost through missed chance - Evans (otherwise superb today) being the most culpable.
