Ryan Lowe

I think this is exactly why he's continued to play it. If he can get 7 or 8 bought into the way it's played now then he'll be hoping with the addition of a couple of proper wing backs, potentially one he knows very well, things might to start to click. Otherwise he'd have a lot of work to do in the summer.

It's a 6/10 for me overall I think.

Bauer, Diaby, Hughes, Lindsay, Storey, Cunningham, Potts, Whiteman, Browne, DJ, McCann, Ledson, Riis, Evans... Will be the group we're left with imo.

I think Earl will go out on loan, the rest gone or whittling down their contracts.
 
This thread is hardly a glowing endorsement of Ryan Lowe’s PNE career to date. That Luton match had certainly given his credibility a bit of a pasting. I get the impression that already a large proportion of the fan base have doubts and wouldn’t be over fussed if he’s potted. Just 3 weeks ago, that wouldn’t have been the case. From the games I’ve seen, all on the telly, the plodding walking, sideways, give the ball away tactics don’t seem to have changed at all from the previous incumbent. A few late goals have papered over some enormous cracks.
 
A quick Twitter search does find some slightly concerning material from Kirchner, although it looks like he’s deleted a lot of the worse stuff.

This Derby fan asked the question at the back end of last year, hopefully our media outlets do the same.

 
I can't really make it out yet. Not sure how we are setting up or what we are hoping to do in games.

Recruitment in the loan market seems good.

The cheering thing in front of the stands after a scabby win is cringy though.

I think the philosophy, the package is all fine and moving us in the right direction as an attacking unit, which is the way we'll get out of the division (hopefully in the right direction rather than the trap door!)

What we're desperately lacking is quality personnel, hopefully a new owner & some strong investment can drive that side of things and then we'll have the know-how and the personnel united in one place.

It was worrying how badly we capitulated in the Luton game, though. You have to wonder if the takeover talk is impacting how settled everyone feels.

I think something had changed by the time we set up at Millwall on February 1st with clearly no intention of trying to attack.

While the January games all had their exciting moments, all the games since then have had long periods of plod - not necessarily Frankie levels of plod, but enough to allow whole halves to pass by without any chances being made.
 
Quite surprised by some of the comments on this thread to be honest. I think he’s made a solid 7+ out of 10 start.

It’s been said countless times but the lack of wing backs to provide width and create chances has been a real sticking point for the Lowe system as shown by the fact he’s used 9 different left wing backs in 18 games. He came in with the club at rock bottom after that loss at Rovers and has lost 3 of 18 games since. It’s obviously not perfect but was anyone expecting it to be with the players at his disposal?

I think there’s more players he doesn’t fancy than many people think. Expecting household changes in summer.

So let's say we appoint Rooney and sack Ryan. After 18 games next season Rooney only has 3 defeats are we going to sack him as well?
You must be reading it wrong if you think a large proportion of the fan base have doubts.

A large proportion of the fan base have said that they would like to see what Ryan can do when he has a summer window with a bit of money to spend to bring in his own players.

I would be annoyed if he was potted as would plenty of others because giving someone half a season isn't really enough to change our fortunes.
 
I’m not saying I want him gone at all, just an impression from reading this thread that his stock seems to have fallen rather sharply in a matter of just a few weeks.

A win at Derby will cement opinion in his favour, a defeat and a Blackpool defeat would change everything.

I think a Blackpool defeat would have slightly more weighting than a Derby defeat.

You posted this on the Kirchner/Takeover thread at 12:04, post #3,971.
Are you going to post this exact post on every thread?
If, according to a Derby fan, Kirchner had deleted all his tweets by October 2021, and he (the poster) was basing his (unsubstantiated) comments on alleged screenshots, on what basis do you have any grounds to say “although it looks like he’s deleted a lot of the worse stuff?”
What worse stuff? A Derby fan puts out a tweeted “question”with no apparent justification or validity and you say “hopefully our media outlets do the same.”
Do what? Libel themselves? Based on a Twitter search! That well known bastion of truth and integrity. 😂
If you have examples of “a lot of the worse stuff” please divulge oli. Otherwise, give it a rest.

If Ryan Lowe’s ‘stock’ has fallen in recent weeks, it says more about the people concerned than the man himself.

Whilst it is true to say the evidence on the pitch does not get near to the promises contained in his rousing arrival speech, the notion of removing him before he has had a proper chance to produce on those promises seems crazy…. but this is the wacky world of professional football!

Excuse me?

In Post # 103, you said you " wouldn’t be over fussed if he’s potted." which indicates you'd like him gone.
 
3/10 home form
6/10 away form
At home he has been at times tactically naive , brizzle, Sheffield utd and reading all 3 could have been a serious thumping, just got a bit lucky.
Bournemouth was a good display but just 2 wins in 3 months
Away has been a mixed bag, WBA good. Luton was really bad, all they did was was press hard in midfield from our goal kicks and we couldn’t cope with it.
His ‘Brand’ of football is only slightly better than the previous incumbent, a bit more exciting, but the home form is still just as bad.

I’ll back him 100%, but in the cold light of day he needs to improve and the squad needs few upgrades with a number of players in the departure lounge.
