Ryans Post match comments
He’s had nearly 2 years and we have seen the same brand of defensive football except on the odd occasion…what makes u think he will suddenly become a master tactician and outplay our next opponents…we all know he will go to Norwich and defend in the hope someone pulls of something special to nick a goal…it won’t change so let’s get in a new manager asap.
Listen to it instead, he definitely wasn't blaming fans on this occasion.He said what I quote, which reads to me like blaming the fans.
Well last time we went there, we won 3-2 didn't we? Can't have been a very defensive setup that day.He’s had nearly 2 years and we have seen the same brand of defensive football except on the odd occasion…what makes u think he will suddenly become a master tactician and outplay our next opponents…we all know he will go to Norwich and defend in the hope someone pulls of something special to nick a goal…it won’t change so let’s get in a new manager asap.
I wish ...at this rate we are nailed on to go downThere's no danger of relegation with the ability of the team; however the leadership should take a look at their targets for the next few years and be honest if Lowe is the man to deliver for us.!
That's a very good interview ...would he make a good caretaker manager ??The players want him gone. Needs sacking ASAP. The fact Ched Evans takes more accountability than him is worrying.

Bloody hell pal, I was only messing. But fair points.Perhaps you're really asking why don't I agree with you and the perceived majority on here more often?
I get that some fans can't stand RL and were never going to take to him because he's a scouser and they find his persona and character extremely irritating. And TBF he can be irritating. But he's also enthusiastic and bubbly/energetic.
But I just want the manager to succeed, whoever it is, until it becomes blatantly obvious that it's hopeless.
As I've said, I was never fully convinced about Ryan from the start. SOME of his BS and gibberish can be ignored to an extent and give him the benefit of the doubt, especially when we're doing well in the league.
But I've lost so much respect for Ryan over the last few weeks. It started really with the BS he put forward about Mads, (talking about him needing to contribute more) when the stats at the time of goals and assists for Mads in relation to minutes on the pitch were excellent and showed that Lowe was talking complete bollocks.
He also openly criticised Mads on the one hand for not contributing enough, whilst on the other hand he was playing the supposedly experienced pro Brady, who REALLY wasn't contributing, never has contributed and repeatedly lets the manager and his fellow players down.
However, regardless of whether Ryan is the right manager, or whether the fans like him or not as a person, he's still a human being and what I won't do is call him insulting names.
And I will maintain that were unlikely to appoint the 'right' manager next and we will find ourselves in exactly the same position in 36 months or less.
Thank god it’s only Hartlepool, it could have been worse , it could have been Blackpool. 😂😂He wants the brand to be like Liverpool with patient defensive approach play. Unfortunately once we eventually get past the half way line we are more like Hartlepool.

I would love Ryan to succeed. It's still possible. But he's making heavy work of it.
The telling moment for me yesterday was the second goal. He took a right back off and asked Holmes to play there. The body language, to me, looked like he had no idea this was coming.
As Holmes was pointing to himself as he looked over to the bench, asking what was going on, QPR drilled a free kick into the space without a right back. The QPR player crossed to the back stick and they scored.
His master tactical substitution delivered the goal that killed the game.
We don't know what's going on. It looks like the players don't know what's going on. Worryingly, Ryan is increasingly looking like he doesn't know what's going on either.
Sure. I think he can 'lift the group'. But the benefits are short lived if no-one knows what to do or why. As soon as we concede it's over.

Tend to agree.
As long as the wheels are in motion though I suppose a couple more matches won’t matter too much.
Can’t afford to leave it too long though and give the new manager a mountain to climb.

Totally agree.
2 years is long enough to assess the team manager and he’s failed dismally. He’s only taking us one way - fast.
A new manager should be appointed immediately to get the best from the talent we have. Who knows they could even finish top 6.

He didn't blame the fans, don't rewrite it. He actually was very understanding of how the fans are feeling.
However, Ched has at least called out the "fear" stuff, basically saying they're in the wrong job if they can't deal with it
Well Ched might be using warrior language, and I welcome that, the truth is that groans from home supporters simply DO negatively affect a team. Plain and simply true.
A small handful of players might thrive on it. But for the vast majority, it’s just a matter of whether the negative effects are big, middling or small.
jUST ABOUT SUMS IT UP PERFECTLYI would love Ryan to succeed. It's still possible. But he's making heavy work of it.

I’ve heard the atmosphere at Euxton is very low so not sure about the lifting,I would love Ryan to succeed. It's still possible. But he's making heavy work of it.

He’s shown nothing in 2 years to indicate that he is good enough. A ched purple patch last year and a fixture list of all the bottom 6 coming in quick succession and some fortunate wins at the start paper over the widening cracks.
I’ve never been as bored at deepdale. I’ll go on over Christmas just for the drinks but that’s me done going on. I’m not sitting through that anymore.
Yes they’ve got my ST Money for this season but if he’s still here I won’t be next season. I’ll pick my games. Shit fan No. a fan that’s had enough. Yes.
If Craig is considering a change and can afford it best to do it now as it will give any incumbent a chance to assess the team and possible changes [in-out] by the January window.Totally agree.
