[scally]

Sports rehab is my bet

Ron!

 

[northend nevets]

Ron!

Nah Ron will be out today then flip flop back to in tomorrow when he feels like being argumentative

The Wendy and the Leicester fan probably.

Ron will likely set up arguments as Idi Amin today and then argue with the responses tomorrow...

You couldn’t ask for a better time to sack him. 12 days before the next league game and a free hit cup game to assess your players in a matchday setting for the new manager

 

[Tugg Speedman]

We are probably safe this season but if we are to keep our better players and sign better players they need to see that they will have a chance of furthering their career. That is the problem going forward if no changes are made.

That's the problem going forward even if changes are made.

 

[JAYMAC]

On that viewing it looks like they are not playing for Lowe.
Could he be the reason Browne hasn't signed.

 

[Mighty Whites]

4 wins in 19 (i saw someone post) demonstrates sustained failure

I dont like people losing jobs, but at this rate we will go down

Thus, its time to change

Nathan Jones or time to go outside of the UK and roll the dice!

Now 3 votes to stay, that’s Lowe, his cleaner and Woodburn

 

[Mooney]

He lost me at Burnley last season when he set up to lose by as few goals as possible. DJ not in the squad was a red line for me, so yeah, Lowe out. Clueless, full of nonsense and cannot get the best out of a decent set of players.

Fair point

Precisely.

We’re also mid-table as expected and haven’t *yet* been dragged into trouble. It’s a no brainer. Let someone else build on that now rather than later.

Not disputing that we need a change of manager.

I get that the players are probably fed up, but it doesn't reflect well on them when they can't even be arsed putting in a decent performance to secure their place in the cup game v Chelsea.

If any potential managers are watching our players to see what they will have to work with, they won't be impressed.

 

[Bodney Rewes]

Been having a discussion with my dad who makes the valid point that sacking Lowe will just reset "the North End cycle" - sack manager, form improves for maybe 12 months, form drops off, rinse and repeat because the backing is never enough. I think there's a lot of truth to it.

This is why I'd sack Ridsdale too. I don't trust him to appoint someone who can operate within our restrictions and actually push us into challenging for the playoffs. Plus I don't trust him to do enough to improve the club's income to allow us to spend more. The guy operates like it's the 1990s. If we keep him too, he'll just appoint another manager who won't take us anywhere other than midtable

 

[King Sav]

Get Nathan Jones in

In any case, its now TIME

PNE

Not convinced. Screams another Bulls**t Merchant. We’ve just got one of them already

 

[Henry Weston]

Woodburn has voted out because he refused to bring him on today…….

 

[Mitsuya]

Now 3 votes to stay, that’s Lowe, his cleaner and Woodburn

The camera panned to an increasingly pissed off Woodburn and Best throughout the game.

I know it's been a joke on here for a while that Lowe only brings on Woodburn because he's his mate but I wouldn't be surprised if even they've fallen out

 

[Naughton's moustache]

I've been in the Lowe out camp pretty much since day 1 as he wouldn't have been my choice at the time, but with our defence I don't think any manager will succeed here.

Lindsay, Storey, Hughes must be the worst central defence in the division in terms of ability and performance. When they are sandwiched by 2 wingbacks that are both traditionally forward players we have no chance. We were crying out for us to attack, but we saw that the second the defence are exposed we are in trouble. Woodman has lost his confidence, but it's hardly surprising when he's being protected by the margarine man and chocolate teapot.

Until we have some decent defenders, we'll never be able to attack and so we need to focus all our efforts in improving that back line this month. Fail to do that and I really am worried for our championship status.

Look how he sets his midfield up though Michael.
Even with good defenders, it would cause us problems

 

[Shytot]

Sometimes you have to give managers time to get teams playing the way they want, changing managers on a regular basis doesn't work, look at Watford, however Lowe has had ample time to put his mark on the team with his players and it is not working, we are slow and ponderous in attack and open to counter attacks, lack of chances created is a major worry.

I did think his appointment was a good one at the time but his insistence on the brand and our attacking game is delusional, I've been in the Lowe out camp for a while even before our good run at the start of the season, he needs to go and for me Ridsdale can go with him.
