Lots of questions and not many answers.
1. What is our system now under Lowe?
2. Why are players not improving under him? In fact progressively getting worse
3. Why does he shoe horn players into not their best positions. Last season it was Cooper at LWB, this season we have Camara at RM now. C Grant best position is LB because of his crossing ability. Like we saw today. Created our goal from a good cross. That was his best moment but otherwise he doesn’t influence play from CM.
4. Where is our creativity under Lowe? Our final pass / cross is woeful.
5. Can he tactically adapt within games? How come he has only changed the course of one game when we have been behind? How come he hasn’t influenced games with his substations?
If you think lm being harsh then think about next season. People are expecting a top 10 push.
We are going to have a completely new team. Will take time for team time to gel. A number of months. It’s not like we just have to add in a few positions. On top of this you have managers with bigger budgets and proven in this league. Adkins of Charlton, Cowley of Portsmouth, Appleton of Lincoln etc...
It’s not like we finishing the season strongly. It’s 2 wins from the last 15. We don’t have a strong, solid base to build from.
Lucky we are good off the pitch. Well run. On the pitch we are currently a shambles.
"People are expecting a top 10 push". Really? Who is? Can you name a couple of them? On the back of what?
There is absolutely nothing at present that could lead any sane person to expect a top 10 push. When we've made a few signings, it's possible that there might be the fuel to stoke such expectations, particularly if we manage to net some competent experienced defenders. Until then, anyone with such expectations is a fantasist.
I'd agree that we are well run off the field, but that, at some point, has to translate to the core activity - winning football matches.
I’d seen it on here. Ask people if finishing 13th and below next season is acceptable. If a mid table position with no threat of promotion or relegation will be acceptable as progress. Personally, l think we need to build a solid platform first. Then add the flair.
I just think fan expectations are we need be looking to threaten the playoffs from what l've read about next season.
