RL seems to be clueless when it comes to defenders.
Sorry? Who signed Canavan and Wooton? The two who were most culpable for Rochdale being 3 up inside 30 odd minutes? Wasn't Lowe was it.
We've looked steadier with the Lowe signings at CB, albeit that's not hard.
Sadly he was kind of stuck with those two wasn't he... But he managed to get the best out of them for just over a season.
I think he's just found out they've reached their limit.
Unfortunately in these times it's going to be hard to justify bringing in more central defenders when those two were put on extended contracts by the previous guy. Even after he's gone his legacy lives on eh.
If we can get either of them moved on in January it'd be a result.
I think you need to pick your arguments against Lowe a bit better. You could have a pop at him for not selecting the best centre back pairing. But suggesting the performances of Wooton and Canavan (Adams signings) shows that Lowe can't sign defenders is slightly baffling.
If it wasnât Lowe that didnât release Wootton and Canavan in the retained list this summer but offered them a new contract, who was it?
He's got you there Uptheline! Still doesn't excuse the signings in the first place.
Along with others that Summer. Tafari Moore
:doh: Worst ever right back. Played regularly at start of that season. How's his career going? Did Adams even watch him first. And that left back. Smith something. That's a whole defence of chumps.
My view is that calling any professional player a âchumpâ or other such insulting term is something that is only done by people who have never played the game at any sort of level, and who have no grasp of what it takes to become a professional footballer, or of just how good these people are at what they do.
Of course some of our players are better than others, but none of them are âchumpsâ.
Yes they are. You don't need to be a professional footballer to see that. Moore could not even take a throw in. Canavon cannot even make sure the ball is out of play or play to the whistle.
Donât agree. Are you saying that everyone should consider them âchumpsâ because you see it that way?
