Ryan Lowe's post-match reaction

[oldage]

Yet again, yet again, Pasoti is full of people trying to twist facts to suit their agenda.

"We were lucky to get promoted last season", "we only got promoted due to covid". Really? And you know that, how? When the music stopped, we were 3rd. What's to say that we wouldn't have gone on to win the league? (I'm not saying that we would have, but how can anyone possibly know that we definitely wouldn't have gone up?!). Its impossible to know what would have happened, but to say that we were staggering over the line and the season stoppage came at just the right time is absolute b*llocks, we had just won two games in a row 3-0, had been on generally good form since November, and were making up ground on promotion rivals, not losing it.

Also, there doesn't have to be an excuse for every bad thing Ryan Lowe has done in his managerial career either. We have stayed up this season but we haven't exactly been brilliant. Yes, he did get Bury relegated. Yes, he did have a ridiculously good Bury team that he got promoted with.

So far, for us, he has been more positive than negative. But next season is the real acid test for Lowe, we need to be pushing towards the top 6, top half at the very least. Fail to do that, and questions will be asked.

Nobody will ever know if we would have been promoted if the season had ended as normal but it is just as much b.ll.cks to say we would have definitely gone up.If my memory serves me right without the last couple of wins we would still be in division 2?

In football many things happen because of fine margins. For example if Porter of Crewe had not missed that open goal than Argyle would have ended up in the playoffs and not got automated promotion at the cut off point. That is how close it was.

There again H C Green, if an Argyle player had not missed an easy chance in one of the drawn games that season, the margin by which promotion was obtained would have been greater. Ifs and buts donot change history.
