If Lowe starts tomorrow ...

[Drunk blade]

... Wilder has completely lost it it and there is no point even watching the game... Choose life.. Go for a walk... Do anything but watch our game

 

[FMBlade1]

I know he didn't start for Luton today, but I find it strange how Wilder doesn't view RND ready for the PL but Lowe is

 

[Oreyt]

I'm not convinced it matters who starts....

 

[lepton blade]

Ahh, I see, so it’s Lowe’s fault we’re bottom of the league.

 

[LenTednTony]

I think Lowe has done ok.

 

[dublin 10 blade]

Lowe has played ok in bits and pieces in some games
He did set up a goal as well
, for Chelsea though
I don’t think he makes it in what should be our strongest team Osborn / Stevens down that side

 

[Stegosaurus]

Hello, Stegosaurus here


Lowe-IQ is awful

 

[Gavlar]

He’s one player. He can’t carry the burden of our season on his own.
Though he has been crap, who is actually playing well?

 

[SouthStandGBlock]

It's not his fault we are bottom, as he's only played a handful of games. He's looked awful when he has played though. There's no way he should be starting today, even if he's the only left footed player at the club. He looks completely lost.

 

[ekke287]

Osborn should be in front of Lowe all day for me. Lowe looks like a grower, but not ready for that step up just yet.

I’m not saying he never will be, but at the moment we need solidarity, not players being carried and hand held.

 

[hidesbehindapseudonym]

Some choice to be fair. Piss poor planning etc.

I think we’ve fucked up and not put a recall on the RND deal and it’s now being badged as “we want him to have a full season in the Championship”.

 

[FTPE]

Lowe had a couple of quite games then got better in the last one.
Yes he could have walked but let's not forget that his first booking was his hand glancing a shoulder.

He's growing on me but Osborn keeps that spot until Enda finds his best form again.

 

[iBlade.]

RND isn’t even getting full game time at Luton at the moment. He needs to stay their where he will get far more playing time than he will back here in a very high pressure environment.

Well in the summer RND had never played higher than the 3rd tier. Max Lowe has over 40 championship games and 30 odd Scottish Premiership games under his belt.

Makes no difference on RND, we can't recall until January.

 

[GreasyChipBeattie]

CW recently said in an interview that he was bought for the future and (without publicly destroying him) basically said he wouldn't have been featuring like he has if it hadn't been for the injuries we've had to deal with.
Still, we fans do have a bit of a habit trying to ruin young players Blades careers don't we?

 

[tyke1889]

As Lowe was put up for media duties, I'm guessing he's playing

 

[Snowflake]

Probably not. The media duties have often gone to non starters

 

[FTPE]

Really? Is that a thing?

 

[tyke1889]

I thought it was but Snowflake doesn't agree, he's probably right

 

[AnstonBlade1]

Lowe and Bryan are an awful combination down that side, championship players at best the pair of them.

 

[Chezzy Blades]

Lowe is 23 and Bryan is 24, they’re not exactly ‘young’ in a football sense anymore. They’re both older than Berge, Brewster, Ramsdale and Ampadu.

I see the logic behind signing Bogle for the future as he’s only 20 and on what i’ve seen of him already looks a decent player. Lowe looks to me to be a long way from Premiership or even top end Championship standard and at 23, how much better is he likely to get?

 

[BigBed]

The return of Sharp will win the day!!

 

[originaltrueblade]

If Bryan and Lowe are in expect Southampton to keep going at them as any opposition would, why? Because they are the weakest links

Missed last two games due to an injury. Came on as sub yesterday so he is on the way back to starting games.

Back in the starting line up. Told you he was injured

 

[CarlMcBlade]

What’s happened to Osborn?

 

[Prem owner needed]

Don't temp the manager, he will put Lowe back in to just try and prove a point.

If we hadn't signed him, were there other Premier League teams competing with us for him? I doubt it. If he wasn't here, he'd be at the bottom of the Championship with Derby shipping hatfuls of goals and wouldn't be remotely on the radar.

We've had quite a few "signings for the future" like Lowe, Bogle, Bryan, Heneghan, Thomas, Retsos, Zivkovic yet impact wise, they've all made no impact whatsoever, you can count their number of starts on one hand.

Add these to the likes of Rodwell, Jagielka, Morrison, Foderingham (who hopefully never will play for us), Verrips, there's a sizeable number of players we've signed who haven't remotely pushed the starting team at all and begs the question that if they aren't good enough to start in a Premier League team anymore or never will be good enough, why are they even here?

 

[FriethBlade]

Exactly Badger and everyone says we cant afford the wages of the likes of Watkins...well how much are we paying all these peripheral players who either never play or when they do arent up to it ?

I'll get told we need back up...too right we do but Wilder signed the likes of Robinson as back up and when JOC got injured he didn't want to play him so why is he here at all? Hes blaming rhe lack of a JOC replacement for our problems and it is a big reason but if I was the Prince I'd be asking him why he signed Robinson as he was supposed to be his back up.

All these £3ms here and £4ms there add up as do all the wages. We have wasted a vast sum of money in the last 12 months.
