ScottishRed Posted July 20, 2020 Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 5 hours ago, ollywhyte said: Exactly. I remember reading he wowed the Argyle chairman with his presentation when he landed that job. If people want exciting, attacking football with a specific style that’s exactly what you will be getting. He also has the advantage of being young, hungry and successful (two promotions in his two full seasons as a manager). A really likeable bloke who is passionate, honest and fiery yet tactically aware in line with modern football. Also, pure speculation here, but I’m quite certain would buy into the club ethos and work alongside Mark Ashton. Only one issue for our fans, he’s the ‘cheap’ option so is automatically crap and will do shit Please god no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portland Bill Posted July 20, 2020 Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 5 hours ago, Phileas Fogg said: Would be very surprised if it's Lowe as Head Coach. Just doesn't feel quite right. He's exactly the sort of manager we'd go for if we got relegated into L1. Putting 2+2 together, I wonder if he could be no.2 if it's Gerrard. Apparently they're friendly. Would mean having to pay two lots of compensation so probably unlikely, but it's the only feasible way I could see him being involved right now. Would explain the odds moving too - simply from people being aware we're speaking to him, just for a different role. I can’t see a manager who has got two promotions in his first two years of managing, giving it up and becoming a number two at Bristol City, perhaps it’s just me.

Magicdaps Posted July 20, 2020 Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 I don't pretend to be ITK whatsoever but I've been told this evening by a mate that Lowe is apparently due to be interviewed this week along with two others. FWIW he's a trustworthy guy generally speaking who wouldn't be on the wind up so I don't believe it to be BS. It could of course be wrong but that's different to intentional BS. Take it or leave it. I offer no guarantees and can't be bothered to defend myself or get into an argument when it's inevitably challenged or dismissed. I have no agenda other than the passing on of a rumour from a mate that I happen to believe could well be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted July 20, 2020 Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 Something I worked up earlier, this is data for the last 4 seasons in the championship looking at challenge intensity (how many defensive actions - defensive duels, loose ball duels, interceptions, tackles - a team is doing per minute of opponent ball possession) and passes per defensive action when out of possession. Neil's includes the time at Norwich and PNE they're a lot more intense with regards to out of possession play then we have been and usually allow less opposition passes per defensive action as well. For reference Bielsa's Leeds are the 2 very top left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is 3/4 aren’t low they’re very high in comparison, just Alex Neil’s sides are that bit more intense, however this seasons city are the lowest for ours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems an absolute age ago now, when I genuinely thought we had a plan and a new man ready to get started.

I wouldn't worry about it, people get a bit funny about posters sharing bits and pieces they hear for some weird reason. They should know by now to take it or leave it, if they want to be sceptical then that's fine but no reason to be so scornful towards a poster who has no history of posting BS.
