Maybe if we'd all met Steve Kean we'd feel differently. I told you you wouldn't get it.

Which is even more ironic because it was an overpromotion and wages that we gave him - a monster of our own creation! Even worse still, he is one of the key reasons for taking us to his level and then he leaves. In fact, if you look up the word ironic in the dictionary, there'll be a picture of millionaire Jason Lowe grinning back at you. Is our fall into L1 Venky's fault? Nope. Anderson? Nah Maybe Coyle? No way. Who then? Jason Lowe. And people who are mean to Connor. You should take this stuff on tour.

And people who are mean to Connor. You should take this stuff on tour. I'll attempt to not respond in kind. Venkys selected managers and approved players. Those managers and players were not good enough. One particular player has been an ever-present (hence 'key') throughout Venkys time here and epitomises their poor judgement. He is also proven to be a @#/? footballer. Mahoney has been a bit part player with flashes of quality who still has the potential to improve. Which bit do you need me to explain in more detail?
had.e.nuff Posted June 11, 2017 Posted June 11, 2017 Don`t think there will be any signings this week as looking at the pitch last night they will have to buy a lot of grass seed this week

I don't have your opinion. I've watched as many games as you and I've forged my own. I never met him or Connor, but I have my own judgements. One thing is for sure. Replacing Lowe will be more difficult than replacing Connor, since he couldn't even get into the starting lineup in front of train track Feeney.

"Neanderthal" I wouldn't go that far "Biz". I think your becoming a bit melodramatic if anything. I don't think your opinion has been shared at all and to suggest as such leads me to think you suffer from delusions of grandeur, merely it's a case of we've had how many managers since BSA, 7? Bar Gary Bowyer how many have had an opportunity and transfer windows to significantly upgrade the squad or change it someway? I denote it was actually Steve Kean what gave his debut anyways. He was rubbish, okay he had an engine,but the lad couldn't pass water. Nor could he accurately tackle well, how many goals scored for a box to box midfielder half the time? Couldn't shoot, Couldn't head a ball. A captain who couldn't lead. Guthrie when fit was twice the player. He was nothing short of awful and a waste of wages we could ill afford.

Is this compared to Evans, Akpan et al? JL is a decent passer just not a creative one. If you look at his impact under TM, he was our main midfielder for breaking play up and giving the ball to Guthrie etc. Ok he had an engine? That's not a minor pro- it's a massive thing. Energy and attitude are prerequisites of all footballers I admit, but you seldom get them! If we'd had others with a similar level of input, we'd hardly be in this position. For example, Emnes. There is no doubt that Marvin is a better player but he went missing so often, you can't afford those sort of players in a scrap! The fact you even mention goals says it all. Lad was never going to be an attacking player, despite Kean the moron playing him on the wing. He had decent technique but not the mindset for that. His versatility (played 2/3 positions) will be missed if we cannot invest. I implore you to show some scope, the very same thing that I feel separates opinions on players.

What about that lad from Morecambe? Bit of a journeyman, granted, and not blessed with much pace, but he's strong, tall, imposing, an all-weather type and has good footwork to boot - and people would be more than happy to be on the bench with him in front of them.

Absolutely disagree as ever on Lowe Biz. He didn't get in people's faces and break up play. He didn't 'win the ball back and give it to others'. His passing was poor. Not just creative passing but simple balls to his teammates were often under hit or off target making the receiving player work to receive the ball. Evans and Guthrie could clearly pass better and they aren't exactly,Tugay. As for decent technique, come on. His touch was poor as was his control. Was it Bristol City away we conceded because he couldn't trap a hoofed clearance once? Plenty of goals we conceded featured J Lo either switching off or not closing down. He has been an ever present in our decline when anybody else with a molecule of skill or value has left. Let's see where he ends up but I bet he doesn't play 30+ games for a Championship side ever again. Good riddance.

Look over the other side of Pendle hill if you want to see something that is, always was and always will be the very definition of small time.

It's naïve very naïve to do that and expect to prosper in this league without complimenting it with some experienced and physically mature players being brought in as well.
