Guest aj_owl Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Good footballing brain, makes good runs off the ball but his conversion rate to chances sometimes lets him down, Not a dig at you personally but this always drives me mad. If he buried everyone then he'd be world class. If he buried half as many he had he would have had 30+ last season. He always looks this way because his runs and work create 3-4 chances more per game than any other striker we had last season. Should have had miles more game time last season than COG and Ranger did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreshOwl Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 he won't be good enough for the championship at 23 let alone 33 there's a reason he's been in the lower leagues all his career, 32 goals for shrewsbury in 171 games when he was in his mid 20's, he wasn't prolific at all in L2 until he went to bury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Grant Holt, he spent the majority of his career in the lower leagues and now is peaking in the Premier League. He played well enough last season to deserve to stay, scored 17 goals when being used sparingly is a bloody good tally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueblood Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 That's odd because Rob Staton tweeted the other day that Dave Jones felt he could be affective at Championship level. I always have my doubts about tweet accounts that include "ITK" in their names. I don't think this kid has ever got anything right and gets slagged off all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I'll say it again, Ryan Lowe will be back at Bury next year. I liked him as a player and thought he could have been used less sparingly last season. He proved that he was good enough to play in a promotion winning league one side and could probably hold his against lower level championship sides. Unfortunately for Ryan, things have moved on for Sheffield Wednesday and we now see ourselves as championship promotion prospects. As BG said, we may have to steel ourselves to the departure of a few more of our favourites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please do not get your hopes up, still ALOT of work to be done before I think that is realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 True, and it was based more on what MM and PA seem to think rather than my opinion However, with the right signings you never know. I certainly wouldn't have made Southampton promotion challengers this time last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 comedy, criticising Lowes goals conversion ratio, whilst suggesting we should look to sign Ranger.. who is hardly prolific himself. Id keep him, think he offers us something different - i would be more unhappy if we signed Ranger than kept Lowe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lesbarbeux Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 He played most of his early career in midfield/wing hence the goals per game ratio. That explains a lot, his movement, guile, obvious football brain. Can't for the life of me understand why he didn't get more of a chance last season. Yes, he missed a few, yes, I wish he were 5 years younger but as was said earlier that movement and obvious desire got him those chances where others may not have. As for his goal tally, we need to take into account that he had injury problems for a while and he played for 80% of the season in a "long ball" team where height was all important! There is no room for sentiment, so sentiment apart he deserves a chance at Championship level, albeit as a squad player, and I believe that he could finish on a high with us in a league where there are a few more footballing sides than the third tier. Being pragmatic, if he didn't succeed then he would still be worth a few bob to a L1 or2 club in the January window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetsheri Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 He's not quick enough. End of. If he stays he will be a squad player. Like his attitude and desire but he aint the player some fans seem to think he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like his attitude and desire but he aint the player some fans seem to think he is. Is anyone suggesting he should start every game? i havent seen it, but he offers us something off the bench, and i think he will score goals in the championship. Every club needs an experienced poacher, thats what Lowe is. For his wages, i doubt we will get anything equivalent for less money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like his attitude and desire but he aint the player some fans seem to think he is. Kevin Phlips, Keith Treacy, even Trevor Francis when he came to us etc. etc. Quick? I think not! Yes it's an asset to be quick off the mark but there's much more to the game than that. Edited June 6, 2012 by lesbarbeux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
