Lowe is used to these circumstances, managed Bury when they was in poo and got them to win league. Good attacking manager, ex Wednesday. Give him a shot I say 

Lowe has had quite a bit of stick at Plymouth this season for his rigid 3-5-2 and tactical inflexibility. I don’t think he’s the man to sort it, but if he gets the job I’ll back him. Especially if he brings Luke Jephcott with him!

Rubbish. 

We collapsed in every respect as I pointed out throughout the last 10 games.

less shots

less possession

less clean sheets 

less goals

less chances 

less wins

 

and crucially a lot less points per game than monk got this season with same players.

 

we completely collapsed under Pulis.

Every statistic you can find will show it's true

Let's not rewrite history it was a mess created by Monk ( or someone else if you know different  ).

TP wasn't clearing it up yet but he's been here 10 games  ! . And was sacked for addressing the problem .

How about the 2nd half of last season. 

Before he assembled the world beating squad we have now. 

It was dire and should have got him the sack.

Pulis was worse than Monk in every single statistic there is

 

Why do you think just saying 'nope' will change that?

 

lol

 

It's like arguing against the sky being blue

Of course it was down to results.

 

Monk was sacked after 12 points from 11 games.

 

the draw vs Blackburn was the match that meant Pulis could not beat that record .

 

Pulis failed horribly on the pitch .

 

advice to next manager - get more than 12 points in your first 11 games 

 

Zero to do with results and more to do with Chancer unable to deliver promised January signings from what I hear.

 

He also couldn't handle Pullis standing up to him.

It's grey and white in Ecclesfield at the moment.

Managers are to a large extent as good as their players.

 

This side is even worse than that of Stuart Gray, because at least he had Wickham.

 

Three years ago we had 7 forwards at the club, and one out on loan; what do we have now?

 

Tone's strategy was correct, and with a forward added to the team we'd probably have just about survived.

 

He was the last available dinosaur, and with him gone we're done for.

 

The progressives won't keep this team up, not a snowball's chance in hell, because it's not good enough to be in this division.

 

You need quality players to win games with their philosophy.

 

It's the hoofers, spoilers, and timewasters who beat the drop with a shower like ours.

 

We're going down to the Third because that's where we deserve to be.

 

Only Pulis could have cheated the hangman, but he's cleared his desk.

His "strategy" was to jam as many centre backs onto the pitch in any position as possible and hope for the best.

I thought TP would have improved us and kept us up with a few playing additions . I thought GM would have taken us down. 

We'll never know now. But we do know that as a consequence of hiring a well established football manager then sacking him after 10 games we are seen as a complete basket case throughout the football world. 

Thanks again DC.

Definitely 


Agreed on that score 

 

Hated Pulisball style football though 

 

It wasn’t for me 


And I don’t believe anyone who tells me it was for them either

 

Not one bit

 

Not really

I didn't like it either. But the 2nd half of last season with all the spineless collapses was the worst I've seen utterly embarrassing.

I have always said I will support the manager but Pulis did so little to justify that support, he is best saved for pithy comments on talkSPORT 2 for the rest of his career .

Me too, chansiri has made some reyt howlers..but this isn't one of em.

 

The faux outrage is really really beguiling.

He addressed the problem by winning 10 percent of his matches.

bit like me addressing the problem of my house being on fire by throwing some petrol on it.

No he addressed the problem by telling the owner what needed doing , who then sacked him for it. 

I'll leave you to your celebrations.
