Railway sleeper":2mdwt7ml said:Ryan Lowe has done extremely well at Argyle, and fulfilled his brief of getting us promoted out of league 2.....
But I think we are all coming to realise ( even perhaps Ryan himself) that Ryan has some lessons which he still needs to learn.....
Ryan could leave Argyle this summer as a success- and there are possibly several clubs that would be delighted to have a manager of Ryan’s calibrate to guide them out of league 2 next season...,
What some people are are now suspecting is that Argyle will be involved in a relegation struggle next season if Ryan stays ( even with many new players)......
relegation back to league 2 next year would be a TOTAL disaster ( and to be quite honest, we were very lucky to get away with it this season)....
What we need is an experienced manager who would be likely to get us into the play- offs at least, could sort our appalling defence out, and put some discipline and spirit back into the side ......

Of course, we would all have loved more and our early season form showed great promise, but teams that steam roll their way up through the leagues are rare (and often trickle their way back down the leagues just as quickly).
There is no doubt that we have hit a bad patch of form and that is disappointing but not entirely unexpected when you step up a level. What I like is that that manager is clearly hurting, searching for answers, learning from the experience and planning for next season.
Back him. Back the individuals at the club. Support your team. And be grateful that we are not Swindon or Northampton.
The manager is clearly hurting and so he should be. He told us a few games ago that he would not allow the players to give up but see what has happened. Lowe is clueless and I doubt very much that he has what it takes to lead us forward. We are very fortunate to have escaped relegation this year as our form for the last third of the season has been abysmal with no sign of improvement. The fans deserve better.Semper Viridis":ws05970u said:I never cease to be astounded by the average fan on here.

It's this thought process which has led to 100 years of mediocrity!
