troon_villan Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Unless Lowton's got an injury or something's happened behind the scenes it's a joke that he didn't make the squad. One of our only players who looks like making something happen. And from right back. Fair play to Bacuna who's been brillant lately but Lowton's got to be starting for me. Maybe wide right instead of Weimann. Or at the front of a middle 3 with Delph and KEA behind. I think he's capable of playing there. Matt...short for Matthew?

Cizzler Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Well his brothers back on twitter. Seems like Matty has just been dropped due to poor form... Bit surprised he didn't even make the bench at the weekend though. You'd have thought he'd be ahead of Herd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was really promising last season, hate to see him slip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luna may still be carrying an injury so Bennett cover for him, and Baker on the bench also. Just didn't need 3 defenders on the bench. Nothing more to it than that.

We've got to get used to a manager that is comfortable changing the team and the bench depending on the game and circumstances. Lowton will get his chance and will know he needs to make the most of it when he does. He'll be all the stronger for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At his best he offers so much going forward. Some of the balls into the box were out of this world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 (edited) I have mixed feelings on him, like quite a few of our players. however, I do feel comfortable that they do always give there all.... which in itself is satisfying. when i hear comments like "they did their best"....I never have any doubts about that. ps ..one of the reasons I can now accept dropped points much better than pre Lambert.

Richard Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I'd like to see Lowton restored and Bacuna in midfield at some point 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SikhInTrinity Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Not in the next two games but I'd like to see this restored possibly West Ham onwards. Bacuna will add a lot to our midfield in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted October 8, 2013 Moderator Share Posted October 8, 2013 I'm confident Lowton will come back better than ever too. His little hiatus will have pumped him up not to get dropped again. Looking forward to it. I'm not sure how you shoe-horn Bacuna into the midfield though as it means dropping some fairly undroppable players.

One of KEA or Westood to be dropped, to allow a midfielder who will actually try and get into the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 KEA seems to be the only one who gets anywhere near the box though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isa Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 He made a couple of runs into the box vs Norwich too which weren't picked up. I'm not trying to argue KEA offers much offensively but probably more then anybody else in our midfield at this moment in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delph made a few runs into their box, so to say he offers more than the others is a bit far fetched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 I too agree that lowton will be back at some point and will benefit from bing dropped. I could see Bacuna playing wide right in a 442, or as the right forward in 433. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
