Crewe Alexandra 19:00 Plymouth Argyle

A bad run is usually at least punctuated here and there by the odd OK performance with a win or draw.  What we're going through is something else.  6 straight league defeats conceding 17 goals and only scoring 3.  Clearly there is VERY serious problems all over the pitch not just in defence.  The manager appears to have no clue whatsoever what to do and there's absolutely no sign of improvement.  I fully expect more of the same against MK Dons on Saturday.  He has to go.  Now.

Easy to lay all the blame at his door but lets not let the plyers get away with murder here. Barr the defence who are shocking and beyond saving key players have under performed in this league like Mayor and Cooper both are meant to be assist kings yet cant serve up a piss in a brewery and Hardie is a waste of time now and im glad we didnt sign him full time. Only Jephcott can hold his head up high everyone else needs to pull their finger out as does ryan and his backroom staff.

john deehan coming in, darren purse on the pitch leading the defence, simon walton's pens and massive stroke of luck kept us up not fletch.

Did John Deehan play for us ?

I think I would persevere with Jephcott and Hardie, get shot of Wooton, bring in Edwards and McCormick.

Rest of the team can only pick itself.

Has Timmy Abrahams disappeared?

Bugger don’t remember that.

It looks as if Lowe's term is nearing the end; his signings have been terrible and he, apparently, absolutely refuses to change his tic-tacs. I am not hopeful for the result at season's end. I posted on "The other site" that Lowe was talking well but I did not believe the end result would be as good as the euphoria suggested. I was criticised and castigated for such an opinion. Well in the words of Nigel Farage - You are not laughing now.

I see reactive comments are rife on ATD tonight.

He did change tactics on Saturday. An ineffective 4-4-2 as opposed to an ineffective 3-5-2.

I think the 3-5-2 was effective, we won the second half, it was the first half which was total bollox from the management and the players

Won the second half lol. That only happened because they were happy to sit on their two goal lead. We didn't win fook all.

All about opinions isn’t it, we scored second half they didn’t, just a pity we were so crap in the first half

We won the second half
Perhaps you wanna start winning the first half
Lowe talks a good game but typical scouser full of bollox

A difficult one for Hallett and the board, unless they take a Sheffield Utd Chris Wilder approach, e.g keep the manager after relegation believing he is the best person to take the club back up.

We know he would get us out of L2 but what would be the point?  As soon as we get back up we'd be in trouble again.

....along with the previous God knows how many consecutive defeats.

Formations aside, if Canavan and Wooton continue at the heart of defence, we’ll be relegated the same as two years ago when the same pair of clowns were at the heart of the defence. Lowe has demonstrated loud and clear that when it comes to defence he is painfully inept. Canavan Wooton and Sawyer all deemed worthy of League 1 contracts !!??

That says all you need to know about about Lowes defensive knowledge.

Not going well in the bragging rights for us is it?
Pompey top of the league, Shitty on fire goal wise, Gulls top of the League (hurrah) and outplayed by Tossdale and the Gas.
