Was Lowe a lot closer to being right than we give him credit for?
trousers replied to trousers's topic in The Saints
Perhaps he just took the concept a few steps too far? As someone pointed out on another thread, 10 out of the 11 that started yesterday were in the first squad of the season..... -
Well, if ITV can't be arsed to show it then the OS should now put up a clip pronto.

The utter madness of the Poortvliet experiment

I posted this on another thread but perhaps more relevant to this one: _______________________________________________________________ I've suspected for several months now that van der Waals somehow convinced Lowe to take "two for the price of one" (Dutch coaches) when Lowe was probably happy to go with his 'original' plan of Wotte at the helm. If true, just begs the questions: What did Waals say, or do, to convince Lowe to take on JP as well as Wotte? and Why did the club keep Waals' role under wraps until he was 'uncovered' on here? Perhaps Lowe's "original" plan was a relatively sound idea, but he somehow got convinced by 'others' that it should be expanded....given Lowe isn't a football man at heart he may have been hoodwinked by other supposedly more knowledgable 'advisors'...? The irony being that Lowe could actually be the victim in all this....?! -

At last...perhaps one of my hair brained conspiracy theories will actually come true....?!

Who knows?

Ironically perhaps, the biggest vote of no confidence towards Lowe now would be for us to attend the remaining games in our droves as it sends out the message that we prefer this back-to-basics football than the 'experiment' that it took him so long to admit defeat on.

If you're watching OS, get a Kelvin Davis "hand of God" save article up there pronto, along with a link to a video clip of it (sod it if ITV have publishing rights to it until tomorrow. Need to see it again now!!! We'll have a whip around for any fine imposed due to broadcasting infringements!)

So, Ipswich on Tuesday.... Select a winning starting line-up for third game on the trot or bring in a one or two fresh legs? My gut feel is to start with the same 11 again. Thoughts?
-
Hmmmm.... +1

Agree. I thought Lallana in particular had an influential game. Am surprised to see some (relatively) low marks for him from a few people.
-
Indeed. Hair on back of neck moment for me.

Just got back. One word: Passion Difficult to pick out a man-of-the-match as all players gave 100% effort but worthy of special mention are: Kelvin (two wonder saves to preserve our lead); Lallana (superb in midfield and was unlucky not to score with a sweet curving shot in first half); Euell (where has this man been all season? Superb peformance) and Saga (exudes class) My MOTM goes to Saga - he does so much more than score. This result only goes to highlight the folly in sticking with a flawed strategy for 2/3rds of the season. Wotte looks like being a good manager for us which begs the question why (a) he never spoke up before he took over and (b) why we didn't change before Christmas when it was obvious the 'experiment' wasn't working. Anyway, back to the here and now.....superb today. Keep it up and we'll be safe.

And not forgetting the 'Hungarian Connection'....which of course we'll all know a lot more about once Torbay Saint's mate has emerged from SaintLee's attic (so to speak)
-
Yes, we know. It's just that we find it more amusing to let him think we don't know that we know who he is.
-
Nope. Doesn't work for me. I'm still getting guillemots.

I predict the same result that I put on the other duplicate prediction thread: http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=10579
