Josh Low

[DanTheFoxBhoy]

Low is, as I've said before, a poor man's Scowcroft.

How many of his fans can give one example of how he has improved the team?

He's woefully slow, cannot cross a ball and his finishing is of park standard, as was shown AGAIN on Saturday.

Not one of our better signings. In fact he may do for Rob Kelly what Joe Hamill did for Levein!

Width and attacking elements, simple. If anything he's the only one who can cross the ball. It seems people are forgetting what he has given the team in light of the poor performance on Saturday. He's also not afraid to get up front which is what we need. How many times has one of his headers come deadly close to landing the ball in the top of the net? He along with Kenton are definitely the better value signings.

Josh Low is an absolute waste of space. He is no way near good enough to play at Championship level. I want him gone with likes of Andy Johnson, Tiatto, Douglas, Sylla, Porter, Elvis, O'Grady, Hughes, and even McCarthy all them are effing useless players.

I've seen some awful players over the years at Leicester but this crop are the biggest bunch no hopers with absolute no talent whatsoever, I actually feel embarrassed watching these players try and play football.

Kelly out and take your bag of with you!

If those 11 players left we wouldn't even have enough to make up the bench.

Andy Johnson-Josh Low

Can somebody tell me how much we paid for them again!

Peanuts/Monkeys you know the rest

Not that JL has played as bad as MF is making out at least he's trying.

Unlike AJ who's very fvcking trying!

[gatesheadfox]

I'd argue that Fryatt is performing worst of the front three

couldn't agree more, and i can't imagine how much grief COG would have got if he had missed that easy chance that fryatt got first half. that one was definately harder to miss, instead he gets applauded for winning us a corner!

as for low, he isn't the most gifted of players but i would still play him right wing as he is the only player willing to play for us that can actually fit that peg

If, as is possibly the case, Gradel is still not ready then we have a problem because Low is not effective enough.

My solution right now would be to adapt amore fluid system and play Hammond on the right. Hammond has pace and strength, qualities we need right now and, because, unlike Hughes, he has to be marked, he has the effectof making more space for others.

He is positive, direct and can shoot well whn he relaxes.Our 4-4-2 with Hammond would easily become 4-3-3 or 3-4-3 and would retain the covering aspects Kelly is so concerned about because Hammond is one of the few players who has stamina to match Hughes and at a generally more urgent pace.

He's not elegant but he also contests the ball better and can get by people particularly if there's some room around him. Leicester have played some of their best football when Hammond's been in the team including Sheffield United at home last season (4-2), and of courseIpswich this season (3-1) .

Yes it might be less than perfect. But it is positive and it would be an improvement on the options, especially with Stearman around to back him up and to take advantage of his pace.

I'd probably agree with all of that.

We had the same midfield performance throughout the match Sat and COG was doing more with it.

Though it's still painful to see the Hume / Fryatt thing not working anymore cos they're getting fewer balls sent their way.

Can't dribble, can't hit a barn door most of the time, can't pass, can't cross.

Sorry but this bit's great.

To be honest, as much as I think he is one of the least gifted footballers we have ever possessed, we need some pace, urgency and attacking tendency in our side and Hammond is second in this list behind Hume. I'd find a place for him on the bench.

[Dr The Singh]

I have to agree, Hammond has never been convincing in any role!!!

[Thracian]

Frank Large was exactly like that. And he became something of a legend at the time because his sheer enthusiasm and endeavour rubbed off on others. I know you won't but trust me Manwell.

One Hammond is worth any number of Hughes' right now.

I'd rather any one of Josh Low, Max Gradel, James Wesolowski, Alan Maybury, or even the enigma himself Mohammed Sylla at right wing than that talentless muppit. you go from bad to worse .

At least you didn't mention Hughes.

Low=no effect.

Gradel = not the right time

Weso = no way does he leave midfield

Maybury = even you cannot be serious.

Hughes is annoying me, and I'm starting to wonder where the promising youngster who made over 100 starts for Rangers has gone.

Agreed we are then. Sylla it is.

[bald reynard]

I agree with most of what you are saying.

Low cannot play on the right wing, He is disgracefull. I dont agree about Porter, O'Grady and mccarthy.

Fully agree with you - I think Porter, O'Grady and McCarthy are/will be OK (not least because of their age/potential) - as for Masterfox's other names, I'm with him !

Forgot to say earlier.

Whats happened here? The doc prescribed some sensible pills or something?

Do you not think Low, despite his age, is going to take a while to get used to football at this level. Muzzy once said it took him 6 months to adapt to the Premiership.

Part of our problem, in my opinion, is that our entire approach to this season was outrageously conservative. Gudjonsson was a box-to-box player and one of our biggest attacking threats at times and we replaced him with an outright defensive midfielder, which we already had in Tiatto. You can do that, but then you need attacking wingers, as opposed to Tiatto and Maybury, which is what we started with. Look at our last promotion side - Davidson was a dynamic ball-winner in the middle, Muzzy backed up the strikers and we had two attacking wingers in Stewart and Scowcroft. If you want to play O´Grady for his strength, why not have him in the old Scowcroft role?

The signs were there pre-season, we couldn´t come close to scoring in the first two games and we´ve never really recovered. As a result of that policy Hume was dropped, Porter was hurried into the side and a lot depended on the likes of Josh Low. As for our old left-sided problem, no attempt was made to sign an attacking left-winger, Kelly settled for Tiatto who is never going to be a regular first choice.

The team picks itself. Hume and Fryatt are, after all, the only two players at the club who have ever combined well to score goals consistently in our recent history. O´Grady can play the old Benjamin-Scowcroft role out wide (remember our last promotion?). Porter´s done fine. Hughes has struggled due to immobility of Johnson and may well improve after a few weeks next to Weso, who he was partnered with for most of pre-season. As for defence, if we want to keep Stearman Kelly needs to play him.

Kelly made some big mistakes preparing for this season, but it doesn´t mean he won´t become an excellent manager. We´re building a team here, but if we want goals and if we want to build a side, it´s going to take a few risks and a bit of persistence. And as for Josh Low? Go easy on him. I´d worry more about whether Mssrs Kenton and Johnson are going to become to Kelly what De Vries and Maybury were to Levein.

Some good points but Kenton has performed better than Stearman this season. I'd play both though.

Hammond = Cannot control a ball, takes him too much tiem, let alone cross one!!!!

You mean McKinley right?

As for playing O'Grady in the 'Scowcroft'-role, that's a bit of a useless idea! As far as I gather, the balls are being lumped up to Low already anyway, and I don't see what convinces you O'Grady would do a better job than Low out on the wing. And I do seem to remember people getting pretty worked up about Scowcroft playing on the wing in the first place.

We've actually had loads of suggestions now on these boards on who should play in that right wing spot: O'Grady, Hughes, Low, Hammond, Hume, Gradel and we've tried Stearman, Maybury and Sylla there too. There's hardly anyone left we CAN mention! It just shows that no matter which option we choose in our current situation, it will always be an inadequate one.
