Brumstopdogs Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I always am happier when I see Lowton at right back rather than Bacuna. I think he is a bit better defensively than Bacuna although there is plenty of room for improvement. Going forward they both offer a threat. Lowton is definitely one to persist with IMO. His performance vs Sunderland last season was ridiculously good! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Yes Bacuna has the extra pace Lowton puts in a better ball and reads the game better... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakid007 Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Good player but lacks pace & sometimes seems to react a lil slow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quazzie goat Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Played some class balls down the channel on Saturday. Has the ability on the ball without doubt, just needs a lot of work defensively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 His performance vs Sunderland last season was ridiculously good! It's not often you can score 6, a player get a hat-trick, and the right back is arguably MotM. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 His performance vs Sunderland last season was ridiculously good! It's not often you can score 6, a player get a hat-trick, and the right back is arguably MotM. Yes he was phenomenal that game but that seems a long time ago now. Difficult to say who has been the bigger disappointment this year out of him and Weimann. Hopefully both are able to develop in the right direction.

That's his problem. The amount of times I have seen him flummoxed by a simple one two is ridiculous, gets drawn into the centre way too much when defending, allows players to run goal side. He has no awareness and no idea what is going on around him. I expected this coming from league one, but he really hasn't pushed on as I hoped. He is useful with the ball though, and can put it a great delivery so that's something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poitier Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I thought he looked very poor defensively against Man City, he switches off, positioning is poor, slow to close down and is just too weak in the challenge. He has some quality further up the pitch, but not sure it is enough to be a better option than a proper midfielder in that position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilbertoAVFC Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Weak against city and Tottenham - not good enough Oh behave. Not good enough for who? Villa? Do you still think we "deserve" to be challenging for the league "because we're Aston Villa". Get real, we're not getting anybody better than that for a while. Besides, not many right-backs will have their best games in two games against far superior teams when the whole team is playing dross. He's young and has proven he is capable. You need to be realistic - if we are going to start to ship out people like Lowton who exactly do you expect to get in that is better and would actually join us? There is a lot of deadwood in the squad, but shipping every player out beyond Delph, Vlaar, Benteke and Guzan is not really viable is it and would completely ruin next season. I guess our potential new owners should come in and spend a load of money that we don't have again on "established Prem players" like we did with Habib Beye.

Please don't put words in my mouth I mentioned nothing about we should be battling for the title. I expect hard working, grafting and a desire to win none of which Lowton has shown this season. Against tottenham first goal he losses the ball doesnt even chase back and they score. His posistioning is terrible, slow and as above lacks desire and work rate. RB's better than Lowton that cost hardly anything: Coleman, Flanagan, Clyne, Bacuna (not even a RB) Edited May 13, 2014 by LondonVillian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awful logic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
