Black has no Lowe concerns

ERIC Black believes Jason Lowe has returned from Serbia high on confidence despite being involved in England under–21s controversial World Cup qualifier in midweek.

Rovers’ 21-year-old midfielder was on the pitch as the qualifer ended in shameful scenes after alleged racist chanting from sections of the Serbian crowd.

UEFA has charged the Football Associations of England and Serbia in the wake of Tuesday’s match but, as the furore continues, Black insists Lowe has returned to Ewood ready for tomorrow’s trip to Derby.

He said: “I have spoken to him on his performance. That is foremost in my mind. Obviously the circumstances are ones which we never want to see.

“He performed exceptionally well in both games and is bound to be feeling pretty good.

“It is ridiculous we are still facing these things in this day and age. It has to be removed from the game.

“I am 100 per cent behind the players reporting anything like that and 100 per cent behind anything being done to try and eradicate it.”

On Thursday Serbia’s football federation requested statements from all players and staff involved in Tuesday’s international.

I don't think they know where to play Lowe or how to make the best of him. I've seen glimpses of him that suggest he might one day make a good footballer, but his inept performances are more to do with shockingly poor coaching and management.
Kean first , now Black, both aided by that pasty faced Scottish granny robbing pisshead.

Jason Lowe is depriving some Sunday League Pub Side of a perfectly mediocre midfielder. This is another example of Eric Black demonstrating that he will NOT be around much longer.

Jason Lowe would have developed a lot more had he not been continuously played out of position or benched. I'm certain that the likes of Stuart Pearce have seen and done more in the game than you have, therefore I'll trust their instincts before I adhere to your beliefs about the lad.

After all, I'm pretty certain you don't get to captain your country at any level if you should be playing for the Rose & Crown...

If he is good enough for country then he should be good enough for club.
Maybe the mess at Rovers over the last 18 months or so has affected his performances for us? He certainly gets good reviews from Stuart Pearce the England U21 manager and I don't think he throws false praise around. Lowe maybe has more freedom to express himself playing for his country and perhaps he needs the boost a new manager should bring to the club to show his best form for us. In the meantime I would play him at RB in place of Orr.

Lowe played well in both games for the under 21s bu before critising the lad note where he played. Not right back, not right wing because frankly he is not quick enough. His best position is defensive midfield although must improve his tackling and not give away so many free kicks and bookings. Give him a chance and I think he will keep Murphy out.
Good luck to the lad. He is one of us.

Appreciate Murphy's legs seem to have 'gone'. Did we buy him as a defensive player? Surely we are all craving some distribution and telling passes more than anything. Murphy still has to come up with goods for Rovers and I doubt Lowe will ever match the high standards previouslt set by Murphy at his earlier clubs.

PS Pull your finger out Murphy and prove all your doubters wrong. It's what we need!

How much crack are you people on? Lowe is a QUALITY player. He will one day be Rovers captain. You cannot fault the guys effort and workrate especially when hes played out of position for most games.
His position should be the CDM role alongside Etuhu, drop Murphy and watch him shine.

Perhaps now Jason Lowe and Simon Vukavic have played for their national teams with coaches who know what they are doing. Rovers' useless and inept coaching staff might have some idea how and what positions to play them both in. But knowing the Venkys clown show I will not hold my breath for any changes or improvement
