    Stoke City were unacceptable pushovers in mid-week but I’ve seen something great in Nathan Lowe

    Legendary Stoke City player Mike Pejic discusses two very different performances from the past week and explains why he believes Nathan Lowe has a lot of potential.

    Over the past week, we have witnessed two sides of Stoke City, and they were both terrifying and encouraging.Last Sunday, I was energized after leaving the Hawthorns, but I had to sit back and watch the Portsmouth game.
    At West Brom, we witnessed a well-organized Stoke team that played well in possession, defense, and recovery.Players lacked a competitive edge and were pushed off the ball far too easily at Fratton Park. Players weren’t powerful enough on their own. They appeared to be frail.

    It is imperative that you have the ability to compete before you can think about possession and creativity. It was done at West Brom. We were in good hands and had a respectable outfit in the first half, and we were prepared to defend in the second. They were willing to play.

    Then you travel to Portsmouth, who are right behind you by only two points and third from the bottom due to their recent home record. The first thing you should do is make sure you’re focused for the full ninety minutes and prepared to perform with a sense of urgency that demonstrates how important the match is. Work early, don’t allow them any room, and push the ball.

    They were such pliable objectives. Portsmouth’s second goal was caused by a long ball over the top that we failed to handle, and the third goal was a header at the far post that we failed to mark or defend well. We were easily influenced. It was poor and weak, and I would be a little concerned if I were Mark Robins.

    I had hoped that we had seen a foundation for what was to happen, and that we would prove it or perhaps improve upon it by the middle of the week. Put on your work boots and get to work. Although I am aware that there are injuries, let’s see what we have. Rather, it will have been a lengthy coach ride home while contemplating it.

    He was really disappointed. You must work hard off the ball, and if they succeed, it will be about recuperation and last-ditch difficulties. To maintain believing and moving forward, one must adopt a never-say-die mindset. The most important thing is to have all those elements.

    It’s not an easy remedy, he’s right. Working hard on the training field and establishing your expectations for each practice and game will help you overcome it. When mistakes occur, you point them out and emphasize that they should never occur. that they cannot be tolerated. It must be small enough that if one player loses the brush, another is prepared to take over and ensure

    With Gary Rowett returning to town today, all of that will be put to the test.Regardless of the outcome this afternoon, his team is well-prepared, and he has had an incredible start to his tenure as Oxford’s manager, moving them up in the Championship standings.

    They come in here following a victory over a struggling Luton team that recently dropped out of the Premier League. It can be difficult to get things straightened out after being demoted, especially if you’ve been up for ten years. When Rowett took over at Stoke, he had a few difficult months, with dismal performances in August and September. However, he had a fantastic October.

    December was passable and November was excellent. At the beginning of January, he was fired.

    Although there was a lot to resolve, it seems like we have primarily added to the issues in the six years that have passed. What would have occurred if he had stayed back then is a thought that keeps coming to me. I find it hard to imagine it not going better.

    Nathan Lowe scored his goal last weekend with great skill, but it was a chance that he missed that really got me to pay attention.

    His time on loan at Walsall has allowed him to grow significantly, and he is eager and willing.Having a terrific body position, being in the right place at the right time, and having the kind of instinct you want to see around the six- and 12-yard box, he took his goal really well.

    He will work tirelessly for ninety minutes or so, and the most important thing for him will be learning how to avoid needless running, which he occasionally won’t even realize he’s doing since he is honest, which is a great quality to have. It’s only a matter of time until he realizes that he’s hungry to learn and will find himself in better circumstances more frequently.

    more and more about where to be, when to place the ball, if teammates or defenders are in this or that position, what will happen, and what you can do.

    The expert at it was Gary Lineker. It can involve standing motionless, walking, or making one, two, or three dummy runs to move a center-back before a dart, and then you’re in the right position to receive that crucial touch that you somehow made look effortless.

    Although it was a fantastic goal, I was most delighted about Lowe’s second opportunity shortly after halftime. After removing a center-back’s shoulder, he slid to the far post area to be on the end of Wouter Burger’s cross. A great striker created the play that led him there, but he was unable to make the contact he desired. Do not stop!
