We didn't really need to sign Knight though.

MON could've done something radical like I don't know actually sign a right back to play in that position and we could've then had Laursen, Mellberg, Davies and Cahill fighting for the 4 positions which would've been a nice balance.

Faint praise I know, but I thought Lowton was one of Lambert's better signings and think he would have been okay in a better side. Interesting to see the level of clubs our Premier League regulars are ending up at though.

Each to their own, but I thought he was largely dreadful, and his poor defensive ability was masked to a certain extent by the two wonder goals he scored.

Lowton had a good spell towards the end of Lamberts first season.

Apart from that, his performances ranged from mediocre to poor.

I couldn't agree more. He also wore a T shirt under his kit which is always a bad sign, especially when you can see it. With his youthful looks, he always reminded me of a boy at school who was no good at football but wanted to be popular and who had been asked to fill in for the 1st XI at the last moment and most of the time that is exactly how he played

I remember towards the end of his first season, he was being linked with bids from Arsenal.

That shows how awful some of these transfer rumours are

Thing that pissed me off more than anything was his attitude at times, he is getting a good wage playing shite football and yet not good enough for him

I liked Lowton. Nice footballer to watch as he was decent on the ball.

He just lacked that bit extra to kick on and back up his strong finish to 12/13.

Plenty of full backs in the premier league can't defend, we see that every week particularly against players with pace. The problem Lowton had is once people got past him they were gone as he didn't have any recovery pace, see the Falcao goal when Young did him.

If he had that he'd still be in the premier league, here or elsewhere.

Harsh. I don't recall him pulling a strop.

When going forward did he ever go down the line ? He always seemed cut in side when he had the ball which I thought was strange.
