Matthew Lowton

Bye Mat and good luck at Burnley but simply not good enough at defending.

Bye Mat. Another player who always put in a shift and had a couple of great moments. Great effort to win the penalty against West Brom. It probably kept us up. Grateful for what he did for us and wish him well.

No as bad as Joe Bennett is about the best you can say. Good luck.

[Clampy]

For the money we paid, he did ok. The goal at Stoke (and the celebration afterwards) will live in the memory. Best of luck to him.

[Steve67]

Yeah, tara a bit. Another one goes.

Seconded.

£1 million seems a little low, I guess it depends on the add ons. I always thought he was technically good and a good attacking option. But he was one of the poorest defenders I've seen in terms of positioning. Good luck in the future.

I am sorry that he never quite made it...was he almost a bit too nice?

Thought we'd got a real cracker of a RB by the end of his first season - my Blades' mate reckoned we'd got their best player and was chuffed he was going to a proper club like The Villa.
His goal v Swansea was out of the blue, his goal at Stoke was special - think I've still got the scars on my shins - and is one of my best away moments over the last 5 years.

Good luck Matt...Burnley seem to be a good club to play for.

Looked to have potential initially but overall didn't look strong or technically competent enough defensively at this level. Probably do well in the Championship. Good luck to him.

[supertom]

One million is pretty decent to be fair. He's been poor and unfavoured these last two seasons. Tail end of his first season he looked promising, particularly going forward, but he's not really ironed out the defensive errors and he's too lightweight to play FB in this league I think. He and Bennett look like a pair of 12 year old vegan kids.

Good luck to him though. Burnley's a good move for him, and they're due to lose their first choice RB, so he could well step straight in as first choice.

[LTA]

Good luck Matt.  Some really good memories like the goals against Stoke and Swansea, plus his role in Wiemanns goal against Sunderland.

However, it says a great deal that the players who are leaving are going to Championship clubs.

[silhillvilla]

Good luck Lowts.
Great goals and work rate but you should of moved house son .

[brontebilly]

good move for Lowton. Could do with physically toughening up over the summer. Good player on the ball but falls short of the required standard defensively.

[warleyboy]

Good luck Matt, wishing you luck in your career.
Thanks for the Stoke away goal, memories forever.

[CT]

Good luck to Matt. THAT goal at Stoke and THAT effort for the Albion penalty. Two crucial moments that helped us stay up during his time here.
