I think he did enough to keep his place for tomorrow personally.
Confidence must be high having scored the goal and now getting a call up. I'll be shocked if he doesn't start.
Which is mad really considering how many signings we made.

Promising......but not completely ready yet for me....not aggressive enough yet....bit of a catch 22 situation?
Doing well while he has his chance, gets in good positions

I like him and junho together.
Definitely good enough to get the nod ahead of Wes and Gayle.
Though admittedly that doesn't mean a lot.

Yeah but we are still paying Gayle's wages until the end of the season. I think Gayle alongside Lowe could work.

I’m sorry but I disagree, I went yesterday and there were two golden opportunities that he missed.
The first, just before half time when Junior crossed and he completely missed it, and the header at the start of the second half which was a real sitter.
Vidigal would have scored both, he has the instinct whereas Lowe doesn’t
He may make it as he gets older but too soon for me

Promising but not ready yet in my opinion. Controversial I know but I'd give Gayle a few games. Shit or bust. Perhaps with Bae in the no 10 role. |

But he's not ready to be a regular starter and it could harm his development rather than help it if he's having to shoulder the responsibility of leading the line for a struggling team at his age. This is a job for an experienced striker who can take the pressure and won't take criticism too much to heart. Not a young kid with no proven track record and the confidence that brings you to know you belong at this level. Who will be feeling like a failure and that he's let everyone down every time he has a game like yesterday and has a couple of costly misses. |

He's going to miss chances, most strikers would have missed the chances he had against Leicester too, these aren't 5 a side chances, they are balls fizzed in at pace and behind him. He's already ahead of Wesley and Gayle. From the few games Mmaee played I've seen more from Lowe too. We need to support him and let him know how well he is playing overall, not just the missed chances. |

Hasnt everyone not seen enough of Gayle to realise he was a busted flush when we signed him and has only got worse since . Lowe is at the start of his career he has to start because of injuries and the fact he is the best fit striker available , getting there to miss chances is progress from Stokes strikers of recent years hopefully soon he can develop at his own pace but anytime we give him he is learning and developing

It's hardly his fault that at just 18 years old, he's currently the best (fit) option we have for the central striker role. |

Simply put. Lowe is not good enough, and he is as poor as Gayle and Campbell. And AN is not quite the tactical savvy coach we have. We really need a new coach/manager. Pronto!

Judging a kid

Yes Lowe needs a chance but again stoke doesnt really offer a very good place for kids to start and develop their careers imo. That's because it's generally high pressure, there isn't a set culture to just fit into, and theres no patience and rightfully so in many ways due to money spent. You either hit the ground running and do well or you have to go out on loan. Not much place for biding time and developing, rather than say at a mid table champ or league 1 club who don't expect anything. For us, even tho we are shite, we still expect due to recent history, and money. Even if in the short term we are happy with progress it cannot even for one session regress. That's why this season is such a fuck up.

Yes, Laurent hasn't been contributing all season either. |

scored the winner v Bristol
officials say he did win a penalty when he was rugby tackled to the ground v southampton and the ref should have given it .
so making some good runs and doing some good things . Not bad for a lad just turned 18 .
In limited time on the pitch , he has made a few mistakes but had a positive impact , that's good going for a lad just turned 18.
we should keep the faith .
if that means wes or gayle on the bench then I am going to stick my neck out on this one and say they wouldn't have scored a hatful, anyway .
he is playing on merit , albeit because wes and gayle have set the bar very very low .
good luck to him .

Yes the lad should've buried the chance against Leicester
But he's scored a winner and played 2 games against teams from the prem last season including one who would easily compete in the prem.
Needs to be given time and arguably thrown in too soon.
Considering he's not rated as highly as Tezgel, he's still got bags of potential.

The poor lad wouldn't be anywhere near the First Team if Tezgel was fit never mind the other injured strikers. A loan would ave been perfect for him and post January you'd hope that might still be the case.

Finishing chances doesn't really matter. Anybody can score a freaky goal. It's getting into good positions that makes for an effective forward and probability dictates that you'll score more goals than a good finisher who struggles to get into the right place. It's why Brown and Diouf were such excellent (but underrated) forwards.

If he manages to net one v Sunderland, he will be the 2nd coming yet again.

Decent that. No idea how Gayle has been getting playing over him even if it's just for his development. |

Me too. He's more mobile, has good movement and lasts longer than 20 minutes. Plus, his instincts are better. |

I really don't think Lowe is ready yet, but still he is miles better than Gayle! I really wish I'll never see Gayle on the pitch again in a Stoke kit!  |

Think he has something about him and of course he needs to develop so needs minutes, but he’s our future.
Nice to see SJW in that video as well……a modern day Benjamin Button…..he looks younger than ever 😂

What a lovely video.
He grew up in my part of the world and occasionally gets a bit of coverage in the local paper - let’s hope this has just been the start of something special.

"This is a momentum... to say fank you... " 😳 He should be playing, he had two excellent chances against Leicester, he should probably have scored, but the encouraging thing is he was in a position to have them. Of course he hasn't been seen since, well done the management team! 🙄 |
