I get the fitness issue but Lowe is quality in my opinion. In terms of football ability he is a no brainer.

I think we can do better tbh, He is a steady player but I want more.

Agree, would take him in a heartbeat on a permanent.
Not got the athelticism of Spence (who has?) but the rest of his game is solid.
I think Lowe is a bit underrated due to how good Spence is on the opposite side. Lowe is a good Championship left back.
It's his fitness that worries me more than his ability. I'll trust the club's judgement on this one, they've gotten most things right since Murphy came through the door after all.

I think solid describes him very well, but hes a hundred miles from Spence in terms of quality. I'd view him in the same bracket, quality wise as Yuri Ribiero and I don't remember too much fuss when he was allowed to go on a free.
As has been said a few times, for me, with Spence its about how much dosh he costs. If its reasonable great, but if we are coughing up 3M in a fee, with several million in signing on fees and wages I'd look very carefully at other options first.
We've struggled for a decent left back for years and now we have one in Lowe he's not good enough. The expectation level seems to have risen with our league position.

I don't think Lowe is better than Ribeiro. He would have thrived in our current system with the way he bombed forward and his athleticism. They way he plays is quite similar to Spence. I wish we still had him.You're right. I wasn't fussed when Ribeiro went as I thought we could replace him with a much better player. Which is exactly what we did.
Spence is a physical freak and a much better ball carrier but I think the rest of Lowe's game stacks up pretty well.

I know it's all what ifs but I think Cooper would have loved him. He's high energy and very athletic. Again similar to Spence where he would have been far better deployed as a wing back as you say. He would have given us better balance and we would have been a genuine threat down both flanks.Me too. He was always better as a wing-back than as a purely defensive option, and he had the engine to get up and down the pitch.
I think Lowe > Ribeiro easily.

He has been very good all season bar QPR away and that last game where he was injured.
Lowe's defensive & in particular tackling display away at Blackburn was immense. He seems to balance when to get forward and when not to well but he has a great inside pass to him that he often finds our player to feet very well. He probably can get away from a marker & deal with contact better than Ribeiro too. Not taking anything away from Ribeiro though. He was good for us.
But I do agree that injuries are a concern. I seem to remember him getting lots of niggling injuries at Derby.
Thank God. Thought it was just me.
My abiding memory of Ribeiro was a player who struggled with any kind of contact, his positioning was poor, but he did have some success going forward.
Lowe every day for me. if he could stay fit, Id snap him up next season.
